At times I've put it into practice, as when my husband and I chose an elementary school for our children that was almost 50/50 black and white, partly because of the racial mix. [...]a few years ago, in fact, my perception of myself was that I was part of the solution on race relations in our community, not part of the problem. By mid-semester, I had a name for what had gone wrong: I had been acting out of \"white privilege,\" or the advantage that comes to me only because I am white. Because why else would I, as a white school leader addressing a problem that affected black children more significantly than white, assume that I a) sufficiently understood the problem and b) could communicate this to black families?

[...] they say, emotional and social development are vital to cognitive learning. Children cannot learn if they're frightened, unhappy, miserable, abused,'' she says. [...] most scientists tend to advise what we've known for years:

Call the center director or family-home caregiver to ask basic questions (about cost, hours, ratios) and to schedule a visit. Options might include arriving for drop-off or pickup 15 minutes early a couple of times a month so you have time to chat with the teacher (this isn't the time for a prolonged conversation); and, once a month, drop in unexpectedly to see your child and spend some time in the room.

Egeland found that a child's relationship with his mother at age 1 predicted whether the child would develop behavior problems and stable relationships later. [...] the child's relationship at age 3I predicted academic achievement even when the child was as old as 16. Because this attachment theory is so well-established by the Minnesota study and others, scientists such as Allan Schore of the University of California, Los Angeles, theorize that developing an attachment actually builds the orbitofrontal cortex of the brain, which helps regulate or control emotions and finishes maturing at about 18 months of age.\\n
