  chicly

• 0:31

• 0:33
  Very

  cool,
• 0:34

• 0:35
  Today
• 0:35
  is
• 0:36
  actually
• 0:36
  a
• 0:36
  very
• 0:36
  special
• 0:36
  day.
• 0:37
  We're
• 0:37
  gonna
• 0:37
  be
• 0:38
  reviewing
• 0:38
  a
• 0:38
  book
• 0:39
  by
• 0:40
  my
• 0:40
  mom
• 0:41
  called
• 0:41
  Testing
• 0:42
  for
• 0:42
  Kindergarten.
• 0:43
  It's
• 0:44
  honestly,
• 0:45
  I
• 0:46
  was
• 0:46
  like,
• 0:46
  teen,
• 0:46
  I'm
• 0:46
  gonna
• 0:47
  be
• 0:47
  very
• 0:47
  fair
• 0:48
  and
• 0:48
  honest
• 0:48
  about
• 0:48
  your
• 0:48
  book,
• 0:49
  so
• 0:49
  if
• 0:49
  it's
• 0:49
  terrible,
• 0:50
  I'm
• 0:50
  gonna
• 0:50
  say
• 0:50
  so.
• 0:51
  It
• 0:51
  was
• 0:52
  really,
• 0:53
  really
• 0:53
  good.
• 0:54
  Really?
• 0:54
  Yeah.
• 0:55
  Do
• 0:55
  you
• 0:55
  really
• 0:55
  mean
• 0:55
  that?
• 0:56
  I
• 0:56
  mean
• 0:56
  it
• 0:56
  because
• 0:57
  I
• 0:57
  would
• 0:57
  not
• 0:57
  lie
• 0:57
  to
• 0:57
  you.
• 0:58
  Okay.
• 0:58
  Because
• 0:59
  I
• 0:59
  was.
• 1:00
  I
• 1:00
  gave
• 1:00
  this
• 1:00
  to
• 1:00
  you
• 1:00
  a
• 1:01
  while
• 1:01
  back,
• 1:01
  like,
• 1:01
  as
• 1:02
  soon
• 1:02
  as
• 1:02
  you
• 1:02
  got
• 1:02
  pregnant.
• 1:03
  I
• 1:03
  was
• 1:03
  so
• 1:03
  excited
• 1:04
  for
• 1:04
  you
• 1:04
  to
• 1:04
  read
• 1:04
  it,
• 1:05
  and
• 1:05
  then
• 1:05
  I
• 1:05
  saw
• 1:05
  that
• 1:06
  you
• 1:06
  just
• 1:06
  stuck
• 1:06
  it
• 1:06
  in
• 1:07
  your
• 1:07
  bookshelf.
• 1:08
  Well,
• 1:08
  I
• 1:09
  was
• 1:09
  very
• 1:09
  preoccupied
• 1:10
  with
• 1:10
  other
• 1:11
  things.
• 1:12
  Being
• 1:12
  newly
• 1:12
  pregnant,
• 1:13
  reading
• 1:14
  was
• 1:14
  not
• 1:14
  at
• 1:14
  the
• 1:14
  top
• 1:14
  of
• 1:14
  my
• 1:15
  list.
• 1:15
  All
• 1:15
  right,
• 1:15
  all
• 1:16
  right.
• 1:16
  But
• 1:16
  I'm
• 1:17
  so
• 1:17
  happy
• 1:17
  that
• 1:17
  this
• 1:18
  gave
• 1:18
  you
• 1:18
  a
• 1:18
  reason
• 1:18
  to
• 1:19
  read
• 1:19
  it.
• 1:19
  Yes,
• 1:19
  it
• 1:20
  did.
• 1:20
  I
• 1:20
  will
• 1:20
  say,
• 1:20
  though,
• 1:21
  that
• 1:21
  the
• 1:21
  title
• 1:22
  is
• 1:22
  a
• 1:22
  bit
• 1:22
  misleading
• 1:23
  because
• 1:23
  it's
• 1:23
  not
• 1:24
  really
• 1:24
  about
• 1:24
  testing
• 1:24
  for
• 1:25
  kindergarten.
• 1:25
  It's
• 1:26
  about
• 1:26
  all
• 1:26
  of
• 1:26
  these
• 1:26
  things
• 1:27
  that
• 1:27
  you
• 1:27
  can
• 1:27
  do
• 1:27
  with
• 1:27
  your
• 1:27
  kids
• 1:28
  and
• 1:29
  to
• 1:29
  prepare
• 1:29
  them
• 1:30
  not
• 1:30
  just
• 1:30
  for
• 1:31
  school,
• 1:31
  but
• 1:31
  for
• 1:32
  life.
• 1:32
  Right,
• 1:33
  right.
• 1:33
  It
• 1:34
  started
• 1:34
  out
• 1:34
  being
• 1:35
  a
• 1:35
  book
• 1:35
  about
• 1:35
  testing
• 1:36
  for
• 1:36
  kindergarten.
• 1:37
  That
• 1:37
  was
• 1:37
  the
• 1:38
  idea.
• 1:39
  But
• 1:39
  after
• 1:39
  I
• 1:39
  wrote
• 1:40
  it,
• 1:40
  I
• 1:40
  realized,
• 1:41
  oh,
• 1:41
  my
• 1:42
  gosh,
• 1:42
  you
• 1:42
  know,
• 1:42
  everything
• 1:43
  in
• 1:43
  this
• 1:43
  book
• 1:43
  is
• 1:44
  about
• 1:45
  what
• 1:45
  parents
• 1:45
  should
• 1:46
  be
• 1:46
  doing
• 1:46
  in
• 1:46
  the
• 1:46
  first
• 1:47
  five
• 1:47
  years
• 1:47
  of
• 1:47
  life
• 1:48
  to
• 1:49
  get
• 1:49
  their
• 1:49
  children
• 1:50
  ready
• 1:50
  for
• 1:50
  school
• 1:51
  and
• 1:51
  just
• 1:52
  sort
• 1:52
  of
• 1:52
  ready
• 1:52
  to
• 1:52
  soar
• 1:53
  by
• 1:53
  the
• 1:53
  time
• 1:53
  they
• 1:54
  get
• 1:54
  to
• 1:54
  school
• 1:54
  and
• 1:55
  they'll
• 1:55
  do
• 1:55
  well
• 1:55
  on
• 1:55
  tests
• 1:56
  if
• 1:56
  you
• 1:56
  do
• 1:57
  these
• 1:57
  things
• 1:57
  with
• 1:57
  your
• 1:57
  kids.
• 1:58
  But
• 1:59
  I
• 2:00
  guess
• 2:00
  the
• 2:00
  editor
• 2:00
  really
• 2:01
  liked
• 2:01
  the
• 2:01
  title,
• 2:01
  so
• 2:02
  that's
• 2:02
  what
• 2:02
  we
• 2:02
  did.
• 2:03
  Edvarius.
• 2:04
  I
• 2:04
  know
• 2:04
  this
• 2:05
  isn't
• 2:05
  what
• 2:05
  it's
• 2:05
  about,
• 2:05
  but
• 2:05
  this
• 2:06
  is
• 2:06
  what
• 2:06
  we're
• 2:06
  gonna
• 2:06
  call
• 2:06
  it
• 2:06
  anyway.
• 2:07
  Yeah,
• 2:07
  that's
• 2:07
  it.
• 2:08
  Well,
• 2:08
  it
• 2:08
  is
• 2:09
  about
• 2:09
  that
• 2:09
  to
• 2:09
  some
• 2:10
  extent.
• 2:10
  You
• 2:11
  mentioned
• 2:11
  tests,
• 2:12
  like,
• 2:12
  seven
• 2:12
  times.
• 2:13
  Right.
• 2:13
  Well,
• 2:13
  I
• 2:13
  do
• 2:14
  mention
• 2:14
  tests,
• 2:14
  and
• 2:15
  I
• 2:15
  show
• 2:16
  examples
• 2:16
  of
• 2:17
  tests
• 2:17
  that
• 2:17
  they
• 2:18
  give
• 2:18
  to
• 2:19
  young
• 2:19
  children.
• 2:20
  And
• 2:20
  one
• 2:20
  of
• 2:20
  the
• 2:21
  things
• 2:21
  that
• 2:21
  I
• 2:22
  think
• 2:22
  people
• 2:22
  say
• 2:22
  about
• 2:23
  testing
• 2:24
  4
• 2:24
  year
• 2:24
  olds
• 2:25
  is,
• 2:25
  that's
• 2:26
  ridiculous.
• 2:27
  How
• 2:27
  do
• 2:27
  you
• 2:27
  test
• 2:27
  a
• 2:28
  four
• 2:28
  Year
• 2:28
  old.
• 2:29
  They're
• 2:29
  all
• 2:29
  the
• 2:29
  same.
• 2:30
  Right.
• 2:30
  Why
• 2:30
  would
• 2:31
  you
• 2:31
  test
• 2:31
  a
• 2:31
  4
• 2:31
  year
• 2:32
  old?
• 2:32
  And
• 2:33
  in
• 2:33
  places
• 2:33
  like
• 2:34
  New
• 2:34
  York
• 2:35
  and
• 2:35
  actually
• 2:35
  all
• 2:36
  over
• 2:36
  the
• 2:36
  country,
• 2:37
  they
• 2:37
  do
• 2:37
  test
• 2:38
  four
• 2:38
  year
• 2:38
  olds
• 2:39
  to
• 2:39
  get
• 2:39
  into
• 2:39
  gifted
• 2:40
  programs,
• 2:40
  to
• 2:40
  get
• 2:41
  into
• 2:41
  private
• 2:41
  schools.
• 2:42
  So
• 2:42
  they
• 2:42
  do
• 2:42
  do
• 2:43
  that.
• 2:45
  But
• 2:45
  what
• 2:46
  they
• 2:46
  do
• 2:46
  is
• 2:47
  they
• 2:47
  ask
• 2:47
  them
• 2:48
  questions
• 2:49
  and
• 2:49
  that
• 2:49
  get
• 2:49
  to
• 2:50
  whether
• 2:50
  or
• 2:50
  not
• 2:50
  the
• 2:51
  kids
• 2:51
  have
• 2:52
  learned
• 2:52
  what
• 2:52
  they
• 2:53
  should
• 2:53
  be
• 2:53
  learning
• 2:54
  from
• 2:54
  the
• 2:55
  time
• 2:55
  they're
• 2:55
  born
• 2:55
  till
• 2:56
  they're
• 2:56
  five
• 2:56
  years
• 2:56
  old.
• 2:58
  And
• 2:58
  so
• 2:59
  that's
• 2:59
  what
• 2:59
  this
• 2:59
  book
• 3:00
  is
• 3:00
  about
• 3:00
  is
• 3:01
  what
• 3:01
  should
• 3:01
  your
• 3:01
  child
• 3:02
  be
• 3:02
  learning
• 3:02
  in
• 3:02
  the
• 3:02
  first
• 3:03
  five
• 3:03
  years?
• 3:04
  And
• 3:04
  in
• 3:04
  fact,
• 3:05
  it's
• 3:05
  interesting
• 3:05
  because
• 3:06
  children
• 3:06
  learn
• 3:07
  more
• 3:07
  in
• 3:07
  the
• 3:07
  first
• 3:08
  five
• 3:08
  years
• 3:08
  of
• 3:09
  life
• 3:09
  than
• 3:10
  they
• 3:10
  learn
• 3:10
  at
• 3:11
  any
• 3:11
  other
• 3:11
  time
• 3:12
  in
• 3:12
  their
• 3:12
  whole
• 3:12
  life.
• 3:13
  We
• 3:14
  gain
• 3:14
  so
• 3:14
  much.
• 3:14
  We
• 3:15
  come
• 3:15
  into
• 3:15
  this
• 3:15
  world
• 3:16
  pretty
• 3:16
  much
• 3:16
  knowing
• 3:17
  nothing.
• 3:18
  We
• 3:18
  learn
• 3:18
  a
• 3:18
  complete
• 3:19
  language.
• 3:20
  We
• 3:20
  learn.
• 3:21
  We
• 3:21
  have
• 3:21
  gained
• 3:22
  cognitive
• 3:23
  thinking
• 3:23
  skills.
• 3:24
  You
• 3:24
  know,
• 3:24
  we
• 3:25
  gain
• 3:25
  so
• 3:25
  much
• 3:26
  in
• 3:26
  the
• 3:26
  first
• 3:26
  five
• 3:26
  years
• 3:26
  of
• 3:27
  life.
• 3:27
  It's
• 3:28
  crazy.
• 3:28
  It's
• 3:28
  crazy.
• 3:29
  It
• 3:29
  really
• 3:29
  is.
• 3:29
  Yeah.
• 3:30
  So
• 3:31
  that's
• 3:31
  what
• 3:31
  they
• 3:31
  test
• 3:32
  kids
• 3:32
  on
• 3:33
  and,
• 3:33
  and
• 3:34
  they
• 3:34
  make
• 3:34
  them
• 3:34
  pretty
• 3:35
  fun
• 3:35
  for
• 3:35
  kids.
• 3:35
  It's.
• 3:36
  It's
• 3:36
  not
• 3:36
  a
• 3:36
  horrible
• 3:37
  experience.
• 3:37
  It
• 3:37
  doesn't
• 3:38
  sound
• 3:38
  like
• 3:38
  it.
• 3:38
  It
• 3:39
  doesn't.
• 3:39
  No.
• 3:40
  Kids,
• 3:40
  come
• 3:41
  here.
• 3:41
  You
• 3:41
  have
• 3:41
  to
• 3:41
  come
• 3:42
  into
• 3:42
  a
• 3:42
  room.
• 3:42
  With
• 3:42
  a
• 3:42
  stranger
• 3:43
  who's
• 3:43
  going
• 3:43
  to
• 3:43
  judge
• 3:43
  you
• 3:44
  on
• 3:44
  things
• 3:44
  that
• 3:44
  you
• 3:44
  don't
• 3:45
  know.
• 3:45
  Well,
• 3:45
  yeah,
• 3:46
  right.
• 3:47
  But
• 3:47
  I
• 3:47
  tell
• 3:47
  you
• 3:48
  how
• 3:49
  to
• 3:49
  warm
• 3:49
  your
• 3:49
  child
• 3:49
  up
• 3:50
  so
• 3:50
  they'll
• 3:50
  feel
• 3:50
  more
• 3:51
  comfortable.
• 3:51
  One
• 3:51
  line
• 3:52
  that
• 3:52
  was
• 3:52
  so
• 3:52
  funny
• 3:52
  was
• 3:53
  when
• 3:53
  you
• 3:53
  send
• 3:53
  your
• 3:54
  child
• 3:54
  to
• 3:54
  do
• 3:55
  the
• 3:55
  test,
• 3:55
  send
• 3:56
  them
• 3:56
  with
• 3:56
  the
• 3:56
  parent
• 3:56
  that
• 3:57
  they
• 3:57
  separate
• 3:57
  most
• 3:57
  easily
• 3:58
  from.
• 3:58
  And
• 3:59
  I
• 3:59
  was
• 3:59
  like,
• 4:00
  somebody's
• 4:00
  gonna
• 4:00
  get
• 4:01
  hurt
• 4:01
  in
• 4:01
  that
• 4:01
  conversation.
• 4:03
  Well,
• 4:03
  you
• 4:03
  don't
• 4:03
  want
• 4:04
  them
• 4:04
  screaming
• 4:04
  and
• 4:05
  crying
• 4:05
  when
• 4:05
  they
• 4:05
  have
• 4:06
  to
• 4:06
  separate.
• 4:06
  You
• 4:07
  gotta
• 4:07
  be
• 4:07
  strategic.
• 4:07
  Yeah.
• 4:08
  You
• 4:08
  have
• 4:08
  to
• 4:08
  think
• 4:08
  about
• 4:08
  all
• 4:09
  of
• 4:09
  those
• 4:09
  things.
• 4:10
  You
• 4:10
  really
• 4:10
  do.
• 4:11
  So
• 4:11
  this
• 4:11
  book
• 4:11
  came
• 4:11
  about.
• 4:12
  My
• 4:12
  mom
• 4:13
  has
• 4:13
  always
• 4:13
  been
• 4:14
  just
• 4:15
  gone
• 4:15
  so
• 4:15
  far
• 4:15
  above
• 4:15
  and
• 4:16
  beyond.
• 4:16
  I
• 4:16
  got
• 4:17
  asked
• 4:17
  to
• 4:17
  leave
• 4:18
  six
• 4:18
  schools.
• 4:19
  There
• 4:19
  was
• 4:19
  really
• 4:19
  no
• 4:20
  school.
• 4:20
  That
• 4:20
  was
• 4:21
  the
• 4:21
  right
• 4:21
  place
• 4:21
  for
• 4:21
  me
• 4:22
  and
• 4:22
  my
• 4:22
  brother
• 4:23
  when
• 4:24
  he
• 4:24
  was
• 4:24
  really
• 4:24
  little.
• 4:25
  They
• 4:25
  thought
• 4:26
  he
• 4:26
  might
• 4:26
  have
• 4:26
  developmental
• 4:27
  delays.
• 4:28
  And
• 4:29
  my
• 4:29
  mom
• 4:29
  was
• 4:30
  not
• 4:30
  convinced.
• 4:31
  So
• 4:32
  she
• 4:33
  not
• 4:33
  taking
• 4:34
  the
• 4:34
  doctor's
• 4:35
  initial
• 4:35
  diagnosis
• 4:36
  and
• 4:36
  prognosis
• 4:37
  was
• 4:37
  like,
• 4:38
  I
• 4:38
  feel
• 4:38
  like
• 4:38
  there's
• 4:38
  something
• 4:38
  else
• 4:39
  going
• 4:39
  on.
• 4:39
  So
• 4:40
  explain
• 4:41
  what
• 4:41
  I
• 4:41
  was
• 4:41
  going
• 4:41
  to
• 4:41
  say.
• 4:41
  Well,
• 4:42
  I
• 4:42
  was
• 4:42
  going
• 4:42
  to
• 4:42
  say,
• 4:42
  and
• 4:43
  this
• 4:43
  is
• 4:43
  a
• 4:43
  great
• 4:43
  lesson
• 4:44
  for
• 4:44
  all
• 4:44
  parents,
• 4:44
  which
• 4:45
  is
• 4:45
  if
• 4:46
  you
• 4:46
  think
• 4:46
  that
• 4:47
  something
• 4:47
  is
• 4:47
  wrong
• 4:48
  with
• 4:48
  your
• 4:48
  child
• 4:49
  and
• 4:49
  your
• 4:50
  doctor
• 4:50
  says
• 4:50
  to
• 4:51
  you,
• 4:51
  oh
• 4:51
  no,
• 4:52
  they'll
• 4:52
  grow
• 4:52
  out
• 4:53
  of
• 4:53
  it.
• 4:53
  Give
• 4:53
  them
• 4:54
  time.
• 4:54
  But
• 4:55
  you
• 4:55
  know
• 4:55
  in
• 4:55
  your
• 4:55
  heart
• 4:56
  there
• 4:56
  is
• 4:56
  something
• 4:57
  going
• 4:57
  on.
• 4:57
  Because
• 4:58
  like,
• 4:58
  Sam
• 4:59
  wasn't
• 4:59
  speaking
• 5:00
  and
• 5:00
  he
• 5:00
  was
• 5:00
  almost
• 5:01
  three
• 5:01
  Years
• 5:01
  old.
• 5:02
  And
• 5:03
  he
• 5:03
  wasn't
• 5:04
  looking
• 5:04
  at
• 5:04
  me
• 5:04
  when
• 5:04
  I
• 5:04
  was
• 5:05
  talking
• 5:05
  to
• 5:05
  him.
• 5:06
  And
• 5:06
  I
• 5:06
  thought,
• 5:06
  there
• 5:07
  is
• 5:07
  something
• 5:07
  wrong.
• 5:08
  But
• 5:08
  the
• 5:08
  doctor
• 5:08
  kept
• 5:08
  saying,
• 5:09
  no,
• 5:09
  no,
• 5:09
  he's
• 5:09
  fine.
• 5:10
  And
• 5:10
  I
• 5:10
  finally
• 5:11
  just
• 5:11
  said,
• 5:11
  I'm
• 5:12
  taking
• 5:12
  him
• 5:12
  to
• 5:12
  a
• 5:12
  specialist,
• 5:13
  which
• 5:13
  I
• 5:13
  did.
• 5:14
  And
• 5:15
  they
• 5:15
  gave
• 5:15
  him
• 5:15
  all
• 5:16
  these
• 5:16
  tests,
• 5:17
  and
• 5:17
  they
• 5:17
  came
• 5:17
  back
• 5:18
  to
• 5:18
  me.
• 5:18
  And
• 5:18
  the
• 5:18
  doctor
• 5:19
  said,
• 5:19
  well,
• 5:19
  the
• 5:20
  good
• 5:20
  news
• 5:20
  is
• 5:21
  the
• 5:21
  reason
• 5:21
  your
• 5:21
  son
• 5:22
  isn't
• 5:22
  speaking
• 5:22
  is
• 5:23
  because
• 5:23
  he
• 5:23
  can't
• 5:23
  hear,
• 5:24
  and
• 5:25
  we
• 5:25
  can
• 5:26
  fix
• 5:26
  that
• 5:26
  with
• 5:26
  surgery.
• 5:27
  The
• 5:28
  bad
• 5:28
  news
• 5:28
  is
• 5:29
  we
• 5:29
  gave
• 5:29
  him
• 5:29
  an
• 5:29
  IQ
• 5:30
  test,
• 5:30
  and
• 5:30
  he
• 5:30
  scored
• 5:31
  in
• 5:31
  the
• 5:32
  37th
• 5:33
  percentile.
• 5:34
  Your
• 5:34
  son,
• 5:35
  very
• 5:35
  low.
• 5:35
  Very
• 5:36
  low.
• 5:37
  He
• 5:37
  will
• 5:37
  never
• 5:37
  be
• 5:38
  very
• 5:38
  smart.
• 5:38
  He
• 5:39
  will
• 5:39
  always
• 5:39
  need
• 5:39
  special
• 5:40
  education,
• 5:40
  and
• 5:41
  you
• 5:41
  need
• 5:41
  to
• 5:41
  start
• 5:41
  looking
• 5:42
  for
• 5:42
  special
• 5:42
  programs
• 5:43
  for
• 5:43
  him.
• 5:44
  And
• 5:44
  I
• 5:44
  was
• 5:45
  like,
• 5:45
  what?
• 5:45
  I
• 5:46
  mean,
• 5:46
  I
• 5:46
  was
• 5:46
  devastated.
• 5:47
  And
• 5:47
  so
• 5:48
  the
• 5:48
  first
• 5:48
  thing
• 5:48
  I
• 5:49
  did
• 5:49
  was
• 5:49
  I
• 5:49
  called
• 5:49
  grandma,
• 5:50
  and
• 5:51
  I.
• 5:51
  My
• 5:51
  mom
• 5:51
  happened.
• 5:52
  Or
• 5:52
  my
• 5:52
  grandmother
• 5:53
  also
• 5:53
  happened
• 5:53
  to
• 5:54
  be
• 5:54
  an
• 5:54
  early
• 5:54
  childhood
• 5:55
  education
• 5:55
  expert,
• 5:56
  which.
• 5:57
  Very
• 5:57
  convenient.
• 5:58
  Yeah,
• 5:58
  it
• 5:58
  was
• 5:58
  convenient.
• 5:59
  But
• 5:59
  I
• 5:59
  didn't
• 5:59
  call
• 6:00
  her
• 6:00
  for
• 6:00
  that.
• 6:00
  I
• 6:00
  just
• 6:00
  called
• 6:00
  her
• 6:01
  because
• 6:01
  she
• 6:01
  was
• 6:01
  my
• 6:01
  mom.
• 6:01
  And
• 6:02
  I'm
• 6:02
  like,
• 6:02
  mom,
• 6:03
  what
• 6:03
  am
• 6:03
  I
• 6:03
  gonna
• 6:04
  do?
• 6:04
  This
• 6:04
  is
• 6:04
  what
• 6:04
  they're
• 6:05
  telling
• 6:05
  me.
• 6:05
  And
• 6:06
  my
• 6:06
  mom
• 6:06
  said,
• 6:06
  you
• 6:07
  know,
• 6:07
  just
• 6:07
  get
• 6:08
  his
• 6:08
  hearing
• 6:08
  fixed,
• 6:09
  and
• 6:09
  then
• 6:09
  I'll
• 6:10
  show
• 6:10
  you
• 6:10
  how
• 6:10
  smart
• 6:11
  he
• 6:11
  can
• 6:11
  be.
• 6:12
  So
• 6:12
  we
• 6:12
  did.
• 6:12
  We
• 6:13
  got
• 6:13
  his
• 6:13
  hearing
• 6:13
  fixed.
• 6:16
  And
• 6:16
  then.
• 6:17
  My
• 6:17
  mom
• 6:17
  helped
• 6:17
  me
• 6:18
  put
• 6:18
  a
• 6:18
  program
• 6:18
  together
• 6:19
  where
• 6:19
  I
• 6:20
  could
• 6:20
  work
• 6:20
  with
• 6:20
  him
• 6:21
  every
• 6:21
  day
• 6:22
  on
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  things
• 6:23
  he
• 6:23
  would
• 6:23
  need
• 6:24
  so
• 6:24
  that
• 6:24
  he
• 6:25
  could
• 6:25
  score
• 6:25
  higher
• 6:26
  on
• 6:26
  his
• 6:26
  IQ
• 6:27
  test.
• 6:27
  But
• 6:27
  the
• 6:28
  point
• 6:28
  wasn't
• 6:28
  the
• 6:28
  IQ
• 6:29
  test.
• 6:29
  The
• 6:30
  point
• 6:30
  was
• 6:30
  so
• 6:31
  that
• 6:31
  he
• 6:31
  could
• 6:31
  learn
• 6:32
  what
• 6:32
  he
• 6:32
  needed
• 6:32
  to
• 6:33
  learn
• 6:33
  what
• 6:33
  he'd
• 6:33
  been
• 6:33
  missing
• 6:36
  so
• 6:36
  that
• 6:36
  he
• 6:36
  could
• 6:37
  go
• 6:37
  to
• 6:37
  a
• 6:37
  regular
• 6:38
  school,
• 6:38
  which
• 6:38
  is
• 6:39
  what
• 6:39
  we
• 6:39
  hoped
• 6:39
  for
• 6:39
  him.
• 6:40
  So
• 6:41
  what
• 6:41
  I
• 6:41
  did
• 6:42
  was
• 6:43
  he
• 6:43
  loved.
• 6:43
  Do
• 6:43
  you
• 6:43
  remember
• 6:44
  Batman
• 6:44
  and
• 6:44
  Robin?
• 6:45
  And
• 6:45
  he
• 6:45
  loved
• 6:45
  all
• 6:46
  the.
• 6:46
  The
• 6:46
  action
• 6:47
  figures.
• 6:47
