A Seminar For Parents on Advancing A Child’s Development
toMany people believe that abilities are something we are born with, as part of
our genetic inheritance. However, the evidence suggests that learning abilities are not innate and completely determined by biology. Abilities develop and the way in which they
develop depends on a child’s social environment. In other words, what parents do with their children matters.
Here’s a not-to-be-missed opportunity to learn first hand from a world leading expert on practical application of Vygotsky’s theories on child development –
Galina Dolya on supporting your child for optimal abilities development. She will be covering the following topics in her seminar :
• Tools of the Mind: Development of higher mental functions
• Symbolic tools that can change the child’s developmental trajectory
• Symbolic Literacy: substitution and visual modelling
• Teaching giftedness: from caterpillar to butterfly
• What are learning abilities? Where do they come from?
• Development of giftedness = development of learning abilities
• Optimal educational environment for the development of giftedness
• Acceleration of learning vs amplification of learning
