Authors of Einstein Never Used Flashcards at Edward
Hospital
for Just for Grown Ups:
Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, PhD, and Roberta
M. Golinkoff, PhD, co-authors of Einstein
Never Used Flashcards: How Our Children REALLY Learn – and Why They Need to
Play More and Memorize Less, will conduct an informative discussion about
early childhood education on October 5 at 7 p.m. in the Education Center at
Edward Hospital, 801 S. Washington St. in Naperville. This event is open to the public as the first
of this season’s DuPage Children’s Museum Just for GrownUps adult education
series, which awards Continuing Professional Development Units (CPDUs) to
program participants at the completion of each program.
The authors
will highlight play as a central component in children's mental growth--helping
children make meaning in their world, learn about themselves and learn how to
get along with others—and discuss how difficult it is for adults to resist the
trends of our achievement-oriented society when we're faced with the choice of
allowing our children more downtime or signing them up for the latest class,
sport, or activity.

Time: 7:00 p.m.

Auditorium on the third floor of the
