Over twenty years ago, Dr. Lauren Bradway discovered that all children use one of three distinct ways to grasp and remember information. Some learn best through sound and langua≥ others, through visual stimulation; and others, through touch. In this unique book, Dr. Bradway first shows you how to determine your child's inherent style.
