The author believes that education is important, but is also of the firm conviction that children should not be pressurised into learning. It is not a competition or a race, but should be fun, and the author puts this into practice with her own six-year-old daughter. She turns ordinary everyday experiences into fun learning experiences for Carla, who is unaware that she is being taught valuable lessons. Based on Marion Aldred's approach to her daughter's education, this work features practical advice on how to make learning fun for children. Parents, carers and teachers are urged to listen to children, to answer all their questions and to give them lots of love and understanding, creating a secure environment where learning is encouraged but not forced. The manual covers all the important aspects of living, about which children have to learn as they grow up.
