I can't say enough about this conversation. I've been thinking about it and bragging about it to people since it happened. Dr. Dana Suskind is such a wealth of knowledge and information. Her book, 'Parent Nation: Unlocking Every Child's Potential, Fulfilling Society's Promise' has inspired and lit a fire in me.
Dr. Suskind discusses how the best way to help our children is to make better investments in parents. Today's parents are doing everything they can to simply stay afloat. In a lot of cases the little things parents should do to help in the development of their child end up getting missed. Essentially, an investment in parents is an investment in the future.
We had a great conversation that went over two different sessions. My mind was blown by some of this information and I hope yours is as well. You can also find out more at parentnation.org