  So
• 6:48
  I
• 6:48
  put,
• 6:48
  like,
• 6:48
  all
• 6:48
  his
• 6:49
  action
• 6:49
  figures
• 6:49
  in
• 6:50
  a
• 6:50
  box,
• 6:50
  and
• 6:50
  I
• 6:51
  decorated
• 6:51
  the
• 6:51
  box,
• 6:52
  and
• 6:52
  I
• 6:52
  came
• 6:52
  up
• 6:53
  with
• 6:53
  all
• 6:53
  these
• 6:53
  activities
• 6:54
  I
• 6:54
  could
• 6:54
  do
• 6:54
  with
• 6:55
  him.
• 6:55
  You
• 6:55
  know,
• 6:56
  we
• 6:56
  would
• 6:56
  count
• 6:56
  the
• 6:56
  action
• 6:57
  figures.
• 6:57
  We
• 6:58
  would
• 6:58
  line
• 6:58
  them
• 6:59
  up
• 6:59
  from
• 6:59
  tallest
• 6:59
  to
• 7:00
  shortest.
• 7:00
  We
• 7:00
  would
• 7:01
  divide
• 7:01
  them
• 7:01
  into
• 7:02
  color
• 7:02
  groupings.
• 7:03
  I
• 7:03
  mean,
• 7:03
  we
• 7:03
  did
• 7:04
  all
• 7:04
  kinds
• 7:04
  of
• 7:04
  things.
• 7:04
  And
• 7:05
  he
• 7:05
  was
• 7:05
  learning
• 7:06
  because
• 7:06
  he
• 7:06
  loved
• 7:06
  Batman.
• 7:07
  He
• 7:07
  loved,
• 7:08
  loved
• 7:08
  Batman.
• 7:09
  And
• 7:09
  he.
• 7:09
  And
• 7:10
  so,
• 7:10
  anyway,
• 7:11
  so
• 7:12
  a
• 7:12
  year
• 7:12
  later,
• 7:12
  he
• 7:13
  was
• 7:13
  retested,
• 7:14
  and
• 7:14
  this
• 7:15
  time
• 7:15
  he
• 7:15
  scored
• 7:16
  in
• 7:16
  the
• 7:16
  94th
• 7:17
  percentile.
• 7:18
  So
• 7:18
  we
• 7:18
  turned
• 7:19
  his
• 7:19
  IQ
• 7:19
  around.
• 7:20
  Within
• 7:20
  a
• 7:21
  year,
• 7:21
  he
• 7:21
  got
• 7:22
  into
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  school.
• 7:22
  I
• 7:22
  wanted
• 7:23
  him
• 7:23
  to
• 7:23
  go
• 7:23
  to
• 7:23
  the.
• 7:24
  School
• 7:24
  that
• 7:24
  I
• 7:24
  went
• 7:24
  to
• 7:24
  so
• 7:25
  that
• 7:25
  it
• 7:25
  could
• 7:25
  conveniently
• 7:26
  be
• 7:26
  that
• 7:26
  we
• 7:27
  both
• 7:27
  got
• 7:27
  dropped
• 7:27
  off
• 7:28
  together.
• 7:28
  Right.
• 7:29
  Right
• 7:29
  around
• 7:29
  the
• 7:29
  corner.
• 7:30
  It
• 7:30
  was
• 7:30
  great.
• 7:30
  And
• 7:31
  so
• 7:32
  that's
• 7:32
  what
• 7:32
  happened.
• 7:32
  And
• 7:33
  that's
• 7:33
  when
• 7:33
  I
• 7:33
  learned
• 7:34
  how
• 7:34
  important
• 7:34
  it
• 7:35
  is
• 7:35
  for
• 7:35
  a
• 7:35
  parent
• 7:36
  to
• 7:36
  be
• 7:36
  involved
• 7:37
  in
• 7:37
  working
• 7:38
  with
• 7:38
  their
• 7:38
  child
• 7:39
  at
• 7:39
  a
• 7:39
  very
• 7:39
  young
• 7:39
  age,
• 7:40
  that
• 7:40
  you
• 7:40
  can
• 7:40
  make
• 7:41
  a
• 7:41
  huge
• 7:41
  difference
• 7:42
  in
• 7:42
  their
• 7:42
  intellect.
• 7:44
  And
• 7:44
  I
• 7:44
  remember
• 7:44
  there
• 7:45
  were
• 7:45
  at
• 7:45
  the
• 7:45
  time,
• 7:46
  you
• 7:47
  know,
• 7:47
  the
• 7:47
  psychologists,
• 7:48
  they
• 7:48
  keep
• 7:49
  these
• 7:49
  tests
• 7:49
  very
• 7:50
  secret.
• 7:50
  They
• 7:50
  don't
• 7:51
  want
• 7:51
  anyone
• 7:51
  to
• 7:52
  know
• 7:52
  what's
• 7:52
  on
• 7:52
  them.
• 7:53
  There
• 7:54
  were
• 7:54
  no
• 7:54
  books
• 7:55
  I
• 7:55
  could
• 7:55
  find
• 7:55
  about
• 7:56
  what
• 7:56
  they
• 7:56
  were
• 7:57
  all
• 7:57
  about
• 7:57
  and
• 7:57
  what
• 7:58
  did
• 7:58
  they
• 7:58
  want
• 7:58
  my
• 7:58
  child
• 7:58
  to
• 7:59
  know?
• 7:59
  I
• 7:59
  couldn't
• 8:00
  find
• 8:00
  it.
• 8:01
  I
• 8:01
  mean,
• 8:01
  there
• 8:01
  were
• 8:02
  books
• 8:02
  about
• 8:02
  how
• 8:02
  to
• 8:03
  feed
• 8:03
  your
• 8:03
  child
• 8:03
  so
• 8:04
  they'd
• 8:04
  be
• 8:04
  healthy,
• 8:05
  how
• 8:05
  to
• 8:05
  get
• 8:06
  your
• 8:06
  child
• 8:06
  to
• 8:06
  behave,
• 8:07
  but
• 8:07
  there
• 8:08
  was
• 8:08
  nothing
• 8:08
  about
• 8:11
  brain
• 8:11
  development
• 8:12
  and
• 8:12
  what
• 8:12
  kids
• 8:13
  needed
• 8:13
  to
• 8:13
  learn
• 8:15
  from
• 8:15
  beginning
• 8:15
  to
• 8:16
  end.
• 8:16
  Not
• 8:16
  for
• 8:16
  parents.
• 8:17
  There
• 8:17
  were
• 8:17
  a
• 8:17
  lot
• 8:17
  of
• 8:17
  education
• 8:18
  booklets
• 8:18
  about
• 8:18
  it.
• 8:19
  So
• 8:19
  I
• 8:19
  decided
• 8:20
  I
• 8:20
  had
• 8:20
  to
• 8:21
  put
• 8:21
  down
• 8:21
  what
• 8:21
  I
• 8:21
  had
• 8:22
  learned.
• 8:22
  And
• 8:22
  that's
• 8:23
  when
• 8:23
  I
• 8:23
  wrote
• 8:23
  the
• 8:23
  book.
• 8:24
  Yeah,
• 8:24
  Yeah,
• 8:24
  I
• 8:25
  loved
• 8:25
  it.
• 8:25
  There
• 8:25
  are
• 8:25
  a
• 8:26
  lot
• 8:26
  of
• 8:26
  personal
• 8:26
  anecdotes
• 8:27
  about
• 8:27
  me
• 8:27
  which
• 8:28
  I
• 8:28
  also
• 8:28
  enjoyed.
• 8:29
  Did
• 8:29
  you?
• 8:29
  Yes.
• 8:30
  I
• 8:30
  didn't
• 8:30
  realize
• 8:31
  I
• 8:31
  was
• 8:31
  such
• 8:31
  a
• 8:31
  difficult
• 8:32
  child.
• 8:34
  I
• 8:34
  knew
• 8:34
  I
• 8:34
  was
• 8:34
  a
• 8:35
  difficult,
• 8:35
  difficult
• 8:36
  ish
• 8:36
  teenager
• 8:37
  because
• 8:37
  that's
• 8:37
  really.
• 8:38
  That's
• 8:38
  when
• 8:38
  I
• 8:38
  started
• 8:38
  getting
• 8:39
  kicked
• 8:39
  out
• 8:39
  of
• 8:39
  school
• 8:39
  more
• 8:40
  frequently
• 8:41
  because,
• 8:41
  like
• 8:41
  my
• 8:42
  first
• 8:42
  school,
• 8:42
  I
• 8:42
  lasted
• 8:43
  until
• 8:43
  fifth
• 8:43
  grade,
• 8:44
  which
• 8:44
  was
• 8:44
  the
• 8:44
  longest
• 8:45
  of
• 8:45
  any
• 8:45
  school.
• 8:46
  Right,
• 8:47
  that's
• 8:47
  true,
• 8:47
  you
• 8:48
  did.
• 8:49
  But
• 8:50
  you
• 8:50
  did
• 8:50
  have
• 8:50
  learning
• 8:51
  issues
• 8:51
  that
• 8:52
  didn't
• 8:52
  emerge
• 8:53
  until
• 8:54
  you
• 8:54
  were
• 8:54
  in
• 8:55
  about
• 8:55
  fifth
• 8:55
  grade.
• 8:56
  And
• 8:56
  what's
• 8:57
  interesting,
• 8:58
  and
• 8:58
  I
• 8:58
  wrote
• 8:58
  about
• 8:59
  this
• 8:59
  in
• 8:59
  the
• 8:59
  book,
• 8:59
  is
• 9:00
  that
• 9:00
  you
• 9:00
  did
• 9:01
  get
• 9:01
  an
• 9:01
  IQ
• 9:01
  test
• 9:02
  when
• 9:02
  you
• 9:02
  were
• 9:03
  4.
• 9:04
  And
• 9:05
  when
• 9:06
  you
• 9:06
  got
• 9:06
  the
• 9:06
  test,
• 9:07
  I
• 9:07
  remember
• 9:08
  being
• 9:08
  just
• 9:08
  shocked
• 9:09
  because
• 9:09
  I
• 9:09
  thought
• 9:10
  you
• 9:10
  were
• 9:10
  so
• 9:10
  brilliant.
• 9:11
  I
• 9:11
  was.
• 9:12
  Well,
• 9:12
  to
• 9:12
  me
• 9:13
  you
• 9:13
  were.
• 9:14
  And
• 9:14
  I
• 9:14
  was
• 9:15
  shocked
• 9:15
  because
• 9:15
  you
• 9:15
  came
• 9:16
  back
• 9:16
  with
• 9:16
  an
• 9:16
  average
• 9:17
  iq
• 9:17
  and
• 9:17
  I'm
• 9:18
  like,
• 9:18
  what?
• 9:18
  God
• 9:19
  forbid,
• 9:19
  how
• 9:19
  could
• 9:19
  she
• 9:20
  be
• 9:20
  average?
• 9:20
  This
• 9:21
  is
• 9:21
  a
• 9:21
  brilliant,
• 9:22
  brilliant
• 9:23
  child.
• 9:24
  But
• 9:24
  you
• 9:25
  were
• 9:25
  average.
• 9:25
  And
• 9:26
  for
• 9:26
  a
• 9:26
  minute
• 9:26
  I
• 9:27
  was
• 9:27
  disappointed,
• 9:27
  and
• 9:28
  then
• 9:28
  I
• 9:28
  got
• 9:28
  over
• 9:28
  it.
• 9:30
  We
• 9:30
  can't
• 9:30
  all
• 9:30
  be
• 9:30
  everything.
• 9:31
  I
• 9:31
  was
• 9:31
  also
• 9:31
  adorable.
• 9:32
  Well,
• 9:32
  you
• 9:33
  were
• 9:33
  and
• 9:33
  you
• 9:33
  still
• 9:34
  are.
• 9:34
  But
• 9:34
  anyway,
• 9:35
  the
• 9:35
  point
• 9:35
  is,
• 9:37
  I
• 9:37
  was
• 9:37
  pretty
• 9:38
  shocked
• 9:38
  about
• 9:38
  it.
• 9:39
  But
• 9:39
  what
• 9:39
  I
• 9:39
  later
• 9:40
  learned
• 9:41
  was
• 9:41
  I
• 9:41
  went
• 9:42
  back
• 9:42
  to
• 9:42
  that
• 9:43
  original
• 9:44
  IQ
• 9:44
  test
• 9:45
  and
• 9:45
  all
• 9:46
  they
• 9:46
  had
• 9:46
  done
• 9:46
  was
• 9:46
  given
• 9:47
  me
• 9:47
  the
• 9:47
  average
• 9:47
  score.
• 9:48
  But
• 9:48
  if
• 9:49
  I
• 9:49
  had
• 9:49
  looked
• 9:50
  at
• 9:50
  all
• 9:50
  the
• 9:51
  major
• 9:52
  sub
• 9:52
  tests
• 9:52
  that
• 9:52
  you
• 9:53
  had
• 9:53
  gotten,
• 9:53
  you
• 9:54
  had
• 9:54
  scored
• 9:54
  like,
• 9:55
  you
• 9:55
  know,
• 9:56
  off
• 9:56
  the
• 9:56
  charts
• 9:57
  in
• 9:58
  verbal
• 9:58
  skills,
• 9:59
  which
• 9:59
  you're
• 9:59
  really,
• 10:00
  really
• 10:00
  good
• 10:00
  at.
• 10:01
  But
• 10:01
  in
• 10:01
  nonverbal
• 10:02
  or
• 10:03
  visual
• 10:03
  spatial
• 10:04
  reasoning,
• 10:05
  you
• 10:05
  were
• 10:05
  just
• 10:05
  way
• 10:06
  down.
• 10:06
  I
• 10:07
  mean,
• 10:07
  like
• 10:07
  14th
• 10:08
  percentile.
• 10:09
  So
• 10:09
  it
• 10:09
  averaged
• 10:09
  out.
• 10:10
  You
• 10:10
  had
• 10:10
  an
• 10:11
  average
• 10:11
  graph.
• 10:12
  Well,
• 10:12
  also.
• 10:13
  So
• 10:13
  I'm
• 10:13
  what
• 10:13
  is
• 10:14
  known
• 10:14
  as
• 10:14
  twice
• 10:15
  exceptional.
• 10:15
  That's
• 10:16
  right.
• 10:16
  So
• 10:16
  can
• 10:17
  you
• 10:17
  just
• 10:17
  like
• 10:18
  tell
• 10:18
  our
• 10:18
  listeners
• 10:19
  what
• 10:20
  is
• 10:20
  twice
• 10:20
  exceptional.
• 10:21
  What
• 10:21
  that
• 10:21
  means
• 10:21
  is
• 10:22
  sometimes
• 10:22
  there
• 10:22
  are
• 10:23
  kids
• 10:23
  who
• 10:24
  might
• 10:24
  be
• 10:24
  totally
• 10:25
  gifted
• 10:25
  in
• 10:25
  one
• 10:25
  area,
• 10:26
  but
• 10:26
  they
• 10:26
  have
• 10:27
  learning
• 10:27
  issues
• 10:28
  in
• 10:28
  another
• 10:28
  area.
• 10:29
  I
• 10:29
  could
• 10:30
  have
• 10:30
  figured
• 10:30
  that
• 10:31
  out.
• 10:32
  When
• 10:32
  you
• 10:32
  were
• 10:33
  four
• 10:33
  years
• 10:33
  old,
• 10:33
  I
• 10:33
  could
• 10:34
  have
• 10:34
  been
• 10:34
  looking
• 10:35
  for
• 10:35
  issues
• 10:36
  that
• 10:36
  would
• 10:37
  indicate
• 10:37
  you
• 10:37
  were
• 10:38
  having
• 10:38
  learning
• 10:38
  problems.
• 10:39
  Had
• 10:39
  I
• 10:40
  had
• 10:41
  anybody
• 10:41
  explained
• 10:42
  to
• 10:42
  me,
• 10:43
  look
• 10:43
  at
• 10:43
  the
• 10:43
  sub
• 10:44
  scores,
• 10:44
  and
• 10:45
  if
• 10:45
  there's
• 10:45
  a
• 10:45
  big
• 10:45
  difference
• 10:46
  between,
• 10:47
  you
• 10:47
  know,
• 10:47
  one
• 10:47
  and
• 10:48
  another,
• 10:49
  that
• 10:49
  where
• 10:49
  you're
• 10:49
  really
• 10:50
  low
• 10:50
  might
• 10:51
  indicate
• 10:51
  future
• 10:52
  problems
• 10:52
  ahead.
• 10:53
  And
• 10:53
  I
• 10:54
  could
• 10:54
  have
• 10:54
  worked
• 10:54
  on
• 10:55
  that
• 10:55
  with
• 10:55
  you.
• 10:55
  And
• 10:56
  in
• 10:56
  fact,
• 10:56
  you
• 10:56
  did
• 10:57
  read
• 10:57
  later,
• 10:58
  which
• 10:58
  is
• 10:58
  something
• 10:59
  that
• 10:59
  happens
• 10:59
  to
• 11:00
  kids
• 11:00
  with
• 11:01
  non
• 11:02
  verbal
• 11:02
  learning
• 11:02
  disabilities.
• 11:03
  Because
• 11:03
  visual
• 11:03
  spatial
• 11:04
  has
• 11:04
  to
• 11:04
  do
• 11:04
  with
• 11:05
  reading
• 11:05
  and
• 11:05
  interpreting
• 11:06
  shapes.
• 11:07
  It
• 11:07
  has
• 11:07
  to
• 11:08
  do.
• 11:08
  And
• 11:08
  all
• 11:08
  letters
• 11:09
  are
• 11:09
  just
• 11:09
  a
• 11:09
  bunch
• 11:09
  of
• 11:10
  shapes
• 11:10
  squished
• 11:11
  together.
• 11:11
  Exactly.
• 11:12
  It
• 11:12
  affects
• 11:13
  my
• 11:13
  ability
• 11:13
  to
• 11:13
  understand
• 11:14
  graphs
• 11:15
  and
• 11:16
  geometry
• 11:17
  and
• 11:17
  really
• 11:18
  anything.
• 11:18
  Geography.
• 11:19
  Geography.
• 11:20
  Anything
• 11:20
  visual.
• 11:22
  Your
• 11:22
  organizational
• 11:23
  skills.
• 11:23
  Yeah.
• 11:23
  I
• 11:24
  also
• 11:24
  struggle,
• 11:25
  and
• 11:26
  I
• 11:26
  dealt
• 11:26
  with
• 11:26
  this
• 11:26
  a
• 11:26
  lot
• 11:27
  in
• 11:28
  theater,
• 11:29
  is
• 11:29
  being
• 11:30
  in
• 11:30
  the
• 11:30
  right
• 11:30
  place
• 11:31
  on
• 11:31
  stage,
• 11:32
  physically.
• 11:32
  I
• 11:33
  was
• 11:34
  constantly
• 11:34
  losing
• 11:34
  my
• 11:35
  light.
• 11:35
  Right,
• 11:36
  right.
• 11:36
  No,
• 11:37
  exactly.
• 11:38
  And
• 11:39
  that's
• 11:39
  right.
• 11:40
  And
• 11:40
  I
• 11:40
  have
• 11:40
  visual
• 11:41
  spatial
• 11:41
  reasoning
• 11:41
  problems,
• 11:42
  too.
• 11:42
  I
• 11:42
  always
• 11:43
  have
• 11:43
  as
• 11:43
  well.
• 11:43
  I
• 11:44
  get
• 11:44
  lost
• 11:44
  all
• 11:44
  the
• 11:44
  time
• 11:47
  and
• 11:47
  I'm
• 11:47
  very
• 11:47
  disorganized.
• 11:48
  So
• 11:48
  you
• 11:49
  probably
• 11:49
  got
• 11:49
  it
• 11:49
  from
• 11:49
  me
• 11:51
  and
• 11:52
  you
• 11:52
  got
• 11:52
  your
• 11:53
  ADHD
• 11:53
  from
• 11:54
  me
• 11:54
  too.
• 11:55
  So
• 11:55
  those
• 11:55
  are
• 11:55
  some
• 11:55
  gifts
• 11:56
  I
• 11:56
  gave
• 11:56
  you.
• 11:56
  Thank
• 11:57
  you
• 11:57
  so
• 11:57
  much.
• 11:57
  You're
• 11:57
  welcome.
• 11:59
  But
• 11:59
  anyway.
• 12:00
  But
• 12:00
  the
• 12:00
  point
• 12:01
  being
• 12:01
  is
• 12:01
  that
• 12:02
  if
• 12:02
  you
• 12:03
  ever
• 12:03
  get
• 12:03
  a
• 12:03
  young
• 12:04
  child
• 12:04
  tested,
• 12:05
  you
• 12:05
  must
• 12:05
  look
• 12:06
  at
• 12:06
  the
• 12:06
  breakdown
• 12:07
  of
• 12:07
  the
• 12:07
  scores
• 12:08
  and
• 12:08
  you
• 12:09
  can
• 12:09
  see,
• 12:09
  you
• 12:10
  know,
• 12:10
  where
• 12:10
  is
• 12:10
  your
• 12:10
  child
• 12:11
  really
• 12:11
  strong?
• 12:12
  Maybe
• 12:12
  they're
• 12:12
  weak
• 12:13
  in
• 12:13
  some
• 12:13
  areas.
• 12:14
  Again,
• 12:14
  I
• 12:14
  didn't
• 12:15
  know
• 12:15
  that.
• 12:15
  Nobody
• 12:16
  explained
• 12:16
  it
• 12:16
  to
• 12:17
  me.
• 12:18
  Also,
• 12:18
  don't
• 12:19
  assume
• 12:19
  that
• 12:20
  an
• 12:20
  issue
• 12:20
  is
• 12:20
  developmental.
• 12:21
  It
• 12:22
  might
• 12:22
  be
• 12:22
  physiological.
• 12:23
  You
• 12:23
  just
• 12:24
  might
• 12:24
  need
• 12:24
  to
• 12:24
  investigate
• 12:25
  a
• 12:25
  little
• 12:25
  bit
• 12:25
  more
• 12:25
  and
• 12:26
  get
• 12:26
  curious
• 12:26
  about.
• 12:27
  Okay.
• 12:27
  If
• 12:28
  my
• 12:28
  child
• 12:28
  isn't
• 12:29
  looking
• 12:29
  at
• 12:30
  me
• 12:30
  or
• 12:30
  listening
• 12:31
  to
• 12:31
  me,
• 12:32
  maybe
• 12:32
  it's
• 12:33
  not
• 12:33
  an
• 12:33
  immediate
• 12:34
  diagnosis
• 12:35
  of
• 12:35
  something
• 12:35
  on
• 12:36
  the
• 12:36
  spectrum,
• 12:36
  but
• 12:37
  maybe
• 12:37
  he
• 12:37
  just
• 12:37
  can't
• 12:38
  hear.
• 12:38
  Right.
• 12:38
  And
• 12:38
  that's
• 12:39
  what
• 12:39
  happened.
• 12:39
  And
• 12:39
  my
• 12:39
  brother
• 12:40
  is
• 12:41
  one
• 12:41
  of
• 12:41
  the
• 12:42
  smartest
• 12:43
  people
• 12:44
  I've
• 12:44
  ever
• 12:45
  met.
• 12:45
  Right.
• 12:46
  Like
• 12:46
  gifted.
• 12:47
  Truly
• 12:48
  gifted,
• 12:48
  especially
• 12:49
  with
• 12:49
  sports
• 12:50
  and
• 12:50
  stats.
• 12:50
  And
• 12:51
  he's
• 12:51
  made
• 12:52
  a
• 12:52
  whole
• 12:52
  career,
• 12:53
  a
• 12:53
  huge
• 12:53
  career
• 12:54
  out
• 12:54
  of
• 12:54
  this
• 12:55
  thing
• 12:55
  that
• 12:55
  he
• 12:55
  is
• 12:55
  obsessed
• 12:56
  with,
• 12:56
  which
• 12:56
  we
• 12:56
  talk
• 12:56
  about
• 12:57
  later
• 12:57
  in
• 12:57
  the
• 12:57
  book
• 12:57
  about
• 12:58
  following
• 12:58
  your
• 12:58
  child's
• 12:59
  passions
• 12:59
  and
• 13:00
  not
• 13:00
  trying
• 13:01
  to
• 13:01
  dictate
• 13:01
  what
• 13:02
  it
• 13:02
  is
• 13:02
  that
• 13:02
  they're
• 13:02
  interested
• 13:03
  in,
• 13:03
  but
• 13:03
  really
• 13:04
  nurture
• 13:04
  the
• 13:05
  things
• 13:05
  they
• 13:05
  find
• 13:05
  that
• 13:06
  they
• 13:06
  love.
• 13:06
  Yeah.
• 13:07
  So
• 13:07
  anyway,
• 13:08
  so
• 13:08
  that's
• 13:08
  kind
• 13:08
  of
• 13:09
  what
• 13:09
  brought
• 13:09
  this
• 13:09
  book
• 13:09
  about.
• 13:10
  And
• 13:11
  this
• 13:11
  was
• 13:11
  what,
• 13:11
  your
• 13:12
  sixth
• 13:12
  book
• 13:12
  that
• 13:12
  you
• 13:13
  wrote?
• 13:14
  I
• 13:14
  don't
• 13:14
  remember.
• 13:15
  Fifth
• 13:15
  maybe.
• 13:15
  I
• 13:15
  don't
• 13:16
  know.
• 13:16
  It's
• 13:16
  insane.
• 13:17
  I've
• 13:17
  written
• 13:17
  one
• 13:18
  manuscript,
• 13:18
  it
• 13:18
  took
• 13:19
  me
• 13:19
  five
• 13:19
  years.
• 13:20
  The
• 13:20
  first

  New

  York

  Yeah,

• 13:26
  months.

