You would do anything for your kids, right What if you could do something meaningful for them in less than 15 minutes a day You can. You can give your kids superpowers. These superpowers come through a combination of knowledge and empowerment which is the result of attention from you parents while playing games with your kids.

In Empower Your Kids, bestselling author Noah Charney shows parents how to teach kids something new every daywhile playing. As a professor and parent of two, Charney knows the importance of education while also recognizing the valuable role games play in child development. Combining the two makes learning easy, painless, even fun. Because parents are often overwhelmed with getting everyone off to school, work, cleaning, and bedtime routines, Charney has compiled invaluable miniature lessons to share with families, lessonlets, that take as little as one minute and no more than 15 to complete. Each lessonlet includes some professional tricks to make them more fun and to better stick in your childs mind. Take a big, complicated concept and break it down into bite-sized pieces, scaled to whatever each child can handle and enjoy!

Parents will find that the miniature lessons are about playing first (in an educational way), and the learning is just a powerful, positive side effect. Featuring 365 lessons throughout the book, with topics as wide ranging as dinosaurs, the Middle Ages, art, the natural world, and outer space, Empower Your Kids is an indispensable resource for families wanting to learn and have fun at the same time.
