Ten Tips from Research
January 11, 2007
The best smell is bread; the best savour, salt; the best love, that of children.
-George Herbert

In her article, “Using Early Childhood Brain Research,” in the Beginnings Workshop Book, Curriculum: Brain Research, Math, Science, Nina Sazer O’Donnell included a chart listing ten tips for parents and caregivers based on a research review prepared for Rob Reiner’s “I Am Your Child Campaign.”  Here is a shortened version of the ten tips…

  1. Be warm, loving, and responsive.
  2. Respond to the child’s cues and clues.
  3. Talk, sing, and read to children.
  4. Establish rituals and routines.
  5. Encourage safe exploration and play.
  6. Make television watching selective.
  7. Use discipline as an opportunity to teach.
  8. Recognize that each child is unique.
  9. Choose quality child care and stay involved.
  10. Caregivers need to take care of themselves.

This is great for us teachers, too bad we can't get it across to parents.

In reading these, it struck me that none of these require a bigger budget. They only require a different way of doing and being.

Great list! You do have "choose" in #9 spelled incorrectly, though.
