I find myself in possession of two copies of Brain Rules for Baby: How to Raise a Smart and Happy Child from 0-5. Amazon describes the book, "Brain Rules for Baby bridges the gap between what scientists know and what parents practice. Through fascinating and funny stories, Medina, a developmental molecular biologist and dad, unravels how a child’s brain develops – and what you can do to optimize it." One copy I plan to devour (and probably blog about). The other I've decided to use as the prize for my very first contest. Just in time for summer reading.
To play--leave a comment in the post below with your advice for raising/teaching smart and happy children.
I'll write all of the commenters names on a slip of paper and pull one from a hat. There's probably a more high tech methodology, but I don't know it and this works--so don't laugh at me.
If you win, I'll contact you for your mailing address. If you lose, you'll still have the benefit of reading all the wise comments below.
The deadline to enter is midnight June 1. Good luck.
