“This book offers practical ideas for parents to facilitate children's growth as they mature and develop thinking skills, including how to best work with schools without taking over for them.”

Nic Cooper, Author of How to Keep Being a Parent...When Your Child Stops Being a Child

Baker College, Jackson, MI

“Written in a conversational style, the chapters flow and the information is cumulative. The author discovered the importance of the brain as it applies to learning and a successful life and then translated the information into an understandable text that is parent and teacher friendly. I love this book.”

Patricia Baker, Teacher

Mary Walter Elementary School, Fauquier County, VA

"After Dr. Tate presented 20 Ways to Increase Your Child’s Brain Power at our school, a father informed me he planned to re-paint his home because Dr. Tate spoke about how color influences children. How great is that? The parents were so excited about this interactive workshop! Many inquired if a date had been scheduled for Dr. Tate’s return visit."

Charlene Christian-Andrews, Staff Development Coordinator

Suffolk Public Schools, VA

"This book is an example of how powerful Marcia Tate’s brain-based strategies are when applied in the lives of our children. While targeting parents, her strategies are presented in a practical, down-to-earth manner that recognizes that parents are a child’s first and most enduring teachers."

Gina Humphries, Academically/Intellectually Gifted Coordinator

Catawba County Schools, Newton, NC

"Marcia Tate brings the same excitement for brain-compatible teaching strategies to parents that she has shown educators for years. She makes all of us—educators and parents alike—think about how we can help our students become successful in school and throughout their lives!"

Kathy Bowie, Curriculum Facilitator

About This Title

Make sure your children grow dendrites!

As children’s first teachers, parents need to provide a firm foundation for lifelong learning. In this new book, award-winning educator Marcia L. Tate provides a research-based road map for raising respectful, responsible children who achieve to their fullest potential. The best-selling author, mother, and grandmother shares brain-compatible strategies for guiding children toward personal, academic, and career success. Her latest book provides parents and caregivers with a wealth of practical tips and tools for:

  • Creating a calm and brain-compatible home environment
  • Incorporating positive physical contact and verbal communication
  • Encouraging play that develops creativity and imagination
  • Strengthening children’s auditory, tactile, kinesthetic, and visual modes of learning

Preparing Children for Success in School and Life shows parents how to help children’s brains “grow dendrites” in everyday ways such as telling them stories, using music to enhance memory, turning homework time into fun time, and allowing them freedom to draw and write. From day one through graduation and beyond, you and your family will reap the benefits of the author’s 30+ years of experience with thousands of children.
