Politics ParentMap
presents the 2007 Lecture Series!
Dr. Andrew
Meltzoff, Ph.D. and Dr. Patricia Kuhl, Ph.D. are researchers at the
University of Washington and co-founders of UW The Institute for Learning
and Brain Sciences. They are
studying one of the great wonders of humanity: the baby. Their research
has reinforced what every parent knows—that the more you talk and read to
your child—the faster the brain develops language, and they’ve discovered
new information about second language learning and social-emotional
development. Learn what Dr. Kuhl and Dr. Meltzoff have learned about
babies and their brains, and how parents can better understand and nurture
the magical years of babyhood. Tickets for this
event are $18
in advance/$20 at the door.
