Ever wonder what is going on in a baby's brain? Or how you can best nurture a child's natural development? Or why exactly Bach is better than Mozart for babies? This book will explain why. No technical knowledge is necessary, as Shore makes recent neurological findings accessible to all those who come into contact with young children. Everything a baby experiences in his or her first five years is building the foundation of life's learning potential through the formation of neural networks in the brain. Through increasing the complexity of the early childhood environment in developmentally appropriate ways, we can nurture these neural networks. The visionary educational leader must look beyond the traditional boundaries of the K-12 system, and towards the space between the maternity ward and the kindergarten door.

One day Izzy and her friends are surprised to find that their teacher, Miss Jones, is actually being nice to them.

A step-by-step program that shows parents, simply and clearly, how to teach their child to read in just 20 minutes a day.

"My Mommy is a Teacher" tells the story of women who do two very difficult and fulfilling jobs: mother and teacher. Being a mommy-teacher can be a lot to juggle, and this book tells the story of what all these busy ladies accomplish from sun up to sun down. "My Mommy is a Teacher" is part of the "My Mommy Is" series of children's books that help kids understand what their working moms do using fun language and rhymes that children can understand. Written by two working moms who understand the "mom guilt" associated with focusing on both career and motherhood, the series playfully shows what mommy does when she is away from home, while emphasizing her love and devotion to her child.
