Maximise Your Child's Performance by Jennie Segar talks about some very important issues for the proper development of children. It deals with aspects such as the benefits of playing sports, activities to awaken children's creativity, or how to take advantage of free time. Jennie Segar explains it from her experience, with anecdotes about her children, the care of other children, and from memories of her own childhood. The arguments are supported by references to books and articles, and this helps us to search for more information on our own and verify the data. The book is complete, with excellent advice and suggestions, perfect for parents and teachers because it helps to understand the needs of children and how to act correctly in many types of circumstances.

I loved this book. Maximise Your Child's Performance is not limited to giving data and advice; it seeks the good of children. For example, when the book talks about how to select a musical instrument, Jennie Segar considers the children's perspective and the possible difficulties they might have. In addition, she teaches that adults can make mistakes, but we can learn from our mistakes to be a better example for children. I was excited about the reference section at the end of the book because the author did a lot of research. It is very organized with the references arranged by topic. The writing has a very friendly and sincere style, very easy to follow because it is from the point of view of experience. This is a very enriching book.

Maximise Your Child’s Performance: A Concise Guide to Unlocking Their Potential by Jennie Segar is an extremely helpful book for parents and caregivers who want to provide the best foundation for children. Through the pages of this book, the reader will gain insight into what children require and how to motivate them to maximize their potential. The first thing Jennie explains is parenting is a team sport. Children need to feel like they are loved and belong. A loving parent will spend time with their children playing games that promote stimulating the brain. In my area, the non-academic subjects have been downplayed over recent years. Jennie’s research shows that sports and music are essential to fully develop a child’s brain. Another good practice is reading to or with your children and sharing in storytelling. This is wonderful for building both reading and writing skills. Technology, pets, and nutrition are also discussed.

Are you a parent or caregiver? Do you care about the needs of children? If so, Jennie Segar has written a book that will assist you to improve your child’s academic growth. Too often, parents feel as if they play a minor, if not insignificant role in the development of their children. Jennie debunks this myth. The importance of a parent’s role in their children’s development is seen in Maximise Your Child’s Performance. While Jennie quotes statistics and propounds theories, she does so in layman’s terms. Her style of writing is easy to read and understand. Her goal is not to impress the reader but to promote understanding of how to best support children.