  Three

  months.
• 13:27
  Excuse

  And

  Right,

  Because

  I

  was

  But
• 13:38
  anyway,
• 13:39
  that's
• 13:39
  another

  But

  no

• 14:06
  on
• 14:07
  these
• 14:07
  tests
• 14:08
  and
• 14:08
  I

  will

  say
• 14:09
  just

  to
• 14:10
  help
• 14:10
  people
• 14:10
  understand
• 14:11
  is
• 14:12
  that
• 14:12
  when
• 14:12
  kids
• 14:12
  are
• 14:12
  tested
• 14:13
  for
• 14:13
  gifted
• 14:13
  programs
• 14:14
  or
• 14:14
  private
• 14:14
  schools,
• 14:15
  what
• 14:15
  they're
• 14:15
  going
• 14:16
  to
• 14:16
  get
• 14:16
  is
• 14:16
  a
• 14:16
  cognitive
• 14:17
  test.
• 14:18
  What
• 14:19
  that
• 14:19
  means
• 14:19
  is
• 14:20
  they're
• 14:20
  looking
• 14:20
  at
• 14:20
  their
• 14:21
  thinking
• 14:21
  abilities,
• 14:22
  not
• 14:23
  what
• 14:23
  they
• 14:23
  learn
• 14:24
  in
• 14:24
  school.
• 14:24
  It's
• 14:24
  not
• 14:25
  a
• 14:25
  math
• 14:25
  test,
• 14:25
  it's
• 14:26
  not
• 14:26
  an
• 14:27
  English
• 14:27
  test
• 14:28
  or
• 14:28
  anything
• 14:28
  about
• 14:28
  the
• 14:29
  processes.
• 14:30
  Yeah,
• 14:30
  it's
• 14:30
  about
• 14:30
  how
• 14:30
  you
• 14:31
  think
• 14:31
  and
• 14:32
  reason
• 14:32
  and
• 14:32
  your

  memory
• 14:34
  and,
• 14:35
  and
• 14:35
  which
• 14:36
  we'll
• 14:36
  talk
• 14:36
  about.
• 14:37
  But
• 14:38
  anyway,
• 14:38
  so
• 14:39
  I
• 14:39
  do
• 14:39
  show
• 14:39
  you
• 14:39
  examples
• 14:40
  of
• 14:40
  the
• 14:40
  test
• 14:40
  which
• 14:41

• 14:41
  don't
• 14:42
  look
• 14:42
  fun,
• 14:42
  but
• 14:43
  I
• 14:43
  skipped
• 14:44
  those.
• 14:44
  Well,
• 14:45
  they're
• 14:45
  in
• 14:45
  color.
• 14:45
  The
• 14:45
  pictures
• 14:46
  are
• 14:46
  in
• 14:46
  color.
• 14:46
  Not
• 14:47
  in
• 14:47
  my.
• 14:47
  Well,
• 14:47
  not
• 14:48
  in
• 14:48
  the
• 14:48
  book.
• 14:48
  Not
• 14:49
  in
• 14:49
  the
• 14:49
  book.
• 14:49
  But
• 14:50
  in
• 14:50
  the
• 14:50
  real
• 14:50
  test
• 14:51
  they're
• 14:51
  actually,
• 14:51
  they're
• 14:52
  in
• 14:52
  color,
• 14:52
  they're,
• 14:52
  they're
• 14:53
  fun.
• 14:53
  I
• 14:53
  was
• 14:53
  subjected
• 14:54
  to
• 14:54
  so
• 14:55
  many
• 14:55
  of
• 14:55
  these
• 14:55
  tests
• 14:56
  as
• 14:56
  a
• 14:56
  child
• 14:56
  because
• 14:57
  people,
• 14:58
  once
• 14:58
  I
• 14:58
  started
• 14:59
  misbehaving,
• 15:01
  people
• 15:01
  were
• 15:01
  obsessed
• 15:02
  with
• 15:03
  trying
• 15:03
  to
• 15:03
  figure
• 15:03
  out
• 15:04
  what
• 15:04
  was
• 15:04
  wrong
• 15:04
  with
• 15:04
  me.
• 15:05
  And
• 15:05
  I
• 15:05
  think
• 15:06
  it
• 15:06
  was
• 15:06
  because
• 15:06
  I
• 15:06
  was
• 15:06
  twice
• 15:07
  exceptional
• 15:07
  because
• 15:08
  I
• 15:08
  was
• 15:08
  so
• 15:08
  social
• 15:09
  and
• 15:09
  I
• 15:09
  could
• 15:09
  communicate
• 15:10
  well.
• 15:11
  But
• 15:11
  I
• 15:11
  would
• 15:11
  then
• 15:12
  act
• 15:12
  out
• 15:12
  in
• 15:12
  these
• 15:13
  ways
• 15:13
  that
• 15:13
  people
• 15:13
  were
• 15:14
  like,
• 15:14
  is
• 15:14
  she,
• 15:15
  does
• 15:15
  she
• 15:16
  have
• 15:16
  like
• 15:16
  split
• 15:16
  personality
• 15:17
  problems?
• 15:17
  Like
• 15:18
  who
• 15:18
  is
• 15:18
  this
• 15:18
  child
• 15:19
  I
• 15:19
  see
• 15:19
  in
• 15:19
  the
• 15:19
  morning
• 15:20
  and
• 15:20
  who
• 15:20
  is
• 15:20
  this
• 15:20
  child
• 15:20
  I
• 15:21
  meet
• 15:21
  in
• 15:21
  the
• 15:21
  afternoon?
• 15:22
  Well,
• 15:22
  with
• 15:23
  twice
• 15:23
  exceptional
• 15:24
  kids
• 15:24
  you'll
• 15:24
  often
• 15:25
  get,
• 15:25
  you
• 15:25
  know,
• 15:25
  this
• 15:26
  child
• 15:26
  is
• 15:27
  so
• 15:27
  bright
• 15:27
  but
• 15:28
  lazy,
• 15:29
  you
• 15:29
  know,
• 15:29
  because
• 15:29
  they
• 15:30
  don't
• 15:30
  understand
• 15:31
  that
• 15:31
  work
• 15:31
  smart,
• 15:32
  not
• 15:32
  hard.
• 15:33
  Well,
• 15:33
  they
• 15:33
  don't
• 15:33
  understand
• 15:34
  what's
• 15:34
  holding
• 15:35
  you
• 15:35
  back
• 15:36
  and
• 15:36
  you
• 15:36
  really
• 15:36
  had
• 15:37
  things
• 15:37
  holding
• 15:37
  you
• 15:37
  back.
• 15:38
  And
• 15:38
  so
• 15:39
  it
• 15:39
  is
• 15:39
  hard
• 15:40
  to
• 15:40
  get
• 15:40
  to
• 15:40
  the
• 15:40
  bottom
• 15:41
  of
• 15:41
  it.
• 15:41
  But
• 15:41
  yeah,
• 15:42
  you
• 15:42
  also
• 15:42
  as
• 15:42
  a
• 15:43
  child,
• 15:44
  especially
• 15:44
  when
• 15:45
  you're
• 15:45
  in
• 15:45
  an
• 15:45
  academic
• 15:46
  environment
• 15:46
  that
• 15:46
  isn't
• 15:47
  supportive
• 15:47
  of
• 15:48
  the
• 15:48
  way
• 15:48
  that
• 15:48
  you
• 15:48
  learn,
• 15:49
  you
• 15:49
  spend
• 15:49
  a
• 15:50
  lot
• 15:50
  of
• 15:50
  time
• 15:50
  covering,
• 15:51
  and
• 15:52
  it's
• 15:52
  really
• 15:52
  exhausting
• 15:54
  because
• 15:54
  you're
• 15:54
  trying
• 15:54
  to
• 15:54
  pretend
• 15:55
  that
• 15:55
  you
• 15:55
  are
• 15:56
  absorbing
• 15:57
  the
• 15:57
  information
• 15:58
  so
• 15:58
  that
• 15:58
  your
• 15:58
  teachers
• 15:59
  and
• 15:59
  the
• 15:59
  kids
• 15:59
  around
• 16:00
  you
• 16:00
  don't
• 16:01
  think
• 16:01
  you're
• 16:01
  an
• 16:01
  idiot.
• 16:02
  But
• 16:02
  really,
• 16:02
  it's
• 16:03
  like.
• 16:04
  It's
• 16:04
  like
• 16:05
  you
• 16:05
  black
• 16:05
  out.
• 16:06
  Right.
• 16:06
  You
• 16:06
  don't
• 16:07
  even
• 16:07
  know
• 16:07
  what's.
• 16:07
  I
• 16:08
  agree
• 16:08
  with
• 16:08
  that.
• 16:09
  But
• 16:09
  girls
• 16:10
  cover,
• 16:10
  boys
• 16:11
  act
• 16:11
  out.
• 16:12
  So
• 16:12
  boys.
• 16:12
  I
• 16:12
  did
• 16:13
  both.
• 16:13
  Well,
• 16:13
  yeah,
• 16:14
  you
• 16:14
  did
• 16:14
  both.
• 16:14
  But.
• 16:15
  But
• 16:15
  usually
• 16:15
  it's
• 16:16
  more
• 16:16
  boys
• 16:16
  acting
• 16:17
  out,
• 16:18
  girls
• 16:18
  covering,
• 16:19
  and
• 16:20
  that.
• 16:20
  That
• 16:20
  tends
• 16:21
  to
• 16:21
  be
• 16:21
  what
• 16:21
  happens,
• 16:22
  which
• 16:22
  is
• 16:22
  why
• 16:22
  boys
• 16:23
  can
• 16:23
  get
• 16:23
  diagnosed
• 16:24
  more
• 16:24
  quickly
• 16:25
  and
• 16:25
  easily
• 16:26
  than
• 16:26
  girls,
• 16:27
  because
• 16:27
  girls
• 16:27
  are
• 16:27
  covering.
• 16:28
  They
• 16:28
  tend
• 16:29
  to
• 16:29
  do
• 16:29
  that.
• 16:30
  And
• 16:30
  you
• 16:30
  did
• 16:30
  that.
• 16:31
  I
• 16:31
  think
• 16:31
  the
• 16:31
  reason
• 16:32
  that
• 16:32
  we
• 16:32
  figured
• 16:33
  out
• 16:33
  what
• 16:33
  was
• 16:33
  going
• 16:33
  on
• 16:34
  with
• 16:34
  you
• 16:35
  is
• 16:35
  my
• 16:35
  mom,
• 16:36
  grandma
• 16:37
  went
• 16:37
  into
• 16:37
  the
• 16:37
  classroom
• 16:38
  one
• 16:38
  day
• 16:38
  and
• 16:38
  observed
• 16:39
  the
• 16:39
  class
• 16:40
  and
• 16:40
  observed
• 16:40
  you.
• 16:41
  And
• 16:41
  she
• 16:41
  came
• 16:42
  back
• 16:42
  and
• 16:42
  she
• 16:42
  said,
• 16:42
  skylar
• 16:43
  doesn't
• 16:43
  talk
• 16:44
  in
• 16:44
  class.
• 16:45
  She
• 16:45
  zones
• 16:45
  out.
• 16:46
  There's
• 16:47
  something
• 16:47
  going
• 16:47
  on.
• 16:47
  Because
• 16:48
  I
• 16:48
  love
• 16:48
  to
• 16:48
  talk.
• 16:49
  I
• 16:49
  know.
• 16:50
  She's
• 16:50
  like,
• 16:50
  what's
• 16:51
  wrong
• 16:51
  with
• 16:51
  this
• 16:52
  girl?
• 16:52
  Yeah.
• 16:53
  And
• 16:53
  that's
• 16:53
  how
• 16:53
  we
• 16:54
  said,
• 16:54
  oh,
• 16:54
  we
• 16:55
  better
• 16:55
  get
• 16:55
  her
• 16:55
  tested.
• 16:56
  Yeah,
• 16:56
  again.
• 16:57
  Again.
• 16:57
  And
• 16:58
  that's
• 17:00
  the
• 17:00
  amount
• 17:00
  of
• 17:01
  stale,
• 17:02
  musty
• 17:02
  psychologists
• 17:03
  offices
• 17:04
  I
• 17:04
  have
• 17:04
  seen.
• 17:05
  Yeah.
• 17:06
  And
• 17:06
  the
• 17:06
  problem.
• 17:07
  A
• 17:07
  lot
• 17:07
  of
• 17:07
  the
• 17:07
  problem
• 17:07
  with
• 17:08
  the
• 17:09
  psychological
• 17:10
  testing
• 17:10
  is
• 17:11
  the
• 17:11
  reports
• 17:12
  that
• 17:12
  they
• 17:12
  give
• 17:13
  are
• 17:13
  horrendous.
• 17:14
  They
• 17:14
  don't
• 17:15
  explain
• 17:15
  anything
• 17:16
  to
• 17:16
  parents.
• 17:17
  You
• 17:17
  read
• 17:17
  the
• 17:17
  report,
• 17:18
  you
• 17:18
  do
• 17:18
  not
• 17:19
  understand
• 17:19
  what
• 17:20
  they're
• 17:20
  talking
• 17:20
  about.
• 17:20
  It
• 17:20
  also
• 17:21
  sets
• 17:21
  it
• 17:21
  in
• 17:21
  stone
• 17:22
  for
• 17:22
  the
• 17:22
  school,
• 17:23
  so
• 17:23
  it
• 17:23
  determines
• 17:24
  the
• 17:24
  way
• 17:24
  the
• 17:24
  school
• 17:25
  will
• 17:25
  or
• 17:25
  won't
• 17:25
  support
• 17:26
  you
• 17:26
  going
• 17:27
  forward.
• 17:28
  Also,
• 17:28
  this
• 17:28
  idea,
• 17:29
  the
• 17:29
  big
• 17:29
  thing
• 17:29
  when
• 17:29
  I
• 17:29
  was
• 17:30
  a
• 17:30
  kid
• 17:30
  was
• 17:30
  extra
• 17:30
  time.
• 17:31
  Kids
• 17:31
  with
• 17:31
  ADHD
• 17:32
  need
• 17:32
  extra
• 17:33
  time.
• 17:33
  No,
• 17:33
  I
• 17:34
  did
• 17:34
  not.
• 17:34
  Yeah.
• 17:35
  To
• 17:35
  sit
• 17:35
  there
• 17:36
  longer
• 17:37
  and
• 17:37
  do
• 17:38
  even
• 17:38
  less.
• 17:38
  Yeah.
• 17:39
  Time
• 17:39
  is
• 17:40
  not
• 17:40
  what
• 17:40
  I
• 17:40
  needed.
• 17:41
  Right.
• 17:41
  And
• 17:41
  that's
• 17:42
  so
• 17:42
  common
• 17:42
  with
• 17:43
  any
• 17:43
  diagnosis
• 17:44
  that
• 17:45
  they
• 17:45
  always
• 17:45
  say,
• 17:45
  give
• 17:46
  the
• 17:46
  child
• 17:46
  extra
• 17:47
  time.
• 17:48
  That
• 17:48
  is
• 17:48
  often
• 17:49
  not
• 17:50
  what
• 17:50
  the
• 17:50
  child
• 17:50
  needs.
• 17:52
  It's
• 17:52
  so
• 17:52
  hard.
• 17:52
  And
• 17:53
  I
• 17:53
  think,
• 17:53
  as
• 17:53
  a
• 17:53
  parent,
• 17:54
  you
• 17:54
  really
• 17:54
  need
• 17:54
  to
• 17:55
  understand
• 17:55
  what's
• 17:55
  going
• 17:56
  on
• 17:56
  with
• 17:56
  your
• 17:56
  child,
• 17:57
  and
• 17:57
  you
• 17:57
  really
• 17:58
  need
• 17:58
  to
• 17:58
  go
• 17:58
  in
• 17:58
  and
• 17:58
  advocate,
• 17:59
  Which
• 17:59
  I
• 17:59
  did
• 18:00
  all
• 18:00
  the
• 18:01
  time.
• 18:01
  I
• 18:01
  was
• 18:01
  always
• 18:02
  trying
• 18:02
  to
• 18:02
  do
• 18:02
  it,
• 18:02
  but
• 18:03
  it
• 18:03
  was
• 18:03
  very
• 18:03
  hard
• 18:03
  to
• 18:03
  get
• 18:04
  the
• 18:04
  teachers
• 18:04
  to
• 18:04
  understand.
• 18:04
  Well,
• 18:05
  teachers
• 18:05
  also
• 18:05
  think
• 18:06
  they
• 18:06
  know
• 18:06
  everything,
• 18:07
  and
• 18:08
  I
• 18:08
  understand
• 18:08
  both
• 18:09
  sides.
• 18:09
  I
• 18:09
  imagine
• 18:10
  being
• 18:10
  a
• 18:10
  teacher,
• 18:10
  you
• 18:11
  probably
• 18:11
  deal
• 18:11
  with
• 18:12
  a
• 18:12
  ton
• 18:12
  of
• 18:12
  parents
• 18:13
  who
• 18:13
  are
• 18:13
  like,
• 18:14
  you
• 18:14
  don't
• 18:14
  know
• 18:14
  my
• 18:14
  child.
• 18:15
  It's
• 18:15
  like,
• 18:15
  well,
• 18:15
  I
• 18:15
  spend
• 18:16
  more
• 18:16
  time
• 18:16
  with
• 18:16
  your
• 18:16
  child
• 18:17
  than
• 18:17
  you
• 18:17
  do,
• 18:18
  first
• 18:18
  of
• 18:18
  all.
• 18:19
  But
• 18:19
  also
• 18:19
  it's
• 18:20
  like,
• 18:20
  give
• 18:20
  parents
• 18:21
  Some
• 18:21
  credit,
• 18:21
  like
• 18:22
  occasionally
• 18:24
  they
• 18:24
  might
• 18:24
  be
• 18:24
  correct
• 18:25
  or
• 18:25
  they
• 18:25
  might
• 18:25
  just
• 18:25
  have
• 18:26
  something
• 18:26
  to
• 18:26
  offer.
• 18:26
  Like,
• 18:27
  that
• 18:27
  is
• 18:28
  worth
• 18:28
  knowing.
• 18:29
  Absolutely.
• 18:30
  Yeah.
• 18:30
  I
• 18:30
  can
• 18:31
  remember
• 18:31
  just,
• 18:32
  you
• 18:32
  know,
• 18:32
  sitting
• 18:33
  down
• 18:33
  with
• 18:33
  your
• 18:33
  teachers
• 18:33
  and
• 18:34
  explaining
• 18:34
  your
• 18:34
  visual
• 18:35
  spatial
• 18:35
  reasoning
• 18:36
  issues
• 18:36
  and
• 18:37
  saying
• 18:37
  why
• 18:38
  you
• 18:38
  can't
• 18:39
  go
• 18:39
  from
• 18:40
  a
• 18:40
  test
• 18:40
  to
• 18:41
  a
• 18:41
  bubble
• 18:41
  sheet
• 18:42
  because
• 18:42
  that's
• 18:42
  visual
• 18:43
  spatial.
• 18:44
  And
• 18:44
  I
• 18:44
  went
• 18:44
  through
• 18:45
  the
• 18:45
  whole
• 18:45
  thing
• 18:45
  and
• 18:46
  how,
• 18:46
  you
• 18:46
  know,
• 18:47
  extra
• 18:47
  time
• 18:47
  wasn't
• 18:48
  what
• 18:48
  you
• 18:48
  needed,
• 18:48
  but
• 18:48
  you
• 18:49
  needed
• 18:49
  someone
• 18:49
  to
• 18:51
  let
• 18:51
  you
• 18:51
  take
• 18:51
  the
• 18:51
  test
• 18:52
  on
• 18:52
  the
• 18:52
  test
• 18:53
  document
• 18:54
  and
• 18:55
  then
• 18:55
  put
• 18:55
  the
• 18:56
  bubbles
• 18:56
  in
• 18:57
  for
• 18:57
  you.
• 18:57
  So
• 18:57
  annoying,
• 18:58
  I'm
• 18:58
  sure,
• 18:59
  for
• 18:59
  everyone
• 18:59
  involved.
• 19:00
  No,
• 19:00
  but
• 19:00
  the
• 19:00
  teacher
• 19:01
  was
• 19:01
  like,
• 19:01
  yeah,
• 19:02
  but
• 19:02
  she
• 19:02
  can't
• 19:02
  take
• 19:02
  a
• 19:02
  test
• 19:03
  after
• 19:03
  I
• 19:03
  went
• 19:04
  through
• 19:04
  the
• 19:04
  whole
• 19:04
  thing.
• 19:04
  No,
• 19:05
  but
• 19:05
  she
• 19:05
  can.
• 19:05
  This
• 19:05
  is
• 19:06
  how
• 19:06
  you
• 19:06
  can't
• 19:06
  just.
• 19:07
  You're
• 19:07
  not
• 19:07
  doing
• 19:07
  it
• 19:08
  right
• 19:08
  for
• 19:08
  her.
• 19:08
  Anyway.
• 19:09
  It's,
• 19:10
  it's.
• 19:10
  You
• 19:10
  really
• 19:10
  do
• 19:10
  have
• 19:11
  to
• 19:11
  advocate
• 19:11
  for
• 19:11
  your
• 19:12
  kids.
• 19:12
  But
• 19:13
  let
• 19:13
  me
• 19:13
  talk
• 19:13
  about,
• 19:14
  like,
• 19:14
  what
• 19:14
  the
• 19:15
  seven
• 19:15
  abilities
• 19:16
  are
• 19:17
  that
• 19:17
  kids
• 19:18
  need
• 19:18
  to
• 19:19
  learn,
• 19:19
  you
• 19:20
  know,
• 19:20
  from
• 19:20
  birth
• 19:21
  to
• 19:21
  five,
• 19:22
  what
• 19:22
  you,
• 19:22
  what
• 19:22
  you're
• 19:23
  working
• 19:23
  on
• 19:23
  so
• 19:23
  we
• 19:23
  can
• 19:23
  talk
• 19:24
  about
• 19:24
  some
• 19:24
  of
• 19:24
  the
• 19:24
  things
• 19:24
  you
• 19:24
  can
• 19:25
  do.
• 19:25
  So
• 19:25
  starting
• 19:26
  with
• 19:26
  language,
• 19:27
  that's
• 19:27
  the
• 19:27
  first
• 19:28
  thing.
• 19:28
  It's
• 19:29
  receptive
• 19:30
  language,
• 19:30
  just
• 19:31
  understanding
• 19:32
  what
• 19:32
  people
• 19:32
  are
• 19:33
  saying
• 19:33
  to
• 19:33
  you.
• 19:34
  And
• 19:34
  expressive
• 19:35
  language,
• 19:35
  which
• 19:36
  is
• 19:37
  getting
• 19:37
  the
• 19:37
  child
• 19:37
  to
• 19:38
  talk
• 19:38
  and
• 19:38
  speak
• 19:39
  and
• 19:39
  express
• 19:39
  themselves.
• 19:41
  And
• 19:41
  that
• 19:41
  gets
• 19:42
  into
• 19:42
  things
• 19:42
  like
• 19:42
  following
• 19:43
  directions,
• 19:44
  answering
• 19:44
  questions.
• 19:45
  Reading
• 19:45
  is
• 19:45
  good
• 19:46
  for
• 19:46
  this.
• 19:47
  Reading
• 19:47
  to
• 19:47
  your
• 19:47
  child,
• 19:48
  critical
• 19:49
  talking
• 19:50
  to
• 19:50
  your
• 19:50
  child.
• 19:50
  And
• 19:51
  we'll
• 19:51
  get
• 19:51
  into
• 19:51
  lots
• 19:52
  of
• 19:52
  those
• 19:52
  things,
• 19:52
  but
• 19:52
  language
• 19:53
  is
• 19:53
  the
• 19:53
  first.
• 19:54
  The
• 19:54
  second
• 19:55
  is
• 19:55
  knowledge
• 19:55
  and
• 19:56
  comprehension.
• 19:56
  Just
• 19:57
  learning
• 19:57
  about
• 19:57
  the
• 19:58
  world
• 19:58
  around
• 19:58
  you,
• 19:59
  learning
• 20:00
  what
• 20:00
  a
• 20:00
  dog
• 20:00
  is,
• 20:01
  learning
• 20:01
  what
• 20:02
  a
• 20:03
  house
• 20:03
  is,
• 20:04
  but
• 20:04
  then
• 20:05
  also
• 20:05
  learning
• 20:05
  certain
• 20:07
  abstract
• 20:07
  concepts.
• 20:08
  Like
• 20:09
  I
• 20:09
  feel
• 20:10
  sad.
• 20:11
  You
• 20:11
  know,
• 20:11
  that's
• 20:12
  where
• 20:12
  I'm
• 20:12
  happy.
• 20:12
  I
• 20:13
  feel
• 20:13
  sad.
• 20:15
  Those
• 20:15
  are
• 20:15
  not,
• 20:16
  you
• 20:16
  know,
• 20:16
  nouns.
• 20:17
  Those
• 20:17
  are
• 20:18
  feelings.
• 20:19
  But
• 20:19
  that
• 20:19
  you.
• 20:20
  But
• 20:20
  I
• 20:20
  never
• 20:20
  thought
• 20:21
  of
• 20:21
  feelings
• 20:21
  as
• 20:21
  abstract,
• 20:22
  but
• 20:22
  they
• 20:22
  are,
• 20:23
  you
• 20:23
  know,
• 20:23
  and.
• 20:23
  A
• 20:24
  child,
• 20:24
  by
• 20:24
  the
• 20:24
  time
• 20:25
  they're
• 20:26
  five,
• 20:26
  they
• 20:26
  understand
• 20:27
  so
• 20:27
  much
• 20:27
  about
• 20:28
  feelings.
• 20:28
  You
• 20:29
  know,
• 20:29
  memory
• 20:30
  is
• 20:30
  a
• 20:30
  big
• 20:31
  one.
• 20:31
  Short
• 20:32
  term
• 20:32
  memory,
• 20:32
  what
• 20:33
  you
• 20:33
  just
• 20:33
  learned,
• 20:34
  saw
• 20:34
  or
• 20:34
  heard.
• 20:35
  We
• 20:35
  don't
• 20:35
  have
• 20:35
  that.
• 20:36
  Yeah,
• 20:36
  I
• 20:36
  struggle
• 20:36
  with
• 20:37
  that.
• 20:37
  When
• 20:37
  people
• 20:38
  introduce
• 20:38
  themselves
• 20:39
  to
• 20:39
  me,
• 20:39
  it's
• 20:39
  as
• 20:39
  if
• 20:40
  they
• 20:40
  just
• 20:41
  are
• 20:41
  silent
• 20:41
  when
• 20:41
  they
• 20:41
  say
• 20:42
  their
• 20:42
  names.
• 20:43
  I'm
• 20:43
  just
• 20:43
  like,
• 20:44
  yeah,
• 20:45
  well,
• 20:45
  but
• 20:45
  if
• 20:45
  you
• 20:46
  know
• 20:46
  that,
• 20:46
  you
• 20:47
  have
• 20:47
  to
• 20:47
  try
• 20:47
  to
• 20:47
  come
• 20:47
  up
• 20:48
  with
• 20:48
  ways.
• 20:48
  Yeah,
• 20:48
  it's
• 20:49
  like,
• 20:49
  oh,
• 20:49
  Miriam,
• 20:51
  like
• 20:52
  Miriam.
• 20:53
  Like,
• 20:53
  like
• 20:54
  your
• 20:54
  great
• 20:54
  grandmother's
• 20:55
  name
• 20:55
  was
• 20:55
  Miriam.
• 20:55
  Oh,
• 20:56
  I
• 20:56
  didn't,
• 20:57
  Yeah,
• 20:57
  I
• 20:57
  didn't
• 20:58
  know
• 20:58
  her
• 20:58
  name
• 20:58
  was
• 20:58
  Miriam.
• 20:58
  Yeah,
• 20:59
  that's
• 20:59
  her
• 20:59
  real
• 20:59
  name.
• 20:59
  Oh,
• 21:00
  well,
• 21:00
  but
• 21:01
  anyway,
• 21:01
  the.
• 21:01
  But
• 21:01
  you
• 21:02
  have.
• 21:02
  But
• 21:03
  when
• 21:03
  you
• 21:03
  know
• 21:03
  that
• 21:03
  you
• 21:04
  don't.
• 21:05
  And
• 21:05
  I
• 21:05
  don't
• 21:05
  either.
• 21:06
  I
• 21:06
  can't
• 21:06
  remember
• 21:06
  anybody's
• 21:07
  name,
• 21:07
  so.
• 21:07
  But
• 21:08
  there's
• 21:08
  short
• 21:08
  term
• 21:08
  memory,
• 21:09
  there's
• 21:09
  long
• 21:09
  term
• 21:10
  memory,
• 21:10
  what
• 21:10
  you
• 21:10
  learned
• 21:11
  long
• 21:11
  ago,
• 21:11
  being
• 21:12
  able
• 21:12
  to
• 21:12
  pull
• 21:12
  it
• 21:12
  up.
• 21:13
  There's
• 21:13
  working
• 21:14
  memory.
• 21:14
  I
• 21:14
  love
• 21:14
  long
• 21:14
  term
• 21:15
  memory
• 21:15
  because
• 21:15
  I
• 21:15
  can
• 21:15
  hold
• 21:16
  a
• 21:16
  grudge.
• 21:16
  Oh,
• 21:17
  really?
• 21:18
  I
• 21:19
  remember.
• 21:19
  So
• 21:20
  you
• 21:20
  remember
• 21:20
  everything?
• 21:21
  Every
• 21:21
  slight.
• 21:22
  Every
• 21:22
  slight.
• 21:22
  Okay.
• 21:23
  Got
• 21:23
  a
• 21:23
  bank
• 21:23
  in
• 21:24
  my
• 21:24
  mind.
• 21:25
  That's
• 21:25
  right.
• 21:26
  Well,
• 21:26
  and
• 21:26
  then
• 21:26
  there's
• 21:26
  your
• 21:27
  working
• 21:27
  memory,
• 21:27
  which
• 21:28
  is
• 21:28
  very
• 21:29
  important
• 21:29
  for
• 21:29
  school.
• 21:30
  That's
• 21:30
  where
• 21:30
  you
• 21:31
  get
• 21:31
  a
• 21:31
  piece
• 21:31
  of
• 21:31
  information,
• 21:32
  you
• 21:32
  have
• 21:33
  to
• 21:33
  manipulate
• 21:33
  it,
• 21:34
  do
• 21:34
  something
• 21:34
  with
• 21:34
  it,
• 21:36
  and
• 21:36
  then
• 21:37
  come
• 21:38
  up
• 21:38
  with
• 21:38
  something
• 21:38
  else.
• 21:39
  So
• 21:39
  that's
• 21:39
  like
• 21:40
  doing
• 21:40
  a
• 21:40
  long
• 21:41
  division
• 21:41
  problem
• 21:42
  where
• 21:42
  you
• 21:42
  have
• 21:42
  to
• 21:42
  remember
• 21:43
  where
• 21:43
  you
• 21:43
  are
• 21:44
  in
• 21:44
  all
• 21:44
  your
• 21:44
  steps
• 21:46

