It is my great honor to introduce someone who is a hero of mine, a friend of mine. When i first had the opportunity to meet her and most of the seven, eight years ago i told her the story of how my sister when she was in sixth grade played her in a biography in school where they had to pick somebody that they wanted to emulate and research in play for a day.

A lot of things we as parents have taken for granted, the way we raise our kids, there are a lot of parents, the parents that we are trying to reach, that dont have that information. They havent they themselves have not been brought up that way. So they feel like theres nothing i can do. The babies will learn when they go to school at 5 years old. By then its way too late. Thats where the gap, the huge gaps we have, actually theyre finding out that the gaps begin when they are 18 months old. In terms of the number of words. But its not the number of words.
