Role of parents - Christina - 16-06-2006
There has not been very much discussion on this forum about the role of parents in education and special education.
An interesting study conducted at the University of Bristol discusses parents who themselves have learning difficulties: http://www.bris.ac.uk/news/2006/971.html
Best wishes,

Role of parents - Christina - 01-08-2006
Male primates experience dramatic hormone changes when they become fathers. A recent study by Yevgenia Kozorovitskiy and her colleagues at Princeton University revealed:
"In both first-time and experienced fathers with dependent offspring, the team found structural changes in the prefrontal cortex, a region of the brain important for planning and memory. In these areas the neurons showed signs of enhancement, with a greater number of connections. They also had more receptor sites for the hormone vasopressin."

at the last minute i brought my lap top with me, having just had a quick look to see if any one was saying i was a compleat lune, i felt it was time to say that the biggest part of parents regarded as ok did not know how or what to teach ther own kids, it has to be high time to evolve simple teaching practice of a common nature please do not leave this job to me alone.
NO CHILD SHOULD BE SEPERATED FROM ITS NATURAL PARENTS IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SOME REGULAR CONTACT SHOULD ALWAYS BE MAINTAINED