  question
• 21:49
  on

  an

  English
• 21:50
  test
• 21:50
  where
• 21:50
  you
• 21:51
  read
• 21:51
  something
• 21:51
  and
• 21:52
  then
• 21:52
  you
• 21:52
  have
• 21:52
  to
• 21:52
  answer
• 21:53
  a
• 21:53
  question
• 21:53
  about
• 21:54
  it.
• 21:54
  So,
• 21:55
  you
• 21:55
  know,
• 21:55
  that's.
• 21:56
  That's
• 21:56
  working
• 21:57
  memory.
• 21:57
  Then
• 21:58
  there's
• 21:58
  math,
• 21:59
  which
• 21:59
  is
• 21:59
  both
• 22:00
  computational
• 22:01
  and
• 22:02
  also
• 22:03
  reasoning
• 22:04
  skills
• 22:04
  around
• 22:04
  math
• 22:05
  and
• 22:05
  reasoning.
• 22:06
  Math
• 22:06
  is
• 22:06
  things
• 22:07
  like
• 22:07
  sequencing,
• 22:08
  patterning,
• 22:09
  classifying,
• 22:10
  comparing,
• 22:11
  ordering,
• 22:11
  that
• 22:11
  kind
• 22:12
  of
• 22:12
  thing.
• 22:12
  Visual
• 22:13
  spatial
• 22:13
  reasoning,
• 22:14
  which
• 22:14
  is
• 22:14
  what
• 22:15
  you
• 22:15
  and
• 22:15
  I
• 22:15
  both
• 22:15
  struggle
• 22:16
  with.
• 22:17
  Shapes
• 22:17
  and
• 22:17
  figures.
• 22:18
  Reasoning
• 22:18
  with
• 22:18
  shapes
• 22:19
  and
• 22:19
  figures
• 22:19
  instead
• 22:20
  of
• 22:20
  words.
• 22:21
  And
• 22:21
  you
• 22:22
  need
• 22:22
  that
• 22:22
  for
• 22:22
  geometry,
• 22:23
  geography,
• 22:25
  writing,
• 22:26
  numbers,
• 22:26
  all
• 22:26
  that
• 22:27
  cognitive.
• 22:28
  That's
• 22:28
  your
• 22:28
  thinking
• 22:29
  skills.
• 22:30
  Analyzing,
• 22:31
  reasoning,
• 22:32
  sequencing,
• 22:33
  conceptual
• 22:34

  concepts,
• 22:37
  problem
• 22:37
  solving.
• 22:38
  All
• 22:39
  of
• 22:39
  that
• 22:39
  is
• 22:40
  cognitive.
• 22:41
  And
• 22:41
  then
• 22:41
  motor
• 22:42
  skills,
• 22:42
  and
• 22:43
  those
• 22:43
  are
• 22:43
  just
• 22:43
  things
• 22:44
  that
• 22:45
  you
• 22:45
  do.
• 22:45
  Fine
• 22:46
  motor
• 22:46
  skills
• 22:46
  are
• 22:47
  the
• 22:47
  things
• 22:47
  like
• 22:47
  cutting,
• 22:48
  writing
• 22:49
  with
• 22:49
  a
• 22:49
  crayon.
• 22:50
  That's
• 22:51
  actually
• 22:51
  a
• 22:51
  subset
• 22:52
  of.
• 22:52
  Of
• 22:53
  anyway,
• 22:54
  technical.
• 22:55
  But
• 22:56
  yeah,
• 22:56
  things
• 22:56
  that.
• 22:57
  That
• 22:57
  small.
• 22:57
  Right.
• 22:58
  Small
• 22:59
  movements
• 22:59
  with
• 22:59
  your
• 22:59
  hands
• 23:00
  versus
• 23:01
  gross
• 23:02
  motor.
• 23:02
  Knitting.
• 23:03
  Knitting
• 23:04
  would
• 23:04
  be.
• 23:05
  I
• 23:05
  think
• 23:05
  it
• 23:06
  would
• 23:06
  be
• 23:06
  a
• 23:06
  fine.
• 23:06
  Yeah,
• 23:06
  those
• 23:07
  are
• 23:07
  small
• 23:07
  movements,
• 23:07
  small
• 23:08
  movements
• 23:08
  with
• 23:08
  your
• 23:08
  hands.
• 23:09
  Not
• 23:09
  that
• 23:09
  I
• 23:10
  knit.
• 23:10
  Not
• 23:10
  that
• 23:10
  I
• 23:10
  know
• 23:10
  anything
• 23:11
  about
• 23:11
  knitting.
• 23:12
  No,
• 23:13
  I
• 23:13
  don't
• 23:13
  think.
• 23:13
  I've
• 23:14
  never
• 23:14
  seen
• 23:14
  you
• 23:14
  knit.
• 23:15
  No.
• 23:15
  But
• 23:16
  you
• 23:16
  know,
• 23:16
  gross
• 23:17
  motor
• 23:17
  skills
• 23:18
  would
• 23:18
  be
• 23:18
  skipping
• 23:18
  and
• 23:19
  jumping
• 23:19
  and
• 23:19
  hopping
• 23:20
  and.
• 23:20
  That
• 23:20
  kind
• 23:20
  of
• 23:21
  thing.
• 23:21
  Yeah.
• 23:22
  Yeah.
• 23:22
  So
• 23:23
  anyway,
• 23:24
  those
• 23:24
  are
• 23:24
  the
• 23:25
  things
• 23:25
  that
• 23:25
  these
• 23:26
  tests
• 23:26
  are
• 23:27
  going
• 23:27
  to
• 23:27
  be
• 23:27
  looking
• 23:27
  for.
• 23:28
  Okay.
• 23:28
  Okay.
• 23:29
  So
• 23:29
  and
• 23:29
  then
• 23:30
  in
• 23:30
  the
• 23:30
  book,
• 23:30
  you
• 23:30
  get
• 23:31
  examples
• 23:31
  of
• 23:32
  what
• 23:32
  those
• 23:32
  test
• 23:32
  questions
• 23:33
  even
• 23:33
  look
• 23:33
  like.
• 23:34
  Yeah.
• 23:35
  So.
• 23:35
  And
• 23:36
  I
• 23:36
  will
• 23:36
  say
• 23:37
  I
• 23:37
  wrote
• 23:37
  this
• 23:37
  book
• 23:37
  about
• 23:38
  15
• 23:38
  years
• 23:38
  ago.
• 23:39
  Some
• 23:40
  of
• 23:40
  the
• 23:40
  tests
• 23:40
  have
• 23:40
  been
• 23:41
  updated
• 23:41
  that
• 23:42
  I
• 23:42
  talk
• 23:42
  about,
• 23:43
  but
• 23:43
  they
• 23:44
  are
• 23:44
  essentially
• 23:45
  the
• 23:45
  same
• 23:46
  in
• 23:46
  terms
• 23:46
  of.
• 23:46
  I
• 23:47
  mean,
• 23:47
  the
• 23:47
  questions
• 23:47
  might
• 23:48
  be
• 23:48
  different,
• 23:48
  but
• 23:49
  they
• 23:49
  are
• 23:49
  assessing
• 23:50
  the
• 23:50
  same
• 23:50
  thing.
• 23:50
  Yeah.
• 23:51
  So
• 23:51
  the
• 23:52
  fact
• 23:52
  that
• 23:52
  they've
• 23:52
  been
• 23:52
  updated
• 23:53
  doesn't
• 23:53
  really
• 23:53
  matter.
• 23:54
  Yeah.
• 23:54
  Yeah.
• 23:54
  There
• 23:55
  you
• 23:55
  go.
• 23:55
  Yeah,
• 23:55
  so
• 23:56
  there
• 23:56
  you
• 23:56
  go.
• 23:57
  All
• 23:58
  right.
• 23:58
  So
• 23:59
  then
• 23:59
  the
• 23:59
  second
• 24:00
  part
• 24:00
  of
• 24:00
  the.
• 24:01
  The
• 24:01
  book
• 24:01
  is
• 24:02
  all
• 24:02
  about
• 24:03
  my
• 24:03
  favorite
• 24:03
  part.
• 24:04
  Is
• 24:04
  that
• 24:04
  your
• 24:04
  favorite?
• 24:04
  Yes.
• 24:05
  Okay.
• 24:05
  So
• 24:05
  that's
• 24:06
  how
• 24:06
  this
• 24:06
  part
• 24:06
  is
• 24:07
  about
• 24:07
  preparing
• 24:07
  your
• 24:08
  child
• 24:08
  to
• 24:08
  do
• 24:08
  well
• 24:09
  on
• 24:09
  a
• 24:09
  test,
• 24:10
  but
• 24:10
  also
• 24:10
  in
• 24:10
  their
• 24:11
  life.
• 24:11
  Yeah.
• 24:11
  So
• 24:12
  just
• 24:12
  remember.
• 24:13
  Yeah.
• 24:14
  If
• 24:14
  there's
• 24:14
  a
• 24:14
  test
• 24:15
  coming
• 24:15
  up,
• 24:15
  this
• 24:15
  is
• 24:15
  a
• 24:16
  great
• 24:16
  book
• 24:16
  to
• 24:16
  help
• 24:16
  you
• 24:16
  prepare.
• 24:18
  But
• 24:20
  even
• 24:20
  if
• 24:20
  there's
• 24:20
  no
• 24:20
  test
• 24:20
  coming
• 24:21
  up,
• 24:21
  if
• 24:21
  you
• 24:21
  want
• 24:22
  your
• 24:22
  child
• 24:22
  to
• 24:22
  be
• 24:22
  ready
• 24:22
  for
• 24:23
  kindergarten,
• 24:24
  great
• 24:24
  stuff
• 24:25
  to
• 24:25
  do.
• 24:25
  So
• 24:25
  they
• 24:26
  are
• 24:26
  ready.
• 24:26
  Yeah.
• 24:27
  And
• 24:27
  I
• 24:27
  like
• 24:27
  that
• 24:28
  you
• 24:28
  turned
• 24:29
  it
• 24:29
  into
• 24:29
  something
• 24:29
  where
• 24:30
  it
• 24:30
  was
• 24:30
  like,
• 24:30
  this
• 24:30
  is
• 24:30
  not
• 24:31
  stuff
• 24:31
  that
• 24:31
  takes
• 24:31
  extra
• 24:32
  time.
• 24:32
  When
• 24:32
  you
• 24:33
  are
• 24:33
  reading
• 24:33
  to
• 24:33
  your
• 24:33
  child,
• 24:33
  when
• 24:34
  you
• 24:34
  are
• 24:34
  walking
• 24:34
  with
• 24:34
  your
• 24:35
  child,
• 24:35
  when
• 24:35
  you
• 24:35
  are
• 24:35
  going
• 24:35
  to
• 24:36
  do
• 24:36
  the
• 24:36
  things
• 24:36
  you're
• 24:36
  already
• 24:36
  doing
• 24:37
  with
• 24:37
  your
• 24:37
  child,
• 24:38
  these
• 24:38
  are
• 24:38
  the
• 24:38
  ways
• 24:38
  to
• 24:39
  enhance.
• 24:40
  Yes.
• 24:40
  Those
• 24:40
  activities.
• 24:41
  Yes,
• 24:42
  exactly.
• 24:43
  Exactly.
• 24:43
  So
• 24:44
  it's,
• 24:44
  it's
• 24:44
  all.
• 24:45
  It's
• 24:46
  really
• 24:46
  not
• 24:46
  extra
• 24:47
  optimization.
• 24:48
  That's
• 24:48
  right.
• 24:48
  And
• 24:49
  actually
• 24:49
  I
• 24:49
  forgot
• 24:49
  there's
• 24:50
  a
• 24:50
  story
• 24:50
  I
• 24:50
  wanted
• 24:50
  to
• 24:51
  tell
• 24:51
  which
• 24:51
  was,
• 24:53
  I
• 24:53
  think
• 24:54
  this
• 24:54
  was
• 24:54
  like
• 24:54
  the
• 24:54
  real,
• 24:55
  real
• 24:55
  impetus
• 24:56
  for
• 24:56
  me
• 24:57
  in
• 24:58
  saying
• 24:58
  I
• 24:58
  must
• 24:58
  put
• 24:59
  this
• 24:59
  down
• 24:59
  in
• 24:59
  writing
• 25:00
  for
• 25:00
  people.
• 25:00
  When
• 25:01
  you
• 25:01
  were
• 25:01
  like
• 25:03
  three
• 25:03
  years
• 25:04
  old,
• 25:04
  one
• 25:05
  night
• 25:05
  we
• 25:05
  were
• 25:05
  sitting
• 25:06
  in
• 25:06
  your
• 25:06
  room
• 25:06
  and
• 25:06
  I
• 25:07
  used
• 25:07
  to
• 25:07
  play
• 25:07
  with
• 25:07
  you
• 25:07
  every
• 25:08
  night
• 25:09
  and
• 25:09
  we
• 25:09
  would
• 25:10
  do
• 25:10
  different
• 25:10
  things.
• 25:11
  And
• 25:11
  one
• 25:11
  night
• 25:11
  you
• 25:12
  were
• 25:12
  stringing
• 25:13
  these
• 25:13
  big
• 25:13
  wooden
• 25:14
  beads.
• 25:14
  And
• 25:15
  I
• 25:15
  remember
• 25:15
  I
• 25:16
  was
• 25:16
  sitting
• 25:16
  there,
• 25:16
  they
• 25:16
  were
• 25:16
  different
• 25:17
  colors
• 25:17
  and
• 25:17
  different
• 25:18
  shapes.
• 25:19
  And
• 25:19
  I
• 25:19
  was
• 25:19
  thinking
• 25:20
  to
• 25:20
  myself,
• 25:21
  you
• 25:22
  know
• 25:22
  what
• 25:22
  drives
• 25:22
  me
• 25:23
  crazy
• 25:23
  about
• 25:24
  schools?
• 25:24
  When
• 25:25
  they're
• 25:25
  testing
• 25:25
  kids
• 25:26
  for
• 25:26
  gifted
• 25:26
  programs
• 25:27
  or
• 25:27
  private
• 25:27
  school
• 25:28
  admissions
• 25:28
  and
• 25:28
  they
• 25:29
  say,
• 25:29
  relax,
• 25:30
  don't
• 25:31
  prepare
• 25:31
  them,
• 25:31
  just
• 25:32
  leave
• 25:32
  it
• 25:32
  to
• 25:32
  chance.
• 25:33
  Are
• 25:33
  they
• 25:34
  crazy?
• 25:35
  Would

