The much-awaited book on American educator Steven Rudolph’s Laws of Learning (LOL) is here. As the first comprehensive parenting book for Indian parents, The 10 Laws of Learning helps parents in creating better learning environments for children, making them champions in life.
After more than two decades in the field of education, working with thousands of children, parents and teachers and after reading hundreds of books and articles (from the ancient Vedas to the latest studies in neuroscience), Steve has developed a set of principles which he calls the 10 LOLS. These laws have been derived at from proven, universal principles that have stood the test of time and have created a simple framework that is both easy to understand and implement.
The Laws of Learning is an educational concept which proposes that there are a number of educational principles, which, if followed, increase the amount an individual learns. These concepts, which also incorporate the educational theories of Multiple Intelligences and Multiple Natures, encompass all aspects of children’s education and career that include health, psychological well-being, goal-setting, organising and planning abilities, social etiquettes, behaviour improvement, smart study-techniques and career decision-making. LOLs are pertinent to teachers, principals, administrators and parents.
The 10 LOLs are:
Law 1: Teach Children to Take Care of Themselves
Law 2: Teach Children to Believe in Themselves
Law 3: Teach Children to Explore
Law 4: Teach Children to Make Goals
Law 5: Teach Children to Plan
Law 6: Teach Children the Rules of the Game
Law 7: Teach Children to Practice
Law 8: Teach Children to Play
Law 9: Teach Children the Tricks of the Game
Law 10: Teach Children to Perform Like Champions
The LOLs have now been inter-woven into a book form by the same name, peppered with relevant examples, illustrations and keen insight. Published by international publishing giant, Random House, this book helps parents to be better equipped to guide their children choose their ideal career paths.
The book has features such as case studies, carrying real life parenting scenarios; coaching tips, containing practical, useful ideas for parents and troubleshooting, a list of 25 most common problems faced by parents and their solutions.
