About the Book

An invaluable resource for parents wishing to arm their children with the life skills necessary to succeed in a STEM-driven culture. In today's world of STEM, all children-even those with interests outside of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics-need to develop specific skills in order to flourish in a complex landscape. Parents want to help their kids but are often overwhelmed by all the STEM products that aren't necessarily as valuable as they claim. In STEM SMART Parenting, educators Alan Zollman, Lisa Hoffman, and Emily K. Suh unpack the research on STEM learning into a reader-friendly, practical guide for parents and caregivers. It introduces activities and resources that help kids of all ages build the necessary STEM mindset, includes no-cost ideas that parents can use with their children to promote STEM thinking, and shows readers how to evaluate which STEM games, toys, and activities actually deliver what they promise. With real-life examples, daily activities, and key takeaways, this book shows parents how to help their children, from toddlers to teenagers, cultivate critical thinking skills and become intellectual risk takers, prepared for a world where STEM proficiency is essential.

Review :
This work is a relevant resource with accessible ideas to help increase a child's STEM skills. STEM SMART Parenting: A Practical Guide for Nurturing Innovative Thinkers is a must-read for anyone parenting or mentoring youth today! This is an easy-to-read, practical, and incredibly helpful guide to empower adults to better build STEM resiliency and excitement in children and adolescents. Read this book and be drawn in by the authors' heartwarming, relatable, and invaluable personal stories as students, parents, and educators. I absolutely loved the “What Adults Can Do” phrases that support STEM SMART. This is a book I absolutely adore and am excited to share it as a resource with educators and families near and far! Generating innovative ideas to solve future problems requires STEM thinking. STEM education involves more than just learning facts and playing with cool toys-it's a way of being and thinking. This book provides insights for parents on how to help their children become innovative and critical thinkers. The authors stress the importance of nurturing problem-solving skills, perseverance, risk-taking, and other qualities to help kids reach their potential. They also offer research-based strategies that are easy to understand and implement.
