That Matters
What can policymakers, educators and parents do to help students develop the mathematical skills they need in the 21st century?
Our research suggests a number of ways to make a difference:
1.Build children’s emotional vocabulary by labeling your own feelings, their feelings as they experience them, and the feelings of characters in stories or on television.
2. Develop a community of social support for children with autism or other special needs, including peers, neighbors, friends, and family.
3. Embrace spontaneous science; find science in everyday activities and explore children’s thinking about these unexpected moments.
4. Read with children, allowing them to revisit favorite books often and read them aloud.
5. Improve communication by respecting families’ languages and their religious and cultural beliefs.