• 26:23
  that
• 26:23
  really
• 26:23
  matter.
• 26:24
  And
• 26:25
  I
• 26:25
  was
• 26:25
  thinking
• 26:25
  to
• 26:25
  myself,
• 26:26
  should
• 26:27
  I
• 26:27
  teach
• 26:27
  her
• 26:27
  how
• 26:28
  to
• 26:28
  make
• 26:28
  a
• 26:28
  pattern?
• 26:29
  And
• 26:29
  then
• 26:30
  I
• 26:30
  thought,
• 26:30
  well,
• 26:30
  wait,
• 26:31
  is
• 26:31
  that
• 26:31
  my
• 26:31
  job
• 26:32
  or
• 26:33
  should
• 26:33
  I
• 26:33
  let
• 26:33
  the
• 26:34
  schools
• 26:35
  do
• 26:35
  that?
• 26:35
  Is
• 26:35
  that
• 26:35
  something?
• 26:36
  Should
• 26:36
  I
• 26:36
  wait
• 26:36
  for
• 26:36
  schools
• 26:37
  to
• 26:37
  teach
• 26:37
  her
• 26:37
  or
• 26:38
  do
• 26:38
  I
• 26:38
  teach
• 26:38
  her?
• 26:39
  And
• 26:39
  I
• 26:39
  just
• 26:40
  thought,
• 26:40
  I
• 26:40
  don't
• 26:40
  know,
• 26:41
  maybe
• 26:41
  I'm
• 26:42
  not
• 26:42
  supposed
• 26:42
  to
• 26:42
  teach
• 26:43
  anything.
• 26:43
  Maybe
• 26:43
  I'M
• 26:44
  supposed
• 26:44
  to
• 26:44
  wait
• 26:44
  for
• 26:44
  school.
• 26:45
  I
• 26:45
  just
• 26:45
  had
• 26:45
  no
• 26:46
  idea.
• 26:47
  And
• 26:47
  even
• 26:47
  if
• 26:47
  I
• 26:47
  did
• 26:48
  have
• 26:48
  an
• 26:48
  idea,
• 26:48
  like,
• 26:48
  okay,
• 26:49
  I
• 26:49
  could
• 26:49
  teach
• 26:49
  you,
• 26:49
  I
• 26:49
  would
• 26:50
  have
• 26:50
  no
• 26:50
  idea
• 26:50
  what
• 26:51
  exactly
• 26:51
  to
• 26:51
  teach
• 26:52
  you.
• 26:52
  Should
• 26:52
  I
• 26:52
  be
• 26:53
  trying
• 26:53
  to
• 26:53
  teach
• 26:53
  you
• 26:53
  to
• 26:53
  read?
• 26:54
  Well,
• 26:54
  actually
• 26:55
  no,
• 26:55
  I
• 26:55
  shouldn't
• 26:55
  have
• 26:56
  been,
• 26:56
  but
• 26:57
  that
• 26:57
  wouldn't
• 26:57
  have
• 26:58
  been
• 26:58
  a
• 26:58
  good
• 26:58
  idea.
• 26:59
  But
• 27:00
  I
• 27:00
  didn't
• 27:00
  know.
• 27:01
  And
• 27:01
  so
• 27:02
  I
• 27:02
  thought,
• 27:02
  okay,
• 27:03
  let
• 27:03
  me
• 27:03
  show
• 27:03
  people
• 27:04
  what
• 27:04
  they
• 27:05
  can
• 27:05
  do
• 27:05
  and
• 27:06
  should
• 27:06
  do
• 27:06
  in
• 27:07
  the
• 27:07
  course
• 27:07
  of
• 27:07
  every
• 27:07
  day,
• 27:08
  what's
• 27:08
  useful.
• 27:08
  Yeah,
• 27:09
  yeah,
• 27:09
  exactly.
• 27:10
  So
• 27:11
  what
• 27:11
  can
• 27:11
  you
• 27:11
  do?
• 27:11
  Don't
• 27:11
  stress
• 27:12
  yourself
• 27:12
  out
• 27:12
  trying
• 27:12
  to
• 27:12
  teach
• 27:13
  your
• 27:13
  kid
• 27:13
  to
• 27:13
  read.
• 27:14
  No,
• 27:14
  don't
• 27:14
  do
• 27:14
  that.
• 27:14
  You
• 27:15
  don't
• 27:15
  have
• 27:15
  to.
• 27:15
  Don't
• 27:15
  take
• 27:15
  that
• 27:16
  on.
• 27:16
  Yeah,
• 27:17
  they
• 27:17
  may
• 27:17
  actually
• 27:17
  accidentally
• 27:18
  learn
• 27:18
  how
• 27:19
  to
• 27:19
  read.
• 27:19
  If
• 27:19
  you
• 27:19
  read
• 27:19
  to
• 27:19
  them
• 27:20
  all
• 27:20
  the
• 27:20
  time,
• 27:20
  suddenly
• 27:21
  they
• 27:21
  might
• 27:21
  be
• 27:21
  reading.
• 27:22
  That
• 27:22
  can
• 27:22
  happen.
• 27:23
  Yeah.
• 27:23
  Didn't
• 27:24
  happen
• 27:24
  for
• 27:24
  me.
• 27:25
  No,
• 27:25
  it
• 27:25
  didn't
• 27:25
  happen
• 27:25
  for
• 27:26
  you,
• 27:27
  but
• 27:27
  it
• 27:27
  does
• 27:28
  happen
• 27:28
  for
• 27:28
  some
• 27:28
  kids.
• 27:29
  Yeah.
• 27:29
  And
• 27:30
  you
• 27:31
  know,
• 27:31
  and
• 27:31
  that's
• 27:31
  fine.
• 27:32
  If
• 27:32
  it
• 27:32
  does,
• 27:32
  that's
• 27:32
  great.
• 27:33
  But
• 27:33
  if
• 27:33
  it
• 27:34
  doesn't,
• 27:34
  that's
• 27:34
  fine
• 27:34
  too
• 27:36
  because
• 27:37
  what
• 27:37
  you
• 27:37
  should
• 27:37
  be
• 27:37
  doing,
• 27:38
  which
• 27:38
  we'll
• 27:39
  talk
• 27:39
  about,
• 27:39
  is
• 27:39
  a
• 27:39
  lot
• 27:40
  of
• 27:40
  pre
• 27:40
  reading
• 27:40
  activities.
• 27:43
  So
• 27:43
  that's
• 27:43
  helpful,
• 27:44
  but
• 27:45
  not
• 27:46
  actually
• 27:46
  trying
• 27:46
  to
• 27:46
  teach
• 27:47
  them
• 27:47
  to
• 27:47
  read.
• 27:47
  But
• 27:48
  anyway.
• 27:48
  So
• 27:49
  one
• 27:50
  thing
• 27:50
  I
• 27:50
  thought
• 27:50
  was
• 27:50
  interesting,
• 27:51
  just
• 27:51
  about
• 27:51
  memory
• 27:51
  is
• 27:52
  that
• 27:52
  there
• 27:52
  was
• 27:52
  a
• 27:52
  quote
• 27:53
  by
• 27:53
  someone
• 27:53
  whose
• 27:54
  name
• 27:54
  I
• 27:54
  did
• 27:54
  not
• 27:54
  write
• 27:55
  down
• 27:55
  was
• 27:56
  that
• 27:56
  more
• 27:56
  memory
• 27:57
  is
• 27:57
  needed
• 27:57
  for
• 27:58
  success
• 27:58
  in
• 27:58
  school
• 27:59
  than
• 27:59
  in
• 27:59
  any
• 27:59
  other
• 27:59
  career.
• 28:01
  So
• 28:01
  why
• 28:02
  do
• 28:02
  we
• 28:02
  have
• 28:02
  to
• 28:02
  memorize
• 28:03
  so
• 28:03
  much?
• 28:03
  Is
• 28:03
  it
• 28:04
  just
• 28:04
  so
• 28:04
  we
• 28:04
  can
• 28:04
  learn
• 28:05
  how
• 28:05
  to
• 28:05
  memorize?
• 28:06
  Is
• 28:06
  memorization
• 28:07
  even
• 28:07
  useful?
• 28:08
  The
• 28:08
  only
• 28:08
  time
• 28:09
  I've
• 28:09
  ever
• 28:09
  really
• 28:09
  needed
• 28:09
  it
• 28:10
  in
• 28:10
  life
• 28:10
  was
• 28:10
  to
• 28:11
  learn
• 28:11
  lines.
• 28:12
  But
• 28:12
  I
• 28:12
  didn't
• 28:13
  do
• 28:13
  it
• 28:13
  the
• 28:13
  same
• 28:13
  way
• 28:14
  that
• 28:14
  I
• 28:15
  did
• 28:15
  it
• 28:15
  in
• 28:16
  school.
• 28:16
  Like
• 28:16
  I
• 28:17
  wish
• 28:17
  I'd
• 28:17
  had
• 28:17
  the
• 28:17
  tools
• 28:18
  I
• 28:18
  learned
• 28:18
  in
• 28:19
  conservatory
• 28:20
  for
• 28:20
  just
• 28:21
  memorization.
• 28:22
  Well,
• 28:22
  the
• 28:23
  thing
• 28:23
  about
• 28:24
  memory
• 28:24
  needed
• 28:25
  in
• 28:25
  school,
• 28:25
  it's
• 28:26
  not
• 28:26
  so
• 28:26
  much,
• 28:27
  I
• 28:27
  don't
• 28:27
  think
• 28:27
  memorization
• 28:29
  as
• 28:29
  much
• 28:30
  as
• 28:30
  you
• 28:30
  have
• 28:31
  to
• 28:31
  call
• 28:31
  on
• 28:32
  what
• 28:32
  you
• 28:32
  learned
• 28:32
  before
• 28:34
  in
• 28:34
  order
• 28:34
  to
• 28:35
  keep
• 28:35
  going.
• 28:36
  Like
• 28:36
  for
• 28:36
  example
• 28:37
  in
• 28:37
  math,
• 28:38
  let's
• 28:38
  say
• 28:39
  math
• 28:39
  is
• 28:40
  taught
• 28:40
  very
• 28:40
  sequentially
• 28:41
  and
• 28:42
  you
• 28:42
  have
• 28:42
  to
• 28:42
  remember
• 28:43
  what
• 28:44
  you
• 28:44
  learned
• 28:44
  earlier
• 28:45
  in
• 28:45
  order
• 28:46
  to
• 28:46
  do
• 28:46
  more
• 28:47
  high
• 28:47
  level
• 28:47
  math.
• 28:48
  So
• 28:48
  it's
• 28:48
  not
• 28:49
  so
• 28:49
  much
• 28:49
  that
• 28:49
  you
• 28:49
  need
• 28:49
  to
• 28:50
  remember,
• 28:51
  you
• 28:52
  know,
• 28:52
  memorize.
• 28:53
  I
• 28:53
  honestly
• 28:54
  don't
• 28:54
  think
• 28:54
  I
• 28:54
  made
• 28:55
  it
• 28:55
  past
• 28:55
  like
• 28:55
  long
• 28:56
  division
• 28:56
  in
• 28:56
  math.
• 28:57
  Yeah,
• 28:58
  I
• 28:58
  didn't
• 28:58
  either.
• 28:59
  My
• 29:00
  math
• 29:00
  skills
• 29:00
  ended
• 29:00
  about.
• 29:01
  I
• 29:01
  also
• 29:02
  had
• 29:02
  to
• 29:02
  verbally
• 29:03
  write
• 29:04
  out
• 29:04
  the
• 29:04
  steps
• 29:05
  to
• 29:05
  math
• 29:06
  problems.
• 29:07
  Yes.
• 29:07
  And
• 29:08
  my
• 29:08
  math
• 29:08
  teacher,
• 29:09
  I
• 29:09
  only.
• 29:10
  I
• 29:10
  had
• 29:10
  one
• 29:11
  amazing
• 29:11
  math
• 29:12
  teacher
• 29:12
  in
• 29:12
  fifth
• 29:13
  grade.
• 29:13
  His
• 29:14
  name
• 29:14
  was
• 29:14
  Larry.
• 29:15
  I
• 29:15
  hope
• 29:15
  you're
• 29:16
  still
• 29:16
  out
• 29:16
  there
• 29:16
  teaching
• 29:17
  Larry.
• 29:17
  But
• 29:18
  one
• 29:18
  thing
• 29:18
  that
• 29:18
  Larry
• 29:19
  gave
• 29:19
  us
• 29:20
  a
• 29:20
  lot
• 29:20
  of
• 29:20
  was
• 29:20
  logic
• 29:21
  problems.
• 29:22
  And
• 29:22
  the
• 29:22
  way
• 29:22
  they
• 29:23
  were
• 29:23
  is
• 29:23
  they
• 29:23
  were
• 29:23
  on
• 29:23
  grids
• 29:24
  and
• 29:24
  they
• 29:24
  gave
• 29:24
  you
• 29:24
  clues
• 29:25
  and
• 29:25
  you
• 29:25
  sort
• 29:25
  of
• 29:25
  had
• 29:26
  to
• 29:26
  solve
• 29:27
  those.
• 29:28
  I
• 29:28
  don't
• 29:28
  quite
• 29:28
  understand
• 29:29
  how
• 29:29
  that
• 29:29
  is
• 29:30
  math.
• 29:30
  It
• 29:30
  is
• 29:30
  math.
• 29:31
  But
• 29:31
  I
• 29:32
  loved
• 29:32
  those.
• 29:33
  Right.
• 29:33
  I
• 29:34
  would
• 29:34
  go
• 29:35
  crazy
• 29:35
  for
• 29:36
  these
• 29:36
  logic
• 29:36
  problems.
• 29:37
  I
• 29:37
  know.
• 29:37
  But
• 29:38
  you
• 29:38
  know
• 29:38
  what
• 29:38
  it
• 29:38
  is,
• 29:38
  is
• 29:39
  that
• 29:39
  those
• 29:39
  were
• 29:39
  verbal
• 29:40
  problems
• 29:41
  that
• 29:41
  involved
• 29:42
  numbers.
• 29:42
  But
• 29:42
  they
• 29:43
  were.
• 29:43
  You
• 29:43
  were.
• 29:44
  It
• 29:44
  was
• 29:44
  a
• 29:44
  verbal
• 29:45
  activity
• 29:46
  even
• 29:46
  though
• 29:46
  it
• 29:46
  was
• 29:47
  math.
• 29:47
  There's
• 29:47
  a
• 29:47
  lot
• 29:48
  of
• 29:48
  verbal
• 29:48
  activity
• 29:48
  in
• 29:49
  math
• 29:50
  and
• 29:51
  you
• 29:51
  were
• 29:51
  good
• 29:51
  at
• 29:52
  verbal
• 29:52
  and
• 29:53
  so
• 29:53
  that's
• 29:53
  why
• 29:54
  you
• 29:54
  did
• 29:54
  really
• 29:54
  well
• 29:55
  at
• 29:55
  those.
• 29:55
  And
• 29:55
  I
• 29:55
  liked
• 29:56
  doing
• 29:56
  well.
• 29:56
  Like
• 29:57
  when
• 29:57
  I
• 29:57
  did
• 29:59
  would
• 29:59
  cooperate
• 29:59
  in
• 30:00
  a
• 30:00
  class.
• 30:00
  And
• 30:00
  I
• 30:01
  think
• 30:01
  it
• 30:01
  just
• 30:01
  goes
• 30:01
  to
• 30:01
  show
• 30:02
  you.
• 30:02
  But.
• 30:02
  And
• 30:03
  it
• 30:03
  wasn't
• 30:03
  always
• 30:03
  the
• 30:03
  subjects
• 30:04
  that
• 30:04
  I
• 30:05
  would
• 30:05
  necessarily
• 30:06
  expect
• 30:06
  to
• 30:07
  succeed
• 30:07
  in.
• 30:07
  But
• 30:07
  when
• 30:08
  you.
• 30:08
  I
• 30:08
  had
• 30:08
  teachers
• 30:09
  that
• 30:09
  were
• 30:09
  patient
• 30:09
  with
• 30:10
  me
• 30:10
  and
• 30:11
  that
• 30:11
  understood
• 30:12
  that
• 30:12
  I
• 30:12
  could
• 30:12
  learn.
• 30:13
  That
• 30:13
  was
• 30:14
  so,
• 30:14
  so
• 30:15
  helpful
• 30:17
  and
• 30:17
  encouraging.
• 30:18
  Oh,
• 30:18
  absolutely.
• 30:18
  Of
• 30:19
  course.
• 30:19
  You
• 30:19
  love.
• 30:19
  Kids
• 30:19
  love
• 30:20
  compliments.
• 30:20
  They
• 30:21
  do.
• 30:21
  And
• 30:21
  they
• 30:21
  like
• 30:22
  to
• 30:22
  do
• 30:22
  well
• 30:22
  in
• 30:22
  school.
• 30:23
  And
• 30:23
  it
• 30:23
  was,
• 30:23
  it
• 30:24
  was
• 30:24
  tough
• 30:24
  on
• 30:24
  you
• 30:24
  because
• 30:25
  you
• 30:25
  didn't
• 30:25
  do.
• 30:26
  You
• 30:26
  struggled
• 30:26
  so
• 30:27
  much
• 30:27
  in
• 30:27
  school
• 30:27
  and.
• 30:29
  No.
• 30:29
  And
• 30:29
  what
• 30:30
  was
• 30:30
  ironic
• 30:31
  is,
• 30:31
  you
• 30:31
  know,
• 30:32
  I
• 30:32
  later
• 30:32
  went
• 30:33
  on
• 30:33
  and
• 30:33
  I
• 30:33
  started
• 30:33
  a
• 30:34
  company,
• 30:34
  testingmom.com
• 30:35
  where
• 30:36
  I
• 30:36
  do
• 30:36
  help
• 30:37
  people
• 30:37
  all
• 30:37
  over
• 30:37
  the
• 30:38
  country
• 30:38
  get
• 30:38
  their
• 30:38
  kids
• 30:39
  into
• 30:39
  the
• 30:39
  best
• 30:39
  schools.
• 30:40
  That's
• 30:40
  part
• 30:40
  of
• 30:40
  what
• 30:40
  we
• 30:41
  do
• 30:41
  there.
• 30:42
  I
• 30:43
  tried
• 30:43
  so
• 30:44
  hard
• 30:44
  to
• 30:44
  get
• 30:44
  you
• 30:44
  into
• 30:45
  the
• 30:45
  right
• 30:45
  school.
• 30:46
  Here
• 30:47
  I
• 30:47
  was
• 30:47
  in
• 30:47
  New
• 30:47
  York,
• 30:48
  an
• 30:48
  expert.
• 30:48
  I
• 30:49
  knew
• 30:49
  every
• 30:49
  school
• 30:50
  in
• 30:50
  the
• 30:50
  city.
• 30:50
  I
• 30:51
  knew
• 30:51
  your
• 30:51
  issues.
• 30:52
  We
• 30:52
  kept
• 30:53
  trying
• 30:53
  one
• 30:53
  school
• 30:54
  after
• 30:54
  another
• 30:55
  and
• 30:55
  I
• 30:56
  could
• 30:56
  not
• 30:56
  find
• 30:57
  the
• 30:57
  right
• 30:57
  school
• 30:57
  for
• 30:58
  you.
• 30:58
  And
• 30:59
  it
• 30:59
  was
• 30:59
  so,
• 31:00
  so
• 31:00
  frustrating
• 31:00
  for
• 31:01
  both
• 31:01
  of
• 31:01
  us.
• 31:02
  But
• 31:02
  the
• 31:02
  funny
• 31:03
  part
• 31:03
  is.
• 31:04
  Well,
• 31:04
  what
• 31:04
  I
• 31:04
  was
• 31:04
  gonna
• 31:05
  say
• 31:05
  is
• 31:05
  then
• 31:05
  you
• 31:05
  went
• 31:05
  on
• 31:06
  later
• 31:06
  and
• 31:06
  became
• 31:07
  an
• 31:07
  actor
• 31:08
  and
• 31:08
  had
• 31:08
  a
• 31:08
  one
• 31:09
  woman
• 31:09
  show
• 31:09
  off
• 31:10
  Broadway
• 31:11
  called
• 31:11
  Unsatisfactory
• 31:13
  about
• 31:14
  all
• 31:14
  the
• 31:14
  schools
• 31:15
  you
• 31:15
  ended
• 31:15
  up
• 31:15
  going
• 31:16
  to
• 31:16
  when
• 31:16
  you
• 31:16
  lived
