Book Description
This book contains all the information you need to work successfully with young children, including supportive advice culled from years of experience. The most important thing I have to impart is respect. Respect for children, respect for tools, and respect for a hands-on experience that will bring pleasure, self confidence, and real competence to anyone who gets involved. Like juggling and other hand-eye coordination skills, learning to use tools, to measure carefully, to cut accurately, to smooth thoroughly, and to bring a woodworking project to completion can have implications for a child's well-being, concentration, self confidence, work ethic and patience that will affect all other areas of life, including classroom learning. Not to mention the sheer joy involved in working together- parent and child.
