Stacey Coolidge Fancy-Smancy Cursive Handwriting: A Positive Growth Mindset and Fine Motor Skills Book for Kids to Build Confidence and Self-Esteem (The Adventures of Everyday Geniuses) - Hardcover

“Over the years I have witnessed great advances in our understanding of learning styles. Yet I have been struck with how little progress we have made in translating this research into words and practices that students and their parents can use. The books of the Mainstream Connections series are honest but positive, helpful without preaching, and they are readable but not too simplistic. I have no doubt these books will touch the hearts and minds of many, and help some lost children find good in themselves.” Dr. Jeffrey Gilger, Purdue University, College of Education Professor and Associate Dean for Research and Faculty Development. Dr. Gilger has been a reviewer for over 40 journals and publishers in the areas of education, psychology, and medicine.|"These books should help children and their parents understand that we all have different skills, abilities, and learning styles. Such differences do not make any one child better or worse than any other; they just make the children different. The books convey respect for all children whatever their differences, and they encourage the children to develop their own unique set of skills." Dr. Edward L. Deci, University of Rochester Gowen Professor of Psychology A grantee of the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and the National Science Foundation, and a fellow of the American Psychological Association and the American Psychological Society He is Chairman of the Board of the Institute for Research and Reform in Education, based in Philadelphia.