• 31:17
  in
• 31:17
  New
• 31:17
  York
• 31:17
  City
• 31:18
  and
• 31:18
  could
• 31:18
  not
• 31:18
  find
• 31:18
  the
• 31:19
  right
• 31:19
  school.
• 31:19
  Yeah.
• 31:20
  So
• 31:20
  that
• 31:20
  served
• 31:20
  me
• 31:21
  right.
• 31:21
  This
• 31:21
  was
• 31:22
  my
• 31:22
  job,
• 31:23
  my
• 31:23
  expertise.
• 31:24
  But
• 31:25
  it
• 31:25
  was
• 31:25
  just.
• 31:25
  It's
• 31:26
  very
• 31:26
  hard
• 31:26
  to
• 31:26
  find
• 31:27
  a
• 31:27
  school
• 31:27
  for
• 31:27
  somebody
• 31:28
  who
• 31:28
  does
• 31:28
  not
• 31:28
  fit
• 31:29
  the
• 31:29
  mold.
• 31:30
  It
• 31:30
  really
• 31:30
  is.
• 31:30
  And
• 31:31
  I'm
• 31:31
  lucky
• 31:31
  in
• 31:31
  that
• 31:32
  I
• 31:32
  learned
• 31:32
  how
• 31:32
  to
• 31:33
  be
• 31:33
  adaptable
• 31:33
  as
• 31:33
  a
• 31:34
  result
• 31:34
  of
• 31:34
  that
• 31:34
  experience.
• 31:35
  I
• 31:35
  think
• 31:35
  a
• 31:35
  lot
• 31:36
  of
• 31:36
  kids
• 31:36
  really
• 31:36
  struggle
• 31:37
  when
• 31:37
  they
• 31:38
  switch
• 31:38
  schools.
• 31:38
  Even
• 31:39
  if
• 31:39
  like
• 31:39
  they're
• 31:39
  switching
• 31:40
  schools
• 31:40
  not
• 31:40
  on
• 31:40
  their
• 31:41
  own.
• 31:41
  Like
• 31:41
  let's
• 31:42
  say
• 31:42
  their
• 31:42
  school
• 31:42
  ends
• 31:42
  in
• 31:43
  sixth
• 31:43
  grade
• 31:43
  and
• 31:43
  by
• 31:43
  seventh
• 31:44
  grade
• 31:44
  they
• 31:44
  have
• 31:44
  to
• 31:44
  go
• 31:44
  to
• 31:44
  a
• 31:45
  different
• 31:45
  school.
• 31:46
  It's
• 31:46
  like,
• 31:46
  it's
• 31:47
  difficult.
• 31:47
  But
• 31:47
  I
• 31:48
  did
• 31:48
  it
• 31:48
  so
• 31:48
  Many
• 31:48
  times
• 31:49
  that
• 31:49
  I
• 31:50
  kind
• 31:50
  of
• 31:50
  credit
• 31:50
  that.
• 31:51
  To
• 31:51
  be
• 31:51
  able
• 31:51
  to
• 31:52
  walk
• 31:52
  into
• 31:52
  a
• 31:52
  room
• 31:53
  and
• 31:53
  talk
• 31:53
  to
• 31:53
  anybody
• 31:54
  about
• 31:54
  something.
• 31:54
  Yeah.
• 31:55
  Because
• 31:55
  every
• 31:55
  school
• 31:55
  I
• 31:56
  went
• 31:56
  to
• 31:56
  was
• 31:56
  so
• 31:57
  different.
• 31:58
  Right,
• 31:59
  right.
• 31:59
  No,
• 31:59
  it.
• 32:00
  It
• 32:00
  turned
• 32:00
  out
• 32:00
  to
• 32:01
  be
• 32:01
  a
• 32:01
  good
• 32:01
  experience
• 32:02
  for
• 32:02
  you,
• 32:04
  mostly,
• 32:05
  but
• 32:05
  some
• 32:05
  of
• 32:05
  it
• 32:06
  was
• 32:06
  bad.
• 32:07
  Yeah,
• 32:07
  like.
• 32:07
  No,
• 32:07
  some
• 32:08
  of
• 32:08
  it.
• 32:08
  I
• 32:08
  went
• 32:08
  to
• 32:08
  one
• 32:09
  school
• 32:09
  that
• 32:09
  was
• 32:09
  for
• 32:10
  kids
• 32:11
  with
• 32:11
  behavioral
• 32:12
  issues.
• 32:13
  And
• 32:13
  they
• 32:13
  didn't
• 32:13
  group
• 32:14
  you
• 32:14
  by
• 32:14
  age.
• 32:15
  They
• 32:15
  grouped
• 32:16
  you
• 32:16
  by
• 32:16
  how
• 32:17
  difficult
• 32:17
  you
• 32:17
  were.
• 32:18
  And
• 32:18
  I
• 32:18
  was
• 32:19
  like
• 32:19
  DEFCON
• 32:20
  5.
• 32:21
  So
• 32:21
  I
• 32:21
  was
• 32:21
  with
• 32:21
  all
• 32:22
  these
• 32:22
  kids
• 32:22
  who
• 32:22
  were
• 32:23
  like
• 32:23
  18
• 32:24
  and
• 32:24
  I
• 32:24
  was
• 32:25
  like
• 32:25
  13.
• 32:26
  And
• 32:26
  I
• 32:27
  just
• 32:27
  learned
• 32:27
  even
• 32:28
  more
• 32:28
  ways
• 32:28
  to
• 32:29
  be
• 32:29
  a
• 32:29
  nightmare.
• 32:29
  And
• 32:30
  that
• 32:30
  school
• 32:30
  was
• 32:30
  not
• 32:30
  supposed
• 32:31
  to
• 32:31
  be.
• 32:31
  That
• 32:31
  they
• 32:32
  were
• 32:32
  supposed
• 32:32
  to.
• 32:32
  I
• 32:32
  don't
• 32:32
  know
• 32:32
  what
• 32:33
  that
• 32:33
  school
• 32:33
  was
• 32:33
  supposed
• 32:33
  to
• 32:33
  do.
• 32:34
  They
• 32:34
  were
• 32:34
  supposed
• 32:34
  to
• 32:34
  put
• 32:35
  you
• 32:35
  with
• 32:35
  kids
• 32:35
  who
• 32:36
  had
• 32:36
  non
• 32:37
  verbal
• 32:37
  learning.
• 32:38
  Well,
• 32:38
  they
• 32:38
  did,
• 32:38
  but
• 32:38
  they
• 32:39
  were
• 32:39
  also
• 32:39
  just
• 32:39
  very
• 32:40
  bad,
• 32:40
  very
• 32:41
  smart
• 32:41
  kids.
• 32:42
  Kids
• 32:42
  who
• 32:42
  found
• 32:43
  new
• 32:43
  ways
• 32:44
  of
• 32:44
  terrorizing
• 32:45
  people.
• 32:46
  They
• 32:46
  were
• 32:47
  just
• 32:47
  brilliant
• 32:48
  at
• 32:48
  it.
• 32:48
  Well,
• 32:49
  I
• 32:50
  don't
• 32:50
  know.
• 32:50
  I
• 32:50
  guess
• 32:50
  it
• 32:50
  made
• 32:51
  you
• 32:51
  into
• 32:51
  the
• 32:51
  person
• 32:51
  you
• 32:52
  are
• 32:52
  today.
• 32:52
  I
• 32:53
  don't
• 32:53
  know
• 32:53
  what
• 32:53
  to
• 32:53
  say.
• 32:53
  Some
• 32:53
  of
• 32:54
  them
• 32:54
  are
• 32:54
  in
• 32:54
  jail
• 32:54
  and
• 32:55
  some
• 32:55
  of
• 32:55
  them
• 32:55
  are
• 32:55
  CEOs,
• 32:56
  so
• 32:57
  it
• 32:57
  really
• 32:57
  can
• 32:57
  go
• 32:57
  either
• 32:58
  way.
• 32:58
  Oh,
• 32:58
  God.
• 32:59
  Okay.
• 32:59
  Okay,
• 33:00
  well,
• 33:00
  let's.
• 33:01
  Let's
• 33:01
  go,
• 33:01
  go
• 33:02
  back
• 33:02
  to
• 33:02
  the
• 33:02
  book
• 33:03
  so
• 33:03
  I
• 33:03
  can
• 33:03
  tell
• 33:04
  people
• 33:04
  what
• 33:04
  they're
• 33:04
  gonna
• 33:05
  learn
• 33:05
  if
• 33:05
  they
• 33:05
  read
• 33:05
  the
• 33:05
  book.
• 33:06
  Okay,
• 33:07
  so
• 33:07
  we.
• 33:07
  Okay,
• 33:07
  let's
• 33:08
  go
• 33:08
  into
• 33:08
  the,
• 33:09
  the
• 33:09
  big
• 33:09
  areas,
• 33:09
  which
• 33:10
  is
• 33:10
  reading,
• 33:10
  number
• 33:11
  one.
• 33:11
  And
• 33:12
  I
• 33:12
  talk
• 33:12
  about
• 33:14
  what
• 33:14
  you
• 33:14
  should
• 33:14
  be
• 33:15
  doing.
• 33:15
  Obviously
• 33:15
  you
• 33:15
  should
• 33:16
  be
• 33:16
  reading
• 33:16
  to
• 33:16
  your
• 33:16
  child
• 33:17
  from
• 33:17
  the
• 33:17
  time
• 33:17
  they
• 33:18
  are
• 33:18
  first
• 33:18
  born,
• 33:20
  all
• 33:20
  the
• 33:20
  time.
• 33:21
  As
• 33:21
  much
• 33:21
  as
• 33:21
  possible,
• 33:22
  you
• 33:22
  read
• 33:22
  to
• 33:22
  your
• 33:23
  child.
• 33:23
  Rhyming
• 33:24
  books
• 33:24
  are
• 33:25
  the
• 33:25
  best
• 33:25
  at
• 33:25
  first.
• 33:26
  At
• 33:26
  first.
• 33:26
  Rhyming
• 33:27
  books
• 33:27
  are
• 33:27
  great
• 33:28
  because
• 33:28
  they
• 33:28
  are
• 33:29
  pre
• 33:29
  reading.
• 33:30
  They
• 33:30
  teach
• 33:30
  pre
• 33:30
  reading
• 33:31
  skills,
• 33:31
  rhymes,
• 33:32
  teach
• 33:32
  pre
• 33:33
  reading
• 33:33
  skills,
• 33:34
  nursery
• 33:35
  rhymes,
• 33:36
  and
• 33:36
  also
• 33:37
  just
• 33:38
  Dr.
• 33:38
  Seuss
• 33:39
  kinds
• 33:39
  of
• 33:39
  books.
• 33:41
  I
• 33:41
  talk
• 33:41
  about
• 33:41
  dialogic
• 33:42
  reading,
• 33:43
  which
• 33:43
  is
• 33:43
  you
• 33:44
  read
• 33:44
  a
• 33:45
  story
• 33:45
  to
• 33:45
  your
• 33:45
  child
• 33:46
  and
• 33:47
  you
• 33:47
  ask
• 33:48
  questions
• 33:48
  along
• 33:49
  the
• 33:49
  way
• 33:49
  or
• 33:50
  you
• 33:50
  have
• 33:50
  them
• 33:50
  predict
• 33:51
  what's
• 33:51
  going
• 33:51
  to
• 33:51
  happen
• 33:52
  next.
• 33:52
  There's
• 33:53
  things
• 33:53
  you
• 33:53
  can
• 33:53
  do
• 33:54
  that
• 33:55
  kind
• 33:55
  of
• 33:55
  give
• 33:55
  you
• 33:56
  a
• 33:56
  little
• 33:56
  more
• 33:56
  oomph
• 33:57
  out
• 33:57
  of
• 33:57
  your
• 33:57
  reading
• 33:58
  that
• 33:58
  you
• 33:58
  can
• 33:58
  do
• 33:58
  if
• 33:59
  you
• 33:59
  want
• 33:59
  to
• 34:01
  more
• 34:02
  value
• 34:03
  wordless
• 34:03
  picture
• 34:04
  books.
• 34:04
  You
• 34:04
  know,
• 34:04
  books
• 34:05
  that
• 34:05
  don't
• 34:05
  have
• 34:05
  words,
• 34:06
  but
• 34:06
  a
• 34:06
  child
• 34:07
  can
• 34:07
  look
• 34:07
  at
• 34:07
  the
• 34:07
  pictures
• 34:08
  and
• 34:08
  tell
• 34:08
  the
• 34:08
  story.
• 34:09
  Again,
• 34:09
  a
• 34:09
  pre
• 34:09
  reading
• 34:10
  skill.
• 34:11
  You
• 34:12
  should
• 34:12
  read
• 34:12
  nonfiction
• 34:13
  to
• 34:13
  your
• 34:13
  young
• 34:14
  children.
• 34:16
  Read
• 34:17
  biographies
• 34:17
  of
• 34:17
  presidents
• 34:18
  to
• 34:18
  your
• 34:19
  infants.
• 34:19
  Do
• 34:19
  you
• 34:20
  think?
• 34:20
  No,
• 34:21
  no.
• 34:21
  But
• 34:22
  more
• 34:22
  things
• 34:22
  that
• 34:23
  they
• 34:23
  may
• 34:23
  be
• 34:23
  interested
• 34:24
  in,
• 34:24
  like,
• 34:24
  you
• 34:24
  know,
• 34:25
  dinosaurs,
• 34:26
  if
• 34:26
  they
• 34:26
  love
• 34:26
  dinosaurs,
• 34:27
  or
• 34:27
  whatever
• 34:28
  your
• 34:28
  child
• 34:29
  is
• 34:29
  interested.
• 34:29
  Cars
• 34:31
  just,
• 34:31
  you
• 34:32
  know,
• 34:32
  whatever
• 34:32
  interests
• 34:33
  Them
• 34:33
  read
• 34:33
  nonfiction.
• 34:34
  That's.
• 34:34
  That's
• 34:35
  very
• 34:35
  helpful
• 34:35
  because
• 34:36
  non
• 34:36
  fiction
• 34:37
  books
• 34:37
  have
• 34:37
  sentences
• 34:39
  that
• 34:39
  are
• 34:40
  connected
• 34:41
  more
• 34:42
  by
• 34:42
  inference.
• 34:43
  And
• 34:43
  so
• 34:43
  that
• 34:44
  it
• 34:44
  teaches
• 34:44
  them
• 34:44
  inferential
• 34:45
  skills.
• 34:46
  Inferential
• 34:47
  skills,
• 34:47
  which
• 34:47
  even.
• 34:48
  Yeah,
• 34:48
  like,
• 34:49
  you
• 34:49
  know,
• 34:49
  gotta
• 34:50
  learn
• 34:50
  to
• 34:50
  infer.
• 34:50
  Right.
• 34:51
  Like
• 34:51
  the
• 34:52
  little
• 34:53
  boy
• 34:53
  was
• 34:53
  crying,
• 34:54
  he
• 34:54
  didn't
• 34:55
  see
• 34:55
  his
• 34:55
  mother.
• 34:56
  Those
• 34:56
  two
• 34:56
  sentences
• 34:57
  have
• 34:57
  nothing
• 34:57
  to
• 34:57
  do
• 34:58
  with
• 34:58
  each
• 34:58
  other,
• 34:59
  but
• 34:59
  one
• 34:59
  explains
• 35:00
  the
• 35:00
  other.
• 35:00
  Like
• 35:00
  the
• 35:01
  mother
• 35:01
  was
• 35:01
  somewhere
• 35:02
  else
• 35:02
  and
• 35:03
  where
• 35:03
  was.
• 35:04
  Where
• 35:04
  was
• 35:04
  she?
• 35:05
  Why
• 35:05
  wasn't
• 35:05
  she
• 35:05
  paying
• 35:06
  attention?
• 35:07
  But
• 35:07
  anyway,
• 35:07
  so
• 35:08
  that.
• 35:08
  That's
• 35:09
  a
• 35:09
  skill.
• 35:09
  That
• 35:10
  is
• 35:10
  a
• 35:10
  thinking
• 35:11
  skill
• 35:11
  that,
• 35:12
  you
• 35:12
  know,
• 35:12
  you
• 35:12
  teach
• 35:12
  your
• 35:13
  child
• 35:13
  by
• 35:13
  reading.
• 35:13
  You
• 35:13
  need
• 35:14
  to
• 35:14
  be
• 35:14
  able
• 35:14
  to
• 35:14
  infer,
• 35:14
  to
• 35:15
  jump
• 35:15
  to
• 35:15
  conclusions.
• 35:16
  That's
• 35:16
  right.
• 35:18
  Anyway,
• 35:18
  okay.
• 35:20
  Music
• 35:20
  is
• 35:20
  another
• 35:21
  thing
• 35:21
  to
• 35:21
  get
• 35:21
  your
• 35:21
  child
• 35:22
  involved
• 35:22
  with.
• 35:22
  This
• 35:23
  really
• 35:23
  surprised
• 35:24
  me
• 35:24
  that
• 35:25
  music,
• 35:25
  and
• 35:25
  particularly
• 35:26
  learning
• 35:26
  an
• 35:26
  instrument
• 35:27
  really
• 35:27
  young,
• 35:28
  can
• 35:28
  increase
• 35:28
  someone's
• 35:29
  IQ
• 35:29
  by
• 35:30
  up
• 35:30
  to
• 35:30
  46%.
• 35:31
  Well,
• 35:33
  it
• 35:34
  increases
• 35:34
  their
• 35:35
  spatial
• 35:35
  reasoning
• 35:36
  skills,
• 35:36
  which
• 35:37
  is
• 35:37
  why
• 35:37
  I
• 35:37
  should
• 35:37
  have
• 35:37
  gotten
• 35:38
  you
• 35:39
  into
• 35:39
  it.
• 35:40
  Possibly.
• 35:40
  What
• 35:41
  instrument
• 35:42
  could
• 35:42
  I
• 35:42
  have
• 35:42
  played?
• 35:43
  Piano.
• 35:44
  I
• 35:45
  would
• 35:45
  have
• 35:45
  liked
• 35:45
  it,
• 35:45
  but
• 35:45
  I
• 35:45
  had
• 35:46
  very
• 35:46
  small,
• 35:46
  weak
• 35:47
  fingers.
• 35:48
  Yeah,
• 35:48
  well,
• 35:48
  maybe
• 35:49
  violin
• 35:50
  or.
• 35:51
  I
• 35:51
  used
• 35:51
  to
• 35:51
  go
• 35:51
  to
• 35:52
  my
• 35:52
  friend's
• 35:52
  piano
• 35:52
  lessons.
• 35:53
  She
• 35:53
  took
• 35:53
  piano
• 35:54
  from
• 35:54
  a
• 35:54
  lady
• 35:54
  in
• 35:54
  her
• 35:55
  building.
• 35:55
  And
• 35:55
  sometimes
• 35:56
  I
• 35:56
  would
• 35:56
  just,
• 35:56
  like,
• 35:56
  sit
• 35:57
  in
• 35:57
  the
• 35:57
  other
• 35:57
  room
• 35:58
  and
• 35:58
  listen.
• 35:59
  And
• 35:59
  her
• 35:59
  piano
• 36:00
  teacher
• 36:00
  was
• 36:00
  so
• 36:01
  mean.
• 36:01
  Yeah.
• 36:02
  But
• 36:02
  she
• 36:02
  had
• 36:02
  a
• 36:02
  gigantic
• 36:03
  fish
• 36:03
  tank.
• 36:04
  So
• 36:04
  I
• 36:04
  would
• 36:05
  just
• 36:05
  watch
• 36:05
  the
• 36:05
  fish
• 36:06
  tank
• 36:06
  for
• 36:06
  like
• 36:07
  a
• 36:07
  full
• 36:07
  hour
• 36:08
  with
• 36:08
  all
• 36:09
  these
• 36:09
  crazy
• 36:10
  fish
• 36:10
  in
• 36:10
  it.
• 36:11
  You
• 36:11
  know,
• 36:11
  it's
• 36:11
  funny.
• 36:12
  I
• 36:12
  had
• 36:12
  a
• 36:12
  really
• 36:13
  hard
• 36:13
  time
• 36:13
  learning
• 36:15
  music
• 36:15
  myself.
• 36:15
  And
• 36:16
  it's
• 36:16
  funny
• 36:16
  to
• 36:16
  me
• 36:17
  that
• 36:17
  it
• 36:17
  says

