Leave your children in peace!!!<br />
The difficult balance between early<br />
learning and career stress.<br />
Today children are pushed to acquire<br />
skills at an increasingly early age.<br />
Bilingual kindergartens, intelligencetraining<br />
programs, music classes,<br />
swimming lessons for babies: All derive<br />
from parents' wish to give their children a<br />
head start in life – and from the very<br />
beginning.<br />
Committed parents don't want their<br />
children to miss out on any opportunity.<br />
Yet is it really a good thing to confront<br />
young children with a full schedule of<br />
activities?<br />
The line between support and excessive<br />
demands is a fine one, and the doubts<br />
about which approach is right are many.<br />
The educational expert Wolfgang<br />
Bergmann shows why early learning can<br />
actually retard children's intelligence and<br />
what children really need.<br />
Wolfgang Bergmann (1944 – <strong>2011</strong>)<br />

The father of three children, he directed<br />
the Institute of Child Psychology and<br />
Educational Therapy in Hanover and was<br />
the author of numbers of successful<br />
nonfiction books.<br />
