* Early Learning Book ClubEarly Learning Book Club

Next book selection is Mind in the Making: the Seven Essential Live Skills Every Child Needs by Ellen Galinsky. A book of advice for parent on how to raise their children to be well rounded and achieve their full potential, elping them learn to take on life's challenges, communicate well with others, and remain committed to learning. These are the "essential life skills" that Ellen Galinsky has spent her career pursuing through her own studies and through decades of talking with more than a hundred of the most outstanding researches in child development and neuroscience. The good news is that there are simple everyday things that all parents can do to build these skills in their children for today and for the future. They don't cost money, and it's never too late to begin. If you want a jumpstart on the discussions, there is a Virtual Book Club through the Washington Association for the Education of Young Children (WAEYC) http://www.waeyc.org/mitm.htm We will hold an evening discussion on February 28th.
