Editorial Reviews
Review
Louise Bates AmesGesell Institute of Human DevelopmentProvocative, scholarly, and timely. Society may actually be changing our children's brains for the worse.

Priscilla Vailauthor of Smart Kids with School ProblemsEndangered Minds is a masterly blend of scientific knowledge, educational expertise, psychological insight, and common sense....Jane Healy sounds warnings we should all heed, and offers priorities and strategies compatible with the nature of childhood and the flowering of intellect.

Educational LeadershipA fascinating exploration of today's much-deplored decline in school achievement....[Healy] clearly conveys the relationship between language, learning, and brain development, then explains why television viewing and present-day lifestyles sabotage language acquisition, thinking, and personal success.
