This book walks the reader through how brains develop, the stages of language, play and social development, and why ear infections can lead to autistic behaviors, attention problems and cognitive delays.

The ancient samurai warrior, Miyamoto Musashi, discovered something that neuroscientists would not discover for nearly 400 years: any average person can develop elite skills if they have the right teacher and practice long enough.

Beginning with clear explanations of how sensory experiences become information and skills, how critical concepts in math, reading, spelling and writing evolve, and how teachers can use basic principles of neuroscience to produce elite students, Samurai Teacher leads the reader step-by-step through the process of brain-based education.
