Why does Britain and its former colonies send children to school as young as four and five, when in eighty-eight per cent of the world the starting age is six or seven? Sue Palmer, author of best-selling Toxic Childhood, uncovers the truth: it's not because of what's best for children, but historical accident and economics. Palmer examines research ranging from neurological science to educational data, and shows that under-sevens gain most - educationally, physically, socially and psychologically - from not being stuck behind a desk. Upstart puts forward a passionate case for Britain adopting a proper 'kindergarten' stage that recognizes what under-sevens really need. With clarity, ease and vigor, Palmer describes a different way of doing early years education that would have huge benefits both for individual children, and for our nation. | Upstart by Sue Palmer, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
