In the cycles of world change, the paradigm has shifted from producing assembly-line students to fit the mold of and industrialized mold, to a feeling world in which a growing child must understand themselves to learn how to adapt in a more fluidic and interactive world of information.  Old precedents will not serve now and as Ms. Rolkowski shows us, to further intelligence itself, we must teach parents and educators how to help children to understand and work with their emotional development as part of the learning process.  This is a fascinating discussion that is sure to hit home with you and give a voice to things you may instinctively recognize as true.  Thanks to Gina Rolkowski, that voice will be leading our educators with methods that have achieved results with many children.
