The Learning Game: Teaching Kids to Think for Themselves, Embrace Challenge, and Love Learning

Ana Lorena Fábrega

Publisher: Harriman House ISBN: 9781804090510 Released: 05.09.2023

Publisher PRAuthor InterviewsContent CreationReviewsRadio

How did we conclude that the best way to prepare kids for the future is to cluster them into classrooms by age and grade, forcing them to learn the same things, at the same time and pace, seven hours a day, five days a week, for twelve years? We trust the school system to prepare our kids for the future. We get excited when they get good grades, or disappointed if they don’t. But we rarely stop to question whether school is teaching our children the right things in the right way.

Kids could get good at playing the game of school, but are they really learning?

Teacher-turned-edupreneur Ana Lorena Fábrega, known by her students as Ms. Fab, invites us to rethink education in her book The Learning Game, she reveals how traditional schooling has gone wrong, and proposes a series of actionable strategies to help kids learn.

What if we guide kids to think for themselves?

Should we encourage kids to take risks and tackle projects of their own?

How do we help kids learn to love learning?

Answering these questions and many more, The Learning Game will arm you with practical tools to design a new approach to learning―one that leaves behind the game of school and prepares your kids for the game of life.

Cathy Press

Publisher: Press Publishing ISBN: 978-0992707712 Released: 11.04.2022

Book PRThought Leader PRAuthor InterviewsReviews

In her new book, When Love Bites, psychotherapist Cathy Press shows young people they are not responsible for the way a partner treats them or for how they feel about themselves as a result of their behaviour.

Mother Animal

Helen Jukes

Publisher: Elliott & Thompson Released: 27.02.2025

Book PRPublisher PRSerialisationAuthor InterviewsReviews

When Helen Jukes falls pregnant, she does what anyone else would do. She searches for information to help make sense of the changes underway inside her. But as the months pass and her body becomes increasingly strange, the pregnancy guides seem insufficient; even the advice of her friends feels oppressive.

So she widens her frame of reference, looking beyond humans to ask what motherhood looks like in other species. Here she begins a process of wilder enquiry, in which stories of spiders, polar bears, bonobos and burying beetles (among others) begin to unsettle and expand her notion of what mothering is; what it could be.

As she enters the sleeplessness, chaos and intimate discoveries of life with a newborn, these animal stories become Helen’s companions and guides. They allow her to explore where her own animality begins and ends and how the polluted stuff of human industry has come to influence life, even from its very beginnings.

A passionate, visceral and intimate account of a body changed, Mother Animal combines personal memoir with fresh insights from evolutionary biology, zoology and toxicology to ask the big questions that lie at the heart of what it means to be alive – and a mother – today.