• 36:21
  on
• 36:21
  an

  IQ
• 36:22
  test
• 36:22
  by
• 36:22
  46%
• 36:24
  in
• 36:24
  a
• 36:24
  study.
• 36:25
  That's
• 36:25
  the
• 36:25
  quote.
• 36:26
  But
• 36:26
  the
• 36:26
  thing
• 36:27
  is,
• 36:27
  I'm
• 36:27
  thinking
• 36:28
  with
• 36:28
  kids
• 36:28
  who
• 36:28
  have
• 36:29
  nonverbal
• 36:29
  learning
• 36:30
  disabilities,
• 36:30
  I'm
• 36:31
  not
• 36:31
  sure
• 36:31
  how
• 36:31
  easily
• 36:32
  they
• 36:32
  can
• 36:32
  learn
• 36:33
  piano.
• 36:33
  Well,
• 36:34
  I
• 36:34
  learned
• 36:34
  to
• 36:35
  read
• 36:35
  and
• 36:35
  write
• 36:35
  in
• 36:35
  Cyrillic
• 36:36
  at
• 36:36
  24.
• 36:38
  Oh,
• 36:38
  so
• 36:39
  you
• 36:39
  could
• 36:39
  learn
• 36:39
  that.
• 36:39
  So
• 36:40
  you
• 36:40
  can.
• 36:40
  You
• 36:40
  can.
• 36:40
  All
• 36:41
  right,
• 36:41
  well,
• 36:41
  very
• 36:41
  good.
• 36:42
  And
• 36:42
  it
• 36:42
  does
• 36:43
  say
• 36:43
  that
• 36:44
  more
• 36:44
  music
• 36:45
  majors
• 36:45
  are
• 36:46
  accepted
• 36:46
  to
• 36:46
  medical
• 36:47
  school
• 36:47
  than
• 36:47
  any
• 36:47
  other
• 36:48
  field
• 36:48
  of
• 36:48
  study.
• 36:48
  That's
• 36:49
  just
• 36:49
  incredible,
• 36:49
  because
• 36:49
  I
• 36:50
  also
• 36:50
  feel
• 36:50
  like.
• 36:50
  Yeah,
• 36:51
  parents
• 36:51
  who
• 36:52
  want
• 36:52
  their
• 36:52
  kids
• 36:53
  to
• 36:53
  be
• 36:53
  on
• 36:53
  the
• 36:53
  medical
• 36:53
  school
• 36:54
  track
• 36:55
  often
• 36:55
  shun
• 36:56
  creativity.
• 36:57
  They're
• 36:57
  like,
• 36:57
  it's
• 36:57
  a
• 36:57
  waste
• 36:58
  of
• 36:58
  time.
• 36:58
  That
• 36:58
  kind
• 36:58
  of
• 36:59
  thinking
• 36:59
  is
• 36:59
  useless.
• 37:00
  You
• 37:00
  need
• 37:00
  to
• 37:00
  be
• 37:01
  reading
• 37:01
  science
• 37:01
  textbooks.
• 37:02
  No,
• 37:02
  you
• 37:02
  need
• 37:02
  to
• 37:03
  be
• 37:03
  studying
• 37:04
  music.
• 37:04
  You
• 37:04
  need
• 37:04
  to
• 37:04
  be
• 37:04
  studying
• 37:05
  music.
• 37:05
  Right.
• 37:06
  Is
• 37:06
  it
• 37:06
  because
• 37:06
  it's
• 37:07
  abstract?
• 37:08
  They
• 37:08
  should
• 37:08
  be
• 37:08
  studying
• 37:09
  jazz.
• 37:10
  Ooh.
• 37:10
  Yeah.
• 37:10
  So
• 37:11
  they
• 37:11
  can.
• 37:12
  They
• 37:12
  can,
• 37:12
  like,
• 37:12
  change
• 37:13
  in
• 37:13
  the
• 37:13
  middle
• 37:13
  of
• 37:13
  an
• 37:13
  operation.
• 37:14
  There's
• 37:14
  no
• 37:15
  rhyme
• 37:15
  or
• 37:15
  reason.
• 37:15
  That's
• 37:16
  Right.
• 37:16
  Jazz.
• 37:16
  It's
• 37:17
  like
• 37:17
  being
• 37:17
  in
• 37:17
  an
• 37:18
  emergency
• 37:18
  room.
• 37:19
  Exactly.
• 37:20
  Yeah.
• 37:20
  Things
• 37:20
  are
• 37:21
  happening
• 37:21
  everywhere.
• 37:21
  It's
• 37:21
  like
• 37:21
  that
• 37:22
  show.
• 37:23
  Have
• 37:23
  you
• 37:23
  watched
• 37:24
  the
• 37:24
  Pit?
• 37:24
  Yeah.
• 37:24
  It's
• 37:24
  really
• 37:25
  good.
• 37:26
  So
• 37:26
  good.
• 37:27
  So
• 37:27
  stressful.
• 37:28
  I
• 37:28
  really
• 37:28
  wish
• 37:28
  somebody
• 37:29
  had
• 37:29
  warned
• 37:29
  me
• 37:29
  about
• 37:29
  episode
• 37:30
  eight.
• 37:30
  Well,
• 37:30
  because
• 37:31
  I
• 37:31
  was.
• 37:32
  Yeah.
• 37:32
  In
• 37:32
  the
• 37:32
  sewer.
• 37:33
  Yeah.
• 37:33
  Don't.
• 37:34
  Don't
• 37:34
  watch
• 37:34
  it
• 37:34
  right
• 37:34
  before
• 37:35
  bed
• 37:35
  or
• 37:35
  you'll
• 37:35
  be
• 37:35
  stressed.
• 37:36
  Don't
• 37:36
  watch
• 37:36
  it
• 37:36
  when
• 37:37
  you're
• 37:37
  posting
• 37:37
  postpartum.
• 37:38
  Oh,
• 37:38
  okay.
• 37:39
  Well,
• 37:40
  anyway,
• 37:40
  all
• 37:41
  right,
• 37:41
  so.
• 37:42
  So,
• 37:42
  yes,
• 37:43
  music
• 37:43
  is
• 37:43
  great.
• 37:44
  It
• 37:44
  really.
• 37:44
  It
• 37:45
  read
• 37:45
  about
• 37:45
  it
• 37:46
  in
• 37:46
  the
• 37:46
  book
• 37:47
  or
• 37:48
  it
• 37:48
  doesn't
• 37:48
  matter.
• 37:48
  Just
• 37:49
  if
• 37:49
  you
• 37:49
  don't
• 37:49
  read
• 37:50
  about
• 37:50
  it.
• 37:50
  Just
• 37:50
  give
• 37:51
  your
• 37:51
  child
• 37:51
  music
• 37:52
  lessons.
• 37:52
  Get
• 37:53
  them
• 37:53
  a
• 37:53
  xylophone,
• 37:54
  anything.
• 37:55
  Just
• 37:55
  teach
• 37:55
  them
• 37:56
  to
• 37:56
  play
• 37:56
  a
• 37:56
  harp.
• 37:57
  A
• 37:58
  harp.
• 37:58
  I
• 37:58
  love
• 37:58
  the
• 37:58
  harp.
• 37:59
  Me.
• 37:59
  I
• 37:59
  love
• 37:59
  the
• 37:59
  harp.
• 38:00
  So
• 38:00
  how
• 38:00
  to
• 38:00
  talk
• 38:00
  to
• 38:01
  your
• 38:01
  child,
• 38:02
  and
• 38:02
  this
• 38:03
  is
• 38:03
  critical,
• 38:04
  and
• 38:04
  I
• 38:04
  say
• 38:05
  this.
• 38:05
  Your
• 38:05
  husband
• 38:05
  asked
• 38:06
  me
• 38:06
  when
• 38:06
  the
• 38:07
  baby
• 38:07
  was
• 38:07
  being
• 38:07
  born,
• 38:08
  what
• 38:08
  toys
• 38:09
  as
• 38:09
  she
• 38:09
  was
• 38:09
  being
• 38:10
  born.
• 38:10
  He
• 38:11
  says,
• 38:11
  what
• 38:11
  toys
• 38:12
  do
• 38:12
  I
• 38:12
  need
• 38:12
  to
• 38:12
  get
• 38:12
  her?
• 38:13
  And
• 38:13
  I
• 38:13
  said,
• 38:13
  none.
• 38:14
  You
• 38:14
  do
• 38:14
  not
• 38:14
  need
• 38:15
  to
• 38:15
  get
• 38:15
  her
• 38:15
  toys.
• 38:16
  What
• 38:16
  you
• 38:16
  need
• 38:16
  to
• 38:16
  do
• 38:17
  is
• 38:17
  talk
• 38:17
  to
• 38:18
  her
• 38:18
  all
• 38:18
  the
• 38:18
  time
• 38:19
  about
• 38:19
  anything
• 38:20
  and
• 38:20
  everything.
• 38:21
  There's
• 38:21
  all
• 38:21
  these
• 38:22
  studies,
• 38:22
  one
• 38:23
  in
• 38:23
  particular,
• 38:23
  where
• 38:25
  we
• 38:25
  learned
• 38:25
  that
• 38:26
  children
• 38:26
  brought
• 38:27
  up
• 38:27
  in
• 38:27
  high
• 38:27
  language
• 38:28
  household,
• 38:29
  where
• 38:29
  they're
• 38:29
  surrounded
• 38:30
  by
• 38:30
  language
• 38:31
  which
• 38:31
  could
• 38:31
  be
• 38:31
  reading,
• 38:32
  talking
• 38:32
  to
• 38:32
  them,
• 38:32
  all
• 38:33
  of
• 38:33
  that.
• 38:34
  Their
• 38:34
  IQs
• 38:35
  are
• 38:35
  38
• 38:36
  points
• 38:36
  higher
• 38:36
  than
• 38:37
  children
• 38:37
  brought
• 38:37
  up
• 38:38
  in
• 38:38
  low
• 38:38
  language
• 38:38
  households.
• 38:39
  So
• 38:40
  just
• 38:40
  talk
• 38:40
  to
• 38:40
  your
• 38:41
  child
• 38:41
  all
• 38:41
  the
• 38:41
  time.
• 38:42
  Yap.
• 38:42
  Be
• 38:43
  a
• 38:43
  yapper.
• 38:44
  Absolutely.
• 38:45
  You
• 38:45
  want
• 38:45
  to
• 38:45
  be
• 38:46
  a
• 38:46
  yapper.
• 38:47
  And
• 38:48
  I
• 38:48
  think
• 38:48
  in
• 38:48
  the
• 38:48
  book,
• 38:48
  I.
• 38:49
  Tell
• 38:49
  yappers
• 38:49
  have
• 38:50
  higher
• 38:50
  IQs.
• 38:51
  That's
• 38:51
  right.
• 38:52
  Be
• 38:52
  very
• 38:52
  verbal.
• 38:53
  I
• 38:54
  was
• 38:54
  telling
• 38:54
  the
• 38:54
  story
• 38:55
  in
• 38:55
  the
• 38:55
  book,
• 38:55
  and
• 38:55
  this
• 38:55
  is
• 38:56
  a
• 38:56
  true
• 38:56
  story
• 38:56
  about.
• 38:57
  There
• 38:57
  was
• 38:57
  a
• 38:57
  lady
• 38:57
  in
• 38:57
  our
• 38:58
  building,
• 38:58
  remember
• 38:59
  this
• 39:00
  woman?
• 39:00
  I
• 39:00
  thought
• 39:00
  she
• 39:00
  was
• 39:01
  so
• 39:01
  weird
• 39:02
  because
• 39:02
  she
• 39:03
  talked
• 39:03
  to
• 39:03
  her
• 39:03
  child
• 39:04
  all
• 39:04
  the
• 39:05
  time.
• 39:05
  I
• 39:05
  mean,
• 39:06
  she
• 39:06
  had
• 39:06
  this
• 39:06
  running
• 39:07
  dialogue.
• 39:07
  With
• 39:07
  her
• 39:08
  child
• 39:08
  for
• 39:08
  a
• 39:09
  long
• 39:09
  time.
• 39:09
  Was
• 39:09
  a
• 39:09
  running
• 39:09
  dialogue
• 39:10
  with
• 39:10
  herself.
• 39:10
  Well,
• 39:11
  the
• 39:11
  baby
• 39:12
  could
• 39:12
  not
• 39:12
  even,
• 39:13
  like,
• 39:13
  do
• 39:13
  anything,
• 39:13
  but
• 39:14
  she
• 39:14
  was
• 39:14
  constantly
• 39:15
  talking
• 39:15
  to
• 39:15
  the
• 39:15
  baby
• 39:16
  everywhere
• 39:17
  they
• 39:17
  went.
• 39:18
  And
• 39:19
  I
• 39:19
  was
• 39:19
  just
• 39:19
  really
• 39:20
  quiet
• 39:20
  with
• 39:20
  you.
• 39:20
  I
• 39:21
  would
• 39:21
  be
• 39:21
  schlepping
• 39:21
  you
• 39:22
  around
• 39:22
  in
• 39:22
  your
• 39:22
  little,
• 39:23
  you
• 39:23
  know,
• 39:23
  stroller
• 39:24
  and.
• 39:24
  Well,
• 39:25
  I
• 39:25
  was
• 39:25
  busy
• 39:25
  working
• 39:25
  on
• 39:25
  my
• 39:26
  soap
• 39:26
  opera.
• 39:26
  Yeah,
• 39:27
  well,
• 39:27
  you
• 39:27
  were
• 39:27
  on
• 39:27
  a
• 39:28
  soap
• 39:28
  opera.
• 39:28
  That's
• 39:28
  another
• 39:28
  story.
• 39:29
  You
• 39:29
  were
• 39:29
  on
• 39:29
  a
• 39:30
  soap
• 39:30
  opera
• 39:30
  at
• 39:30
  age
• 39:31
  three
• 39:31
  months.
• 39:32
  Actually,
• 39:32
  aged
• 39:32
  two
• 39:32
  months.
• 39:33
  We
• 39:33
  forged
• 39:34
  my
• 39:34
  birth
• 39:34
  certificate.
• 39:35
  Yeah,
• 39:35
  we
• 39:35
  did.
• 39:35
  And
• 39:35
  by
• 39:36
  we,
• 39:36
  I
• 39:36
  mean
• 39:36
  my
• 39:36
  mom.
• 39:37
  That's.
• 39:38
  I
• 39:38
  hope
• 39:38
  I
• 39:38
  can't
• 39:38
  get
• 39:39
  arrested.
• 39:39
  I
• 39:39
  think
• 39:39
  it's
• 39:40
  too
• 39:40
  late.
• 39:40
  Statute
• 39:40
  of
• 39:40
  limitations.
• 39:41
  Right.
• 39:41
  But
• 39:42
  anyway,
• 39:43
  so
• 39:43
  this
• 39:44
  woman,
• 39:44
  Gail,
• 39:45
  was
• 39:45
  always
• 39:45
  talking
• 39:46
  to
• 39:46
  her
• 39:47
  child
• 39:47
  constantly.
• 39:48
  I
• 39:49
  was
• 39:49
  not
• 39:49
  always
• 39:49
  talking
• 39:50
  to
• 39:50
  you.
• 39:51
  And
• 39:51
  when
• 39:51
  it
• 39:51
  came
• 39:51
  time
• 39:52
  to
• 39:52
  apply
• 39:53
  to
• 39:53
  Hunter
• 39:53
  College
• 39:53
  elementary,
• 39:55
  your
• 39:55
  IQ
• 39:56
  test
• 39:56
  showed
• 39:56
  a
• 39:57
  very
• 39:57
  average
• 39:57
  child.
• 39:58
  Everyone
• 39:58
  wants
• 39:59
  to
• 39:59
  go
• 39:59
  to
• 39:59
  Hunter.
• 40:00
  Everybody.
• 40:00
  It's
• 40:00
  the
• 40:00
  hardest
• 40:01
  school
• 40:01
  to
• 40:01
  get
• 40:01
  into.
• 40:01
  But
• 40:02
  I
• 40:02
  was
• 40:02
  far
• 40:03
  from
• 40:03
  average.
• 40:04
  Well,
• 40:06
  obviously
• 40:07
  at
• 40:07
  the
• 40:07
  time,
• 40:07
  I
• 40:07
  was
• 40:07
  average.
• 40:08
  You
• 40:08
  were
• 40:08
  average.
• 40:09
  According
• 40:10
  to
• 40:10
  the
• 40:10
  IQ
• 40:10
  test,
• 40:11
  her
• 40:12
  kid,
• 40:13
  like,
• 40:13
  nailed
• 40:14
  it
• 40:14
  and
• 40:15
  got
• 40:15
  into
• 40:15
  Hunter
• 40:16
  College
• 40:16
  Elementary.
• 40:17
  And
• 40:17
  I
• 40:17
  think
• 40:17
  so
• 40:18
  much
• 40:18
  of
• 40:18
  it
• 40:18
  was
• 40:18
  because
• 40:19
  this
• 40:19
  woman
• 40:19
  talked
• 40:20
  to
• 40:20
  her
• 40:20
  child
• 40:21
  all
• 40:21
  the
• 40:21
  time.
• 40:21
  She
• 40:22
  yapped,
• 40:22
  yap,
• 40:23
  yap,
• 40:23
  yap.
• 40:23
  And
• 40:23
  so
• 40:24
  talking
• 40:25
  to
• 40:25
  your
• 40:25
  child,
• 40:26
  it
• 40:26
  pays
• 40:26
  off.
• 40:28
  You
• 40:28
  know,
• 40:28
  I
• 40:29
  talk
• 40:29
  about.
• 40:29
  In
• 40:29
  the
• 40:29
  book,
• 40:30
  you
• 40:30
  want
• 40:30
  to
• 40:31
  always
• 40:31
  explain
• 40:32
  why
• 40:32
  to
• 40:32
  your
• 40:33
  child
• 40:33
  about
• 40:33
  everything.
• 40:34
  Because
• 40:35
  even
• 40:35
  though
• 40:36
  you
• 40:36
  may
• 40:36
  not
• 40:36
  think
• 40:37
  they're
• 40:37
  getting
• 40:37
  it,
• 40:38
  they're
• 40:38
  getting
• 40:38
  it.
• 40:38
  I
• 40:39
  hate
• 40:39
  when
• 40:39
  kids
• 40:39
  ask
• 40:39
  why.
• 40:40
  I
• 40:40
  hate
• 40:40
  when
• 40:40
  they
• 40:41
  ask
• 40:41
  it
• 40:41
  over
• 40:41
  and
• 40:41
  over
• 40:41
  again.
• 40:42
  Well,
• 40:42
  they
• 40:42
  will.
• 40:43
  And
• 40:43
  that's
• 40:43
  what
• 40:43
  they.
• 40:44
  That's
• 40:44
  just
• 40:44
  what
• 40:45
  they
• 40:45
  do.
• 40:46
  Why.
• 40:47
  But
• 40:47
  why
• 40:48
  get
• 40:48
  used
• 40:48
  to
• 40:48
  it.
• 40:49
  That's
• 40:49
  what
• 40:50
  they
• 40:50
  do
• 40:51
  anyway.
• 40:51
  So
• 40:52
  what
• 40:52
  I
• 40:52
  do
• 40:52
  is
• 40:52
  I
• 40:53
  give
• 40:53
  you
• 40:53
  lots
• 40:53
  of
• 40:54
  games
• 40:54
  and
• 40:54
  things
• 40:54
  you
• 40:55
  can
• 40:55
  do
• 40:55
  to
• 40:56
  just
• 40:56
  to
• 40:57
  get
• 40:57
  your
• 40:57
  child
• 40:57
  talking
• 40:58
  and
• 40:58
  build
• 40:59
  up
• 40:59
  their
• 40:59
  language
• 41:00
  and
• 41:00
  abilities
• 41:01
  and
• 41:02
  fun
• 41:02
  games.
• 41:02
  So
• 41:02
  I
• 41:03
  hope
• 41:03
  you'll
• 41:03
  play.
• 41:04
  Yeah,
• 41:04
  they
• 41:04
  look
• 41:04
  like
• 41:04
  fun,
• 41:05
  so
• 41:05
  they
• 41:05
  are
• 41:05
  fun.
• 41:06
  I'll
• 41:06
  play
• 41:06
  them.
• 41:06
  I'm
• 41:07
  going
• 41:07
  to
• 41:07
  be
• 41:07
  playing
• 41:07
  them
• 41:07
  with.
• 41:08
  Your
• 41:08
  baby
• 41:08
  as
• 41:08
  much
• 41:09
  as
• 41:09
  you
• 41:09
  want.
• 41:09
  I
• 41:09
  will.
• 41:10
  I
• 41:10
  promise.
• 41:11
  She's
• 41:11
  gonna
• 41:11
  be
• 41:12
  a
• 41:12
  genius.
• 41:13
  She
• 41:13
  already
• 41:14
  is.
• 41:14
  Well,
• 41:15
  she
• 41:15
  already
• 41:15
  is.
• 41:16
  But
• 41:16
  anyway,
• 41:17
  okay.
• 41:17
  Listening
• 41:18
  and
• 41:18
  responding,
• 41:19
  that's
• 41:19
  another
• 41:19
  thing.
• 41:20
  It's
• 41:20
  really
• 41:20
  important
• 41:20
  to
• 41:20
  teach
• 41:21
  your
• 41:21
  kids
• 41:22
  how
• 41:22
  to
• 41:22
  listen.
• 41:23
  And
• 41:23
  so
• 41:23
  I
• 41:23
  talk
• 41:23
  about
• 41:24
  how
• 41:24
  do
• 41:24
  you
• 41:24
  talk
• 41:24
  to
• 41:25
  your
• 41:25
  child
• 41:25
  so
• 41:25
  they
• 41:26
  will
• 41:26
  listen.
• 41:27
  If
• 41:27
  you're
• 41:27
  gonna
• 41:27
  ignore,
• 41:28
  be
• 41:28
  deliberate.
• 41:30
  Say
• 41:30
  that
• 41:30
  again.
• 41:31
  If
• 41:31
  you're
• 41:31
  ignore
• 41:31
  someone,
• 41:32
  you
• 41:32
  better
• 41:32
  be
• 41:32
  deliberate
• 41:32
  about
• 41:33
  it.
• 41:33
  You
• 41:33
  better
• 41:33
  mean
• 41:33
  it.
• 41:34
  Oh,
• 41:34
  that's.
• 41:35
  That's.
• 41:35
  When
• 41:35
  we
• 41:35
  get
• 41:35
  in
• 41:36
  that.
• 41:36
  We
• 41:36
  will
• 41:36
  get
• 41:36
  into
• 41:37
  that
• 41:37
  in
• 41:37
  discipline.
• 41:38
  That's
• 41:38
  a
• 41:39
  whole
• 41:39
  nother
• 41:39
  story.
• 41:40
  That's
• 41:40
  another
• 41:40
  story.
• 41:41
  But
• 41:41
  when
• 41:41
  you
• 41:41
  want
• 41:42
  your
• 41:42
  child
• 41:42
  to,
• 41:43
  you
• 41:43
  know,
• 41:43
  when
• 41:43
  you
• 41:44
  really
• 41:44
  want
• 41:44
  to
• 41:44
  talk
• 41:44
  to
• 41:44
  your
• 41:44
  child,
• 41:45
  get
• 41:45
  at
• 41:45
  their
• 41:45
  level.
• 41:46
  Make
• 41:46
  eye
• 41:47
  contact.
• 41:47
  Don't
• 41:47
  be
• 41:48
  yelling
• 41:48
  at
• 41:48
  them
• 41:48
  across
• 41:49
  the
• 41:49
  room.
• 41:51
  And
• 41:52
  you
• 41:52
  know,
• 41:52
  always,
• 41:53
  if
• 41:54
  you
• 41:54
  make
• 41:55
  a
• 41:55
  promise
• 41:55
  to
• 41:55
  them
• 41:55
  or
• 41:56
  say
• 41:56
  something
• 41:56
  constantly,
• 41:57
  if
• 41:57
  you
• 41:58
  tell
• 41:58
  them,
• 41:58
  if
• 41:58
  you
• 41:59
  don't
• 41:59
  stop
• 41:59
  this,
• 42:00
  we're
• 42:00
  gonna
• 42:00
  do
• 42:01
  this.
• 42:02
  You
• 42:02
  have
• 42:02
  to
• 42:02
  follow
• 42:03
  through
• 42:03
  on
• 42:03
  your
• 42:03
  promises.
• 42:04
  That
• 42:04
  feels
• 42:04
  like
• 42:04
  a
• 42:05
  different
• 42:05
  book.
• 42:06
  Well,
• 42:06
  this
• 42:06
  is
• 42:07
  not
• 42:07
  a
• 42:07
  book
• 42:07
  about
• 42:07
  discipline.
• 42:08
  No,
• 42:08
  it's
• 42:08
  not.
• 42:09
  But
• 42:10
  I'm
• 42:10
  just
• 42:10
  saying
• 42:10
  you
• 42:10
  want
• 42:11
  your
• 42:11
  child
• 42:11
  to
• 42:11
  know
• 42:11
  that
• 42:12
  when
• 42:12
  you
• 42:12
  talk
• 42:12
  to
• 42:12
  them,
• 42:13
  they
• 42:13
  do
• 42:13
  need
• 42:13
  to
• 42:13
  listen
• 42:14
  and
• 42:14
  they
• 42:14
  do
• 42:14
  need
• 42:15
  to
• 42:16
  do
• 42:16
  what
• 42:16
  you
• 42:17
  say
• 42:18
  generally.
• 42:19
  That's
• 42:20
  what
• 42:20
  we
• 42:20
  want
• 42:20
  them
• 42:20
  to
• 42:20
  do.
• 42:22
  And
• 42:22
  I
• 42:22
  have
• 42:22
  lots
• 42:22
  of
• 42:22
  listening
• 42:23
  games
• 42:23
  in
• 42:23
  there.
• 42:24
  And
• 42:24
  they're
• 42:24
  games
• 42:24
  that
• 42:25
  you
• 42:25
  probably
• 42:25
  would
• 42:25
  have
• 42:25
  already
• 42:26
  played
• 42:26
  with
• 42:26
  your
• 42:26
  child,
• 42:27
  but
• 42:27
  you
• 42:27
  never
• 42:27
  even
• 42:28
  thought
• 42:28
  of
• 42:28
  them
• 42:28
  as
• 42:28
  listening
• 42:29
  games
• 42:29
  like
• 42:30
  Red
• 42:30
  Light,
• 42:30
  Green
• 42:30
  Light,
• 42:31
  or
• 42:32
  Simon
• 42:32
  Says.
• 42:33
  I
• 42:33
  mean,
• 42:33
  those
• 42:34
  are
• 42:34
  all
• 42:34
  listening
• 42:34
  games.
• 42:35
  Yeah.
• 42:35
  And
• 42:35
  you.
• 42:36
  You
• 42:36
  distinguish
• 42:37
  between
• 42:37
  listening
• 42:37
  and
• 42:38
  hearing,
• 42:38
  whereas
• 42:38
  hearing
• 42:38
  is
• 42:39
  a
• 42:39
  passive
• 42:39
  thing.
• 42:40
  Listening
• 42:40
  requires
• 42:41
  processing
• 42:42
  and
• 42:42
  focus.
• 42:43
  It
• 42:44
  does.
• 42:44
  It's.
• 42:44
  Listening
• 42:45
  is
• 42:45
  a
• 42:45
  very
• 42:45
  complicated
• 42:47
  process,
• 42:48
  much
• 42:48
  different
• 42:48
  from
• 42:49
  hearing.
• 42:49
  In
• 42:50
  acting
• 42:50
  school,
• 42:50
  we
• 42:50
  spend
• 42:51
  three
• 42:51
  months
• 42:51
  learning
• 42:52
  to
• 42:52
  listen.
• 42:52
  Really?
• 42:53
  Wow,
• 42:55
  that's
• 42:55
  amazing.
• 42:56
  And
• 42:56
  then
• 42:56
  we
• 42:56
  talk
• 42:56
  about
• 42:57
  memory
• 42:57
  again
• 42:58
  and
• 42:59
  again.
• 42:59
  I
• 42:59
  give
• 42:59
  you
• 43:00
  lots
• 43:00
  of
• 43:00
  games
• 43:00
  to
• 43:01
  play.
• 43:02
  Silly
• 43:02
  Sally.
• 43:03
  Do
• 43:03
  you
• 43:03
  remember
• 43:03
  Silly
• 43:04
  Sally?
• 43:05
  I
• 43:05
  used
• 43:05
  to
• 43:05
  play
• 43:05
  that
• 43:06
  with
• 43:06
  you
• 43:06
  all
• 43:06
  the
• 43:06
  time.
• 43:06
  What
• 43:06
  is
• 43:07
  it?
• 43:07
  Okay,
• 43:07
  it
• 43:07
  would
• 43:07
  be
• 43:08
  like,
• 43:08
  Silly
• 43:09
  Sally
• 43:10
  is
• 43:10
  so
• 43:11
  silly.
• 43:12
  She
• 43:12
  washed
• 43:13
  her
• 43:13
  hair
• 43:13
  with
• 43:13
  chocolate
• 43:14
  pudding
• 43:15
  and
• 43:15
  brushed
• 43:15
  her
• 43:16
  teeth
• 43:16
  with
• 43:16
  peanut
• 43:17
  butter.
• 43:17
  What's
• 43:18
  silly
• 43:18
  about
• 43:18
  that?
• 43:18
  And
• 43:19
  you
• 43:19
  guys
• 43:19
  would
• 43:19
  just
• 43:20
  burst
• 43:20
  out
• 43:20
  laughing.
• 43:21
  It
• 43:21
  was
• 43:21
  the
• 43:21
  funniest
• 43:21
  thing.
• 43:22
  Silly
• 43:22
  Sally
• 43:22
  sounds
• 43:23
  like
• 43:23
  a
• 43:23
  mess.
• 43:23
  No,
• 43:24
  I
• 43:24
  know,
• 43:24
  but
• 43:25
  the
• 43:25
  reason
• 43:25
  it's
• 43:26
  a
• 43:26
  memory
• 43:26
  is
• 43:27
  because
• 43:27
  you
• 43:27
  remember
• 43:28
  that.
• 43:28
  No,
• 43:28
  you
• 43:29
  don't
• 43:29
  wash
• 43:29
  your
• 43:29
  hair
• 43:29
  with
• 43:30
  chocolate
• 43:30
  pudding.
• 43:30
  Sounds
• 43:31
  like
• 43:31
  Silly
• 43:31
  Sally
• 43:31
  likes
• 43:32
  to
• 43:32
  swim
• 43:32
  in
• 43:32
  the
• 43:32
  East
• 43:32
  River.
• 43:33
  Well,
• 43:33
  so
• 43:33
  I
• 43:33
  come
• 43:33
  up
• 43:34
  with
• 43:34
  all
• 43:34
  these
• 43:34
  ridiculous
• 43:35
  things,
• 43:35
  and
• 43:35
  the
• 43:36
  kids
• 43:36
  think
• 43:36
  it's
• 43:36
  funny,
• 43:37
  but
• 43:37
  it's
• 43:37
  because
• 43:38
  they
• 43:38
  know
• 43:38
  what
• 43:39
  real
• 43:39
  life
• 43:40
  is
• 43:40
  like
• 43:40
  and
• 43:41
  that
• 43:41
  this
• 43:41
  isn't
• 43:41
  real.
• 43:41
  And
• 43:42
  so
• 43:42
  it's
• 43:42
  crazy.
• 43:43
  It's
• 43:43
  a
• 43:43
  memory
• 43:43
  game.
• 43:44
  Okay.
• 43:44
  All
• 43:44
  right.
• 43:44
  I
• 43:44
  like
• 43:45
  that.
• 43:45
  And
• 43:45
  I
• 43:45
  have
• 43:45
  a
• 43:45
  bunch
• 43:45
  of
• 43:46
  memory
• 43:46
  games
• 43:46
  in
• 43:46
  here
• 43:47
  that
• 43:47
  you
• 43:47
  can
• 43:47
  play
• 43:47
  with
• 43:47
  kids.
• 43:48
  They
• 43:48
  love
• 43:48
  them.
• 43:48
  And
• 43:49
  you
• 43:49
  can
• 43:49
  just
• 43:49
  build
• 43:49
  their
• 43:50
  memory.
• 43:50
  Okay,
• 43:51
  mask.
• 43:52
  Now.
• 43:53
  Math.
• 43:53
  This
• 43:53
  is
• 43:53
  interesting.
• 43:54
  Math
• 43:55
  is.
• 43:55
  Is
• 43:56
  learned
• 43:57
  through
• 43:57
  language
• 43:58
  when
• 43:58
  children
• 43:58
  are
• 43:58
  little.
• 43:59
  So
• 44:00
  it's
• 44:00
  not
• 44:00
  like
• 44:01
  sitting
• 44:01
  down
• 44:01
  and
• 44:01
  going
• 44:01
  to
• 44:02
  Kumon.
• 44:03
  I
• 44:03
  know.
• 44:03
  You
• 44:04
  hated
• 44:04
  Kumon.
• 44:04
  Hated
• 44:05
  Kumon.
• 44:05
  I
• 44:05
  know,
• 44:06
  I
• 44:06
  know.
• 44:06
  It's
• 44:06
  not
• 44:06
  like
• 44:07
  that.
• 44:07
  It's
• 44:07
  like
• 44:07
  math
• 44:08
  is
• 44:08
  learned
• 44:09
  through
• 44:09
  language.
• 44:10
  And
• 44:10
  so
• 44:10
  the
• 44:11
  smell
• 44:11
  of
• 44:11
  my
• 44:11
  Kumon
• 44:12
  just,
• 44:12
  like,
• 44:12
  overcame
• 44:13
  me.
• 44:15
  Did
• 44:15
  you
• 44:15
  just
• 44:15
  remember
• 44:15
  that
• 44:16
  I'm
• 44:16
  having
• 44:16
  a
• 44:16
  trauma
• 44:17
  response?
• 44:17
  No,
• 44:18
  it's
• 44:18
  a
• 44:19
  long
• 44:19
  term
• 44:19
  memory
• 44:20
  that's
• 44:20
  coming
• 44:21
  in
• 44:21
  through
• 44:21
  your
• 44:21
  nose.
• 44:22
  My
• 44:22
  PTSD
• 44:23
  is
• 44:23
  like
• 44:23
  peaking
• 44:23
  right
• 44:24
  now.
• 44:24
  I
• 44:24
  know
• 44:24
  you
• 44:25
  guys
• 44:25
  hated
• 44:25
  it,
• 44:25
  but,
• 44:26
  I
• 44:26
  mean,
• 44:26
  I
• 44:26
  don't
• 44:27
  know.
• 44:27
  Anyway,
• 44:27
  whatever,
• 44:28
  okay,
• 44:29
  Sorry
• 44:29
  I
• 44:30
  abused
• 44:30
  you.
• 44:30
  I
• 44:31
  sent
• 44:31
  you
• 44:31
  to
• 44:31
  Kumon.
• 44:32
  I
• 44:32
  tried
• 44:32
  to
• 44:33
  make
• 44:33
  you
• 44:33
  better.
• 44:33
  You
• 44:34
  didn't
• 44:34
  know
• 44:34
  better.
• 44:35
  Everyone
• 44:35
  was
• 44:36
  going
• 44:36
  to
• 44:36
  Kumon.
• 44:37
  Okay,
• 44:38
  Anyway,
• 44:39
  so
• 44:40
  math
• 44:40
  is
• 44:40
  learned
• 44:40
  through
• 44:41
  language.
• 44:41
  And
• 44:42
  so
• 44:42
  what
• 44:42
  that
• 44:42
  means
• 44:42
  is
• 44:43
  you
• 44:43
  talk
• 44:43
  to
• 44:43
  your
• 44:44
  child
• 44:44
  from
• 44:44
  the
• 44:44
  time
• 44:45
  they're
• 44:45
  very
• 44:45
  little
• 44:46
  about
• 44:46
  math.
• 44:47
  And
• 44:47
  by
• 44:47
  that
• 44:48
  I
• 44:48
  mean
• 44:48
  when
• 44:48
  you're
• 44:49
  giving
• 44:49
  them
• 44:49
  some
• 44:49
  Cheerios
• 44:50
  to
• 44:50
  eat,
• 44:50
  you
• 44:51
  say,
• 44:51
  okay,
• 44:51
  here's
• 44:52
  one
• 44:52
  Cheerio.
• 44:53
  Here's
• 44:54
  another
• 44:54
  Cheerio.
• 44:55
  Oh,
• 44:55
  now
• 44:55
  we
• 44:55
  have
• 44:56
  two
• 44:56
  Cheerios.
• 44:57
  Oh,
• 44:58
  let
• 44:58
  me
• 44:58
  put
• 44:58
  five
• 44:59
  Cheerios
• 44:59
  down.
• 44:59
  Oh,
• 45:00
  you
• 45:00
  can't
• 45:00
  eat
• 45:00
  that
• 45:00
  many.
• 45:01
  I'll
• 45:01
  take
• 45:02
  two
• 45:02
  away.
• 45:02
  How
• 45:03
  many
• 45:03
  do
• 45:03
  we
• 45:03
  have
• 45:03
  now?
• 45:04
  Three.
• 45:04
  You
• 45:05
  know,
• 45:05
  it's
• 45:05
  like
• 45:05
  you're
• 45:06
  talking
• 45:06
  to
• 45:07
  them
• 45:07
  about
• 45:07
  it,
• 45:08
  or
• 45:08
  you're
• 45:09
  walking
• 45:09
  down
• 45:09
  the
• 45:09
  street
• 45:10
  and
• 45:10
  you
• 45:10
  say,
• 45:10
  how
• 45:11
  many
• 45:11
  steps
• 45:11
  do
• 45:11
  you
• 45:11
  think
• 45:11
  it
• 45:12
  is
• 45:12
  to
• 45:12
  the
• 45:12
  corner?
• 45:13
  And
• 45:13
  let's
• 45:14
  see.
• 45:14
  And
• 45:14
  so
• 45:15
  they
• 45:15
  will
• 45:16
  learn
• 45:16
  math
• 45:16
  through
• 45:16
  language
• 45:17
  at
• 45:17
  the
• 45:17
  beginning.
• 45:18
  And
• 45:18
  then
• 45:19
  we
• 45:19
  get
• 45:19
  into
• 45:19
  all
• 45:19
  kinds
• 45:20
  of
• 45:20
  things
• 45:20
  like
• 45:21
  pattern
• 45:21
  sequences,
• 45:22
  ordering,
• 45:24
  sorting.
• 45:24
  And
• 45:24
  I
• 45:25
  give
• 45:25
  you
• 45:25
  lots
• 45:25
  of
• 45:25
  games
• 45:26
  to
• 45:26
  play
• 45:26
  for
• 45:27
  math.
• 45:28
  And
• 45:28
  then
• 45:29
  visual
• 45:29
  spatial
• 45:29
  reasoning.
• 45:31
  You
• 45:31
  know,
• 45:32
  we
• 45:32
  talk
• 45:32
  about,
• 45:33
  you
• 45:34
  know,
• 45:34
  what
• 45:34
  that
• 45:34
  is
• 45:35
  all
• 45:35
  about.
• 45:37
  And,
• 45:38
  you
• 45:38
  know,
• 45:38
  letters,
• 45:39
  charts,
• 45:40
  shapes
• 45:41
  and

  games
• 45:41
  you

  can

  Oh,

  that

  can.
• 45:49
  If
• 45:49
  they
• 45:49
  have
• 45:49
  other
• 45:49
  exercises
• 45:50

  Is

  Yes.

