I hope everyone on the list will be inspired by this lecture by Dr. Aleksandra Djukic, M.D., Ph.D. In it, she describes why it is IMPERATIVE our girls and boys get lots of mental stimulation. If you are looking for any kind of justification for the benefits of excellent learning opportunities for our kids, this brain research is unbeatable! This is 9 1/2 minutes very well spent. Be inspired!
