Meet The Author...
Jan Katzen-Luchenta
My goal as an
educator of young children
is to empower them with
every advantage to become
"unlimited learners."
The prepared environment at
home or at school includes
an array of challenging,
fun, and purposeful
activities with built in
controls of error that guide
the child towards
self-mastery and confidence.
The child's inner prepared
environment or nutritional
status is of equal
importance. Nutrition, as it
applies to learning,
behavior and mood, has been a
focus of mine for years.
While "following the child,"
I decided to scientifically
confirm my detailed
observations and
research
neuro-nutrition.
All of the current
nutritional studies point in
the same conclusive
direction; many nutrients
are implicated throughout
the life span to support
mental health and
deficiencies may prevent
conception, compromise the
neurological development of
the fetus, diminish a
child’s ability to learn,
impair mental health, and
cause cognitive decline
later in life.

Praise for Nutrition for Learning
(Eight year-old son) |
"The
information we learned from reading your
book has made a night and day difference in
my son’s ability to focus at school,
therefore transforming his experience of
school from a painful and stressful one to
an enjoyable and pleasurable one.
A couple of weeks after these
dietary changes, we had a conference with his teachers. Before we had even been
seated, they were eagerly asking us what we were doing for Michael that was
making such a night and day difference in his ability to accomplish his work (I
think they thought we had put him on medication). We mentioned reading your book
and making the dietary changes, and they couldn’t believe it.
He has gone from crying after school saying that he hates himself and hates
school, to being happy and confident as he goes off to school in the morning.
(His teachers have told us that he has taken to reciting poetry in front of his
classmates during morning meeting, by choice!)
We are so thankful for the
helpful information you share in your book…it has been life-changing for our
son! We are so grateful to you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
