funnygirl Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I just finished reading Coloring Outside the Lines by Roger Schank. This is one of the books that One l Michele has recommended often in her responses. I found this book to be extremely encouraging. The author describes 6 traits of a "smart" kid. 5/6 of these are attributes my special needs dd already has in spades (like gumption ;)). They were all "outside the box"-type traits; ones that I find commonly described on this board. He spends much of the book discussing how to discover and develop these traits in your kids. He is also a big proponent of "experience" as a learning tool, which made me feel better since our homeschool days never look as "schoolish" as I think they should. Anyhoo, kudos to Michele for your recommendation. Thanks!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
