To use tabs, please use full web version. I believe the goal of parenting is to give my children the skills to become self-sufficient physically, socially, and spiritually. As I try a new technique I ask myself, is this teaching my child how to make good choices? Is she learning to ask God what the correct choice is? My goal is that my girls will be able to fully function as God's servants and become strong leaders for positive change.

Einstein Never Used Flash Cards
By Hirsh-Pasek & Golinkoff This book has amazing data! It shows child development and the data that backs up their suggested techniques. It even clarifies studies that are often quoted by the media. The techniques are simple to use ways to educate by age. Interesting: a professional family hears 6 affirmations to 1 disapproval, working class hears 2 affirmations to 1 disapproval, and welfare homes hear 1 affirmation to 2 disapproval! Wow! The power of the self-fulfilling prophecy!

Kids who go to an "academic" preschool end up the same academically by 2nd grade as kids who don't, but they end up actually BEHIND socially as kids who did not go to an academic preschool. Wow! Talk about not getting that leg up parents hoped for!
