This is not a scientific read, although knowing the recent discoveries can explain childhood behaviors. This life-changing research is not just for scientists and is available to all. The news is not reporting this valuable information so I hope to share it in an interesting enough way that all people who spend time with kids will have these tools. I believe the knowledge gained by neuroimaging will help young kids to become more understood and help parents enjoy this brief window of opportunity. It's called pa'renting' because you only get little kids for a little while.

Watching the distinctiveness of my four children was the opportunity of a lifetime. I kept a journal for each, simply out of my own curiosity. It served as my record of their unique reactions to life. I did not think it would be of interest to anyone else, but then these journals became each child’s nighttime storybook of choice. Most of the sentences were sloppily written in the midst of chaos, but the specifics captured could only be noticed at that crazy point in time.

I hope you find new ideas that help you enjoy the early childhood years, and I hope you will include in your review one way you found in this book to enjoy children's refreshingly different perspective.
