Success is defined in a myriad of ways, but usually it’s defined by each of us 
individually. If we go to college to get a PhD in Psychology and we achieve that goal, then it’s a success; if we grow up wanting to change the world by becoming an elected official and we are a US Senator now, then it’s a success; or if we were poor growing up and swore that one day we’d achieve the American Dream and be able to tell our rags to riches story…that might be one person’s idea of success.
For me, Michael Parness, I just wanted to eat Shrimp. We didn’t have a lot growing up and when we went out to restaurants, which wasn’t often, me and my siblings were usually confined to the side of the menu that didn’t include Shrimp, Lobster or Steak. I swore when I grew up I’d be able to eat as much shrimp as possible. Of course, once I achieved that goal successfully, I then had other dreams and other goals.
Success, after all, is all in the perception. We’ll deal with those issues, and more on – Trend Success.
This week, “Trend Success” takes a look at Early Learning in Child Development.
Tune in to hear what it takes for children to achieve success in early learning…and what we as parents can do to help them along. Michael will be talking to some of the most highly recognized authorities in this area, including Dr. Robert Titzer, who work includes the “Your Baby Can Read” program.
Dr. Titzer, Ph.D., has been a professor, teacher and professional speaker on infant learning for 20 years, and actually taught his own children to read as babies using the fun, multi-sensory approach that he developed. Dr. Titzer?s fascinating research on multi-sensory reading during the infant and toddler years captivated the attention of other researchers, parents, and the media. His work has been published in scientific journals – including the prestigious Psychological Review. He has spoken with U.S. Senators and other leading U.S. Department of Education officials on the importance of early learning. He also works with parents and educators around the world, demonstrating fun learning activities that they can do with infants and toddlers to stimulate and increase brain development.
Also joining Michael will be…Dr. John Oller.
Dr. Oller, is the Hawthorne Regents Professor, Department Of Communicative Disorders, at the University Of Louisianan. His Milestones book on language development has shown theoretically and empirically that development in early childhood, from the womb forward, advances through critical milestones more rapidly than thought possible by earlier scholars. Dr. Oller?s research has shown that unborn babies take steps, scratch, jump, and do many things in the first trimester of fetal development that were formerly thought to be post-birth activities. His most recent book, “Autism,” was just published, and is a landmark work on the diagnosis and treatment of what the Dr. calls “the Undeniable Epidemic.” Dr. Oller is a regular reviewer for commercial publishers, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Education, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, and for scholarly journals in linguistics. He has lectured throughout the world and is a member of the New York Academy Of Sciences.
Rounding out Michael?s “Guest List” is the founder and president of the National Association Fort Child Development, Bob Doman.
Bob is a psychologist, teacher, and researcher, in the areas of child development and education. Prior to founding NACD, Bob?s experience took him from Barcelona, Spain, where he was the Director of a National Association; to La Habra, California, where he was Program Director for “Help For Brain-Injured Children;” to Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, where he established the first NACD Children?s Academy Private School. Since founding the National Association For Child Development, Bob?s mission has been to work with children, their families and professionals, to gather, evaluate and distribute the latest information and procedures relative to human development. Specifically, what is working (and not working) for individuals with labels such as autism, attention deficit disorders, down syndrome, cerebral palsy, brain injury, learning disabilities, gifted, and accelerated. NACD believes in the innate potential of every child. They “work with families and individuals to reach toward their potential. Rather than simply teaching skills and coping mechanisms, NACD informs parents on how to identify and re mediate issues, and empowers parents with information and knowledge so they can assume responsibility for their children?s maximum growth and development.
