Présentation de l'éditeur

This fascinating account of an unusual research project challenges many assumptions about how young children learn and how best to teach them. In particular it turns upside–down the commonly held belief that professionals know better than parents how to educate and bring up children; and it throws doubt on the theory that working–class children underachieve at school because of a language deficit at home. The second edition of this bestselling text includes a new introduction by Judy Dunn. Fascinating account of an unusual research project challenges many assumptions about how young children.
