SynopsisThe founder and director of the Thirty Million Words Initiative, Professor Dana Suskind, explains why the most important--and astoundingly simple--thing you can do for your child's future success in life is to to talk to them. What nurtures the brain to optimum intelligence and stability? It is a secret hiding in plain sight: the most important thing we can do for our children is to have conversations with them. The way you talk with your growing child literally builds his or her brain. Parent talk can drastically improve school readiness and lifelong learning in everything from math to art. Indeed, parent-child talk is a fundamental, critical factor in building grit, self-control, leadership skills, and generosity. It is crucial to making the most in life of the luck you have with your genes. This landmark account of a new scientific perspective describes what works and what doesn't (baby talk is fine; relentless correction isn't). Discover how to create the best "language environments" for children by following the simple structure of the Three Ts: Tune In; Talk More; Take Turns. Dr. Suskind and her colleagues around the country have worked with thousands of families; now their insights and successful, measured approaches are available to all. This is the first book to reveal how and why the first step in nurturing successful lives is talking to children in ways that build their brains. Your family--and our nation--need to know. *Nominated for the Books for a Better Life Award*, The founder and director of the Thirty Million Words Initiative, Professor Dana Suskind, explains why the most important--and astoundingly simple--thing you can do for your child's future success in life is to to talk to them.

    This is an incredible book ! I bought four, but I will buy more as the messages and the knowledge that passes is incredible ! One of my grandson expect the first child in about 2 months. We plan with my German wife and me, Argentine (Spanish) try to see if we can obtain a young kid knowing THREE languages when hi is 3 years old. The lessons of what you have to do with a new born baby and train he/she in the first 3 years are incredible I never saw a book like this ..... in my (only) first 88 years !!!!! Thank you and thanks to the articlle in the Rotarian Magazine that let me know about this....
