Shaping Youngest Minds
 E-mail this product to a friend
Recommended by School Library Journal
Love boosts brainpower. We now understand that at birth, the brain is very much a work in progress. Human contact helps "grow" the brain. A mother comforting her baby, a father playing peek-a-boo, and a caregiver reading to a child are all shaping youngest minds.
Learn:
• How stories, song and conversation are critical to "growing" a brain.
• Why comforting a crying infant helps teach emotional self-regulation.
• How a loving touch helps shape future human relationships.
• How parental depression can be contagious.
• How attachments to parents, family, and caregivers actually shape youngest minds.
• How experience begins in the womb. A one-pound fetus already has 100 billion brain cells.
Runtime: 24 minutes

Shaking, Hitting, Spanking: What To Do Instead: An infant won't stop crying, a toddler plays with chemicals under the sink, a seven-year-old ignores a call to dinner, an eight-year-old refuses to clean her room -- these four scenarios are each shown twice. At first an angry parent loses control and the video stops for discussion. After discussion, the scenario is shown a second time but with positive parenting skills that change the outcome.

An infant won't stop crying, a toddler plays with chemicals under the sink, a seven-year-old ignores a call to dinner, an eight-year-old refuses to clean her room -- these four scenarios are each shown twice. At first an angry parent loses control and the video stops for discussion. After discussion, the scenario is shown a second time but with positive parenting skills that change the outcome.
- A stressed-out single mother copes with a crying baby at night. Neither a bottle nor a pacifier stops the crying.
- A toddler plays on the kitchen floor. When dad leaves the room he pulls potentially dangerous cleaners from under the sink.
- Michael, a stubborn seven-year-old, rides his bike with friends. When his mother calls him for dinner he refuses.
- Dad is busy building shelves. Eight-year-old Heather would rather watch him work than clean her own room. How can dad "make" Heather clean her room?
Runtime: 30 minutes. Also available in Spanish - "Golpes y Gritos".

The Spanking Controversy: Does spanking work? What does it teach? One parent contends "If it's good enough for my dad, it's good enough for me." Another ardently opposes spanking, believing "If we don't spank dogs to train them, why do we spank our children?" A child development specialist explores the psychology of spanking and suggests discipline strategies such as redirection, natural and logical outcomes, demonstrations, and time out.
