Enhancing brain development is easier than it seems. It's not about "teaching" your child, it's about responding to your child.

BOOK DISCUSSION
This semester we will be reading Bringing Up Bébé, by Pamela Druckerman. We will begin our book discussion the week of September 12 will cover the Introduction, french children don't throw food, and Chapters 1 and 2.
Each
chapter in Druckerman’s book presents different concepts. Consider
these questions as she presents her ideas of the French way of
parenting. These questions will be the basis of our discussion each week:
--What
were your ideas of the chapter's concepts before you had a child?
--What
is your reality of this concept, in other words, what do you practice?
--According
to Druckerman, what is the French idea?
--What
is your ideal? And how does that compare to Drukerman's?
--What
help or resources do you need to get to your ideal? Or, how can you affirm what you're already doing?
