A Child’s world is full of patterns, from the letters and numbers of our language to the stripes of a snake in our garden and learning to discern the opportunities of life from the potential threats is one of our most important, yet overlooked, developmental milestones.

It has been said that this Pattern Recognition, of all our cognitive processes, has the highest correlation with General Intelligence. That means that the more experience a child has with Pattern Recognition the better they are able to adapt to challenges in Mathematics, Reading, Writing, Sports or whatever else life throws at them.

Whether our children aspire to become Doctors, Financial Analysts, Artists or Athletes, advancing in those fields is really just a race to find the right patterns. This is why an early start with Pattern Recognition is critical to childhood development, yet it is too often ignored in traditional education – and that is why we wrote this book.