  Teen,

  not,

  but

  effective.
• 46:15
  No,
• 46:15
  it's
• 46:15
  not
• 46:15
  good.
• 46:17
  You

  didn't.
• 46:18
  Shouldn't

  Well,

  you're
• 46:25
  gonna
• 46:25
  end
• 46:25
  up
• 46:25
  on
• 46:26
  the
• 46:26
  dark
• 46:26
  web.
• 46:26
  Oh,
• 46:27
  okay.
• 46:27
  People
• 46:28
  are
• 46:28
  gonna
• 46:28
  start
• 46:28
  impersonating
• 46:29
  you.
• 46:29
  People
• 46:30
  can.
• 46:31
  Okay,
• 46:31
  then
• 46:31
  I
• 46:31
  won't
• 46:32
  say
• 46:32
  I
• 46:32
  was
• 46:32

• 46:33
  my
• 46:33
  business

  one,
• 46:34
  but.
• 46:34
  No,

  you
• 46:35
  can
• 46:35
  give
• 46:35
  out
• 46:35
  your
• 46:35
  business
• 46:35
  one,
• 46:36
  I
• 46:36
  guess,
• 46:36
  because
• 46:36
  that's,
• 46:37
  like,
• 46:37
  public
• 46:37
  enough.
• 46:38
  All
• 46:38
  right,
• 46:38
  Karen
• 46:39
  testingmom.com
• 46:41
  if
• 46:41
  you
• 46:41
  want
• 46:42
  to
• 46:42
  write
• 46:42
  to

  me
• 46:43
  about
• 46:44
  anything,
• 46:45
  anything.
• 46:45
  But
• 46:46
  don't
• 46:46
  write
• 46:46
  to
• 46:47
  me
• 46:47
  at
• 46:47
  aol.
• 46:48
  That's
• 46:48
  in
• 46:48
  the
• 46:48
  book.
• 46:48
  Okay.
• 46:49
  Bad
• 46:49
  address,
• 46:50
  not
• 46:51
  current.
• 46:51
  Bad
• 46:51
  idea.
• 46:52
  Okay.
• 46:53
  Okay,
• 46:54
  so.
• 46:54
  And
• 46:55
  I
• 46:55
  know
• 46:55
  you
• 46:55
  said
• 46:56
  that,
• 46:56
  you
• 46:56
  know,
• 46:56
  I
• 46:57
  mentioned
• 46:57
  that
• 46:57
  if
• 46:57
  kids
• 46:58
  have
• 46:58
  visual
• 46:58
  spatial
• 46:59
  reasoning
• 46:59
  issues,
• 47:00
  they
• 47:00
  often
• 47:00
  don't
• 47:01
  like
• 47:01
  to
• 47:01
  color
• 47:01
  or
• 47:02
  draw
• 47:03
  or
• 47:03
  do
• 47:03
  puzzles
• 47:04
  or
• 47:04
  blocks.
• 47:05
  And
• 47:05
  so
• 47:05
  if
• 47:05
  your
• 47:06
  child
• 47:06
  does
• 47:06
  not
• 47:06
  like
• 47:07
  to
• 47:07
  do
• 47:07
  those
• 47:07
  things,
• 47:08
  you
• 47:08
  know,
• 47:08
  you
• 47:08
  might
• 47:09
  start
• 47:09
  asking
• 47:09
  yourself,
• 47:10
  hmm,
• 47:11
  maybe
• 47:11
  their
• 47:12
  visual
• 47:13
  spatial
• 47:13
  reasoning
• 47:13
  skills
• 47:14
  aren't
• 47:14
  so
• 47:14
  good.
• 47:14
  You
• 47:15
  know,
• 47:15
  I
• 47:15
  mean,
• 47:15
  if.
• 47:15
  If.
• 47:16
  If
• 47:16
  your
• 47:16
  child
• 47:17
  avoids
• 47:18
  doing
• 47:19
  any
• 47:19
  particular
• 47:20
  area
• 47:21
  that
• 47:21
  I'm
• 47:22
  talking
• 47:22
  about
• 47:22
  here.
• 47:23
  Just
• 47:23
  seems
• 47:23
  to
• 47:23
  hate
• 47:24
  it.
• 47:24
  Yeah.
• 47:24
  There
• 47:25
  could
• 47:25
  be
• 47:25
  some
• 47:25
  issues
• 47:26
  down
• 47:26
  the
• 47:26
  pike
• 47:26
  with
• 47:27
  that.
• 47:27
  You
• 47:27
  know,
• 47:27
  something
• 47:28
  to
• 47:28
  think
• 47:28
  about.
• 47:29
  Okay.
• 47:30
  Cognitive
• 47:30
  skills.
• 47:31
  Cognitive
• 47:31
  skills.
• 47:32
  Okay,
• 47:32
  those.
• 47:33
  Now
• 47:33
  kids
• 47:33
  are
• 47:34
  super
• 47:34
  curious.
• 47:35
  They
• 47:35
  ask
• 47:35
  lots
• 47:36
  of
• 47:36
  questions.
• 47:37
  They,
• 47:37
  they
• 47:38
  observe
• 47:38
  things
• 47:39
  and
• 47:39
  they
• 47:39
  ask
• 47:39
  the
• 47:40
  craziest
• 47:40
  kinds.
• 47:41
  And
• 47:41
  you
• 47:42
  should
• 47:42
  encourage
• 47:43
  curiosity.
• 47:44
  That
• 47:44
  is
• 47:44
  a
• 47:44
  sign
• 47:45
  of
• 47:45
  intelligence.
• 47:46
  In
• 47:46
  fact,
• 47:46
  it's
• 47:46
  probably
• 47:47
  the
• 47:47
  single
• 47:47
  most
• 47:47
  important
• 47:48
  sign
• 47:48
  of
• 47:48
  intelligence.
• 47:49
  Gifted
• 47:50
  kids
• 47:50
  are
• 47:50
  very
• 47:50
  curious.
• 47:52
  That
• 47:52
  is
• 47:52
  true.
• 47:53
  I
• 47:53
  mean,
• 47:53
  they
• 47:53
  ask
• 47:54
  really
• 47:54
  silly
• 47:55
  questions
• 47:55
  like
• 47:56
  why
• 47:56
  do
• 47:56
  bees
• 47:57
  talk
• 47:57
  in
• 47:57
  their.
• 47:57
  Or
• 47:58
  do
• 47:58
  bees
• 47:59
  talk
• 47:59
  in
• 47:59
  their
• 48:00
  hives?
• 48:00
  And
• 48:00
  what
• 48:00
  do
• 48:00
  they
• 48:01
  talk
• 48:01
  about?
• 48:01
  And
• 48:02
  do
• 48:02
  ants
• 48:02
  elect
• 48:03
  a
• 48:03
  president?
• 48:03
  I
• 48:03
  mean,
• 48:04
  they're
• 48:04
  so
• 48:04
  like
• 48:05
  they're
• 48:05
  observing
• 48:05
  the
• 48:06
  world
• 48:06
  and
• 48:06
  they're
• 48:06
  trying
• 48:06
  to
• 48:07
  figure
• 48:07
  it
• 48:07
  all
• 48:07
  out.
• 48:07
  And
• 48:08
  that's
• 48:08
  why
• 48:08
  they
• 48:08
  ask
• 48:09
  these
• 48:09
  kind
• 48:09
  of
• 48:09
  questions,
• 48:09
  crazy
• 48:10
  questions.
• 48:11
  And
• 48:11
  you
• 48:11
  want
• 48:12
  to
• 48:12
  like,
• 48:13
  talk
• 48:13
  to
• 48:13
  them
• 48:14
  about
• 48:14
  it.
• 48:14
  If
• 48:15
  you
• 48:15
  don't
• 48:15
  know
• 48:15
  the
• 48:15
  answer,
• 48:16
  you
• 48:16
  can
• 48:16
  do
• 48:17
  research
• 48:17
  together.
• 48:18
  Talk
• 48:18
  it
• 48:18
  through.
• 48:19
  Absolutely.
• 48:21
  And
• 48:21
  the
• 48:21
  best
• 48:21
  thing
• 48:22
  you
• 48:22
  can
• 48:22
  do
• 48:22
  to
• 48:22
  build
• 48:23
  cognitive
• 48:23
  skills,
• 48:24
  I
• 48:24
  think
• 48:24
  just
• 48:25
  let
• 48:25
  your
• 48:25
  kids
• 48:26
  play
• 48:26
  and
• 48:26
  stay
• 48:27
  out
• 48:27
  of
• 48:27
  it.
• 48:28
  Give
• 48:28
  them
• 48:28
  open
• 48:29
  ended
• 48:29
  toys.
• 48:30
  And
• 48:30
  by
• 48:31
  that
• 48:31
  I
• 48:31
  mean
• 48:31
  toys
• 48:32
  that
• 48:32
  don't
• 48:32
  do
• 48:32
  just
• 48:33
  one
• 48:33
  thing,
• 48:33
  but
• 48:34
  things
• 48:34
  like
• 48:35
  Legos
• 48:35
  or
• 48:35
  Lincoln
• 48:36
  Logs.
• 48:37
  I
• 48:37
  like
• 48:37
  that
• 48:37
  company
• 48:37
  lovevery,
• 48:38
  because
• 48:39
  they
• 48:39
  have,
• 48:39
  every
• 48:40
  month
• 48:40
  they'll
• 48:40
  send
• 48:40
  up
• 48:41
  us
• 48:41
  like
• 48:42
  a
• 48:42
  couple
• 48:42
  new
• 48:42
  toys
• 48:43
  about
• 48:43
  where
• 48:43
  she
• 48:43
  is
• 48:43
  developmentally.
• 48:45
  And
• 48:45
  there's
• 48:45
  like
• 48:45
  20
• 48:45
  million
• 48:46
  things
• 48:46
  you
• 48:46
  can
• 48:46
  do
• 48:46
  with
• 48:47
  them.
• 48:47
  And
• 48:47
  then
• 48:47
  as
• 48:47
  they
• 48:48
  grow
• 48:48
  up,
• 48:48
  there's
• 48:48
  new
• 48:49
  things
• 48:49
  that
• 48:49
  they
• 48:49
  can
• 48:50
  do.
• 48:50
  That's
• 48:50
  great
• 48:50
  with
• 48:51
  these
• 48:51
  toys.
• 48:51
  That's
• 48:51
  like
• 48:51
  that
• 48:51
  play
• 48:52
  mat
• 48:52
  that
• 48:52
  we
• 48:52
  have.
• 48:53
  Oh,
• 48:53
  okay.
• 48:54
  I
• 48:54
  love
• 48:54
  that.
• 48:54
  That's
• 48:55
  really,
• 48:55
  really
• 48:55
  good.
• 48:56
  Yeah,
• 48:56
  you
• 48:57
  want
• 48:57
  them
• 48:57
  to
• 48:57
  just
• 48:58
  play
• 48:58
  and
• 48:58
  you
• 48:59
  kind
• 48:59
  of
• 48:59
  want
• 48:59
  to
• 48:59
  stay
• 48:59
  out
• 49:00
  of
• 49:00
  it.
• 49:00
  Let
• 49:00
  them
• 49:01
  use
• 49:01
  their
• 49:01
  imagination
• 49:03
  later
• 49:04
  as
• 49:04
  they
• 49:04
  get
• 49:05
  older,
• 49:05
  you
• 49:05
  know,
• 49:06
  free
• 49:06
  play
• 49:06
  is
• 49:06
  the
• 49:07
  best
• 49:07
  thing
• 49:07
  you
• 49:07
  can
• 49:07
  let
• 49:08
  them
• 49:08
  do.
• 49:09
  Play
• 49:09
  on
• 49:09
  the
• 49:09
  playground,
• 49:10
  fantasy
• 49:11
  play
• 49:11
  with
• 49:12
  props
• 49:12
  and,
• 49:12
  and
• 49:13
  things
• 49:13
  like
• 49:13
  that.
• 49:14
  I
• 49:14
  mean,
• 49:14
  they
• 49:14
  learn
• 49:14
  to
• 49:15
  solve
• 49:15
  problems.
• 49:16
  They
• 49:16
  learn,
• 49:17
  you
• 49:17
  know,
• 49:17
  to
• 49:17
  plan
• 49:18
  things,
• 49:18
  they
• 49:19
  organize
• 49:19
  things.
• 49:20
  They,
• 49:20
  they
• 49:20
  get
• 49:20
  leadership
• 49:21
  skills.
• 49:21
  It's
• 49:22
  just
• 49:22
  so
• 49:22
  important
• 49:23
  you
• 49:23
  learn
• 49:23
  to.
• 49:23
  Be
• 49:24
  bossy
• 49:24
  on
• 49:24
  a
• 49:24
  playground.
• 49:24
  Yes,
• 49:25
  you
• 49:25
  do.
• 49:25
  That's
• 49:26
  right.
• 49:26
  Fine
• 49:27
  motor
• 49:27
  skills.
• 49:28
  That's
• 49:28
  another
• 49:28
  one.
• 49:30
  Set
• 49:30
  up
• 49:30
  a
• 49:30
  little
• 49:30
  craft
• 49:31
  station
• 49:31
  at
• 49:32
  your
• 49:32
  house.
• 49:32
  There
• 49:33
  will
• 49:33
  be
• 49:33
  no
• 49:33
  craft
• 49:33
  station
• 49:34
  at
• 49:34
  my
• 49:34
  house.
• 49:35
  You
• 49:35
  need
• 49:35
  a
• 49:36
  craft
• 49:36
  station.
• 49:36
  I
• 49:37
  don't
• 49:37
  want
• 49:37
  craft
• 49:37
  stations
• 49:38
  ending
• 49:38
  up
• 49:38
  in
• 49:39
  my
• 49:39
  rug,
• 49:40
  on
• 49:40
  my
• 49:40
  walls,
• 49:41
  on
• 49:41
  my
• 49:41
  mirrors.
• 49:42
  Your
• 49:42
  kids,
• 49:43
  the
• 49:43
  fact
• 49:43
  that
• 49:43
  you
• 49:43
  gave.
• 49:44
  Us
• 49:44
  glitter
• 49:44
  glue
• 49:45
  is
• 49:46
  an
• 49:46
  abomination.
• 49:47
  Well,
• 49:47
  you
• 49:47
  could
• 49:48
  supervise
• 49:48
  if
• 49:48
  you
• 49:49
  want.
• 49:49
  But
• 49:49
  yeah,
• 49:49
  I
• 49:50
  guess
• 49:50
  it's
• 49:50
  like
• 49:50
  crafts
• 49:51
  have
• 49:51
  to
• 49:51
  be
• 49:51
  on
• 49:51
  a
• 49:51
  shelf
• 49:52
  that
• 49:52
  only
• 49:52
  I
• 49:52
  can
• 49:53
  reach.
• 49:53
  Well,
• 49:54
  okay,

  but,
• 49:54
  but
• 49:55
  kids
• 49:55
  love

  Not

  be

  a

  very
• 49:56
  high
• 49:57
  shelf.

  No,

  but,
• 49:58
  okay,
• 49:59
  but
• 49:59
  kids,
• 50:00
  you
• 50:00
  know,
• 50:00
  let
• 50:00
  them,
• 50:01
  if
• 50:01
  they
• 50:01
  cut,
• 50:01
  they're
• 50:02
  building
• 50:02
  their
• 50:02
  fine
• 50:02
  Motor
• 50:03
  skills.
• 50:03
  When
• 50:04
  is
• 50:04
  it
• 50:04
  safe
• 50:04
  to
• 50:04
  get
• 50:04
  kids.
• 50:05
  Kids
• 50:05
  scissors?
• 50:06
  Well,
• 50:06
  you
• 50:06
  give
• 50:06
  them
• 50:06
  safety
• 50:07
  scissors.
• 50:07
  You
• 50:08
  know,
• 50:08
  when
• 50:08
  is
• 50:08
  it
• 50:08
  safe
• 50:08
  to
• 50:08
  give
• 50:08
  kids.
• 50:09
  Give
• 50:09
  kids
• 50:10
  safety
• 50:11
  scissors?
• 50:11
  Maybe
• 50:12
  about
• 50:13
  three
• 50:13
  to
• 50:14
  two
• 50:14
  and
• 50:14
  a
• 50:14
  half.
• 50:14
  3.
• 50:15
  How
• 50:15
  do
• 50:15
  you
• 50:16
  prevent
• 50:16
  them
• 50:16
  from
• 50:16
  cutting
• 50:17
  their
• 50:17
  own
• 50:17
  hair?
• 50:18
  Well,
• 50:18
  safety
• 50:19
  scissors,
• 50:19
  I
• 50:19
  don't
• 50:19
  think
• 50:20
  will
• 50:20
  cut
• 50:20
  your
• 50:20
  hair.
• 50:20
  I
• 50:21
  doubt
• 50:21
  that.
• 50:22
  If
• 50:22
  they
• 50:22
  can
• 50:22
  cut
• 50:22
  paper,
• 50:23
  they
• 50:23
  can
• 50:23
  probably
• 50:23
  cut
• 50:23
  hair.
• 50:24
  Well,
• 50:24
  hopefully
• 50:24
  she
• 50:25
  will
• 50:25
  have
• 50:25
  hair.
• 50:25
  Right
• 50:26
  now
• 50:26
  she
• 50:26
  has
• 50:26
  no
• 50:26
  hair.
• 50:27
  She
• 50:27
  has
• 50:27
  three
• 50:28
  hairs,
• 50:28
  and
• 50:29
  I
• 50:29
  put
• 50:29
  them
• 50:29
  in
• 50:29
  a
• 50:30
  ponytail
• 50:30
  just
• 50:30
  yesterday.
• 50:31
  I
• 50:31
  will
• 50:31
  have.
• 50:32
  You
• 50:32
  know,
• 50:32
  it's
• 50:32
  really
• 50:32
  cute.
• 50:33
  Cute,
• 50:33
  but
• 50:33
  okay.
• 50:34
  But
• 50:35
  craft
• 50:35
  supplies,
• 50:36
  really
• 50:36
  important.
• 50:37
  Let
• 50:37
  them
• 50:38
  create.
• 50:39
  Let
• 50:39
  them
• 50:40
  build
• 50:40
  their
• 50:40
  fine
• 50:41
  motor
• 50:41
  skills.
• 50:41
  Let
• 50:42
  them
• 50:42
  cog.
• 50:42
  It's
• 50:43
  all.
• 50:43
  Cognitive
• 50:44
  development
• 50:44
  is
• 50:44
  great.
• 50:45
  So.
• 50:46
  And.
• 50:46
  And.
• 50:46
  And,
• 50:47
  you
• 50:47
  know,
• 50:47
  it's.
• 50:48
  You
• 50:48
  used
• 50:49
  to
• 50:49
  love
• 50:49
  your
• 50:49
  craft
• 50:50
  corner.
• 50:50
  I
• 50:50
  can't
• 50:51
  believe
• 50:51
  my
• 50:51
  craft
• 50:52
  corner.
• 50:53
  Maybe
• 50:53
  they
• 50:53
  can
• 50:53
  have
• 50:54
  watercolors,
• 50:54
  because
• 50:54
  you
• 50:55
  can't
• 50:55
  do
• 50:55
  that
• 50:55
  much
• 50:55
  damage
• 50:56
  with
• 50:56
  water.
• 50:56
  Right.
• 50:57
  Just
• 50:57
  make
• 50:57
  sure
• 50:58
  you
• 50:58
  paint
• 50:58
  her
• 50:59
  room
• 50:59
  with
• 50:59
  something
• 50:59
  that
• 51:00
  paint.
• 51:00
  Paints
• 51:00
  that
• 51:01
  if
• 51:01
  they
• 51:01
  cr.
• 51:01
  If
• 51:01
  they
• 51:02
  draw
• 51:02
  on
• 51:02
  it,
• 51:02
  it'll
• 51:03
  come
• 51:03
  off.
• 51:03
  Little
• 51:03
  known
• 51:04
  fact
• 51:04
  about
• 51:04
  my
• 51:04
  mom.
• 51:05
  My
• 51:05
  mom
• 51:05
  is
• 51:06
  a
• 51:06
  gifted
• 51:07
  visual
• 51:07
  artist.
• 51:08
  And
• 51:08
  when
• 51:08
  my
• 51:09
  brother
• 51:09
  and
• 51:09
  I
• 51:09
  were
• 51:09
  really
• 51:10
  little,
• 51:10
  we
• 51:10
  moved
• 51:11
  into
• 51:11
  a
• 51:11
  new
• 51:11
  apartment.
• 51:12
  And
• 51:12
  to
• 51:12
  settle
• 51:12
  us
• 51:13
  into
• 51:13
  our
• 51:13
  new
• 51:13
  apartment,
• 51:13
  we
• 51:14
  were
• 51:14
  obsessed
• 51:14
  with
• 51:14
  Pokemon.
• 51:15
  You
• 51:15
  painted
• 51:16
  us
• 51:16
  a
• 51:17
  Pokemon
• 51:17
  mural.
• 51:17
  I
• 51:18
  did.
• 51:18
  And
• 51:18
  it
• 51:18
  was
• 51:19
  the
• 51:19
  talk
• 51:19
  of
• 51:20
  the
• 51:20
  school.
• 51:20
  Was
• 51:20
  it?
• 51:21
  Yes.
• 51:21
  When
• 51:21
  people
• 51:21
  came
• 51:22
  to
• 51:22
  see
• 51:22
  our
• 51:23
  Pokemon
• 51:23
  mural,
• 51:23
  I
• 51:23
  was
• 51:23
  like,
• 51:24
  yeah,
• 51:24
  my
• 51:24
  mom
• 51:24
  did
• 51:24
  that.
• 51:25
  Oh,
• 51:25
  wow.
• 51:25
  I
• 51:26
  didn't
• 51:26
  think
• 51:26
  it
• 51:26
  was
• 51:26
  that
• 51:26
  good.
• 51:27
  It
• 51:27
  was.
• 51:27
  We
• 51:27
  were
• 51:28
  obsessed.
• 51:29
  I
• 51:29
  wish
• 51:29
  we
• 51:29
  had
• 51:29
  a
• 51:30
  picture
• 51:30
  of
• 51:30
  it.
• 51:30
  I
• 51:30
  wish
• 51:31
  I'd
• 51:31
  taken.
• 51:31
  Also,
• 51:31
  I
• 51:32
  wanted
• 51:33
  the
• 51:33
  Only.
• 51:34
  The
• 51:34
  worst
• 51:34
  fight
• 51:34
  my
• 51:35
  parents
• 51:35
  ever
• 51:35
  got
• 51:35
  in
• 51:36
  was
• 51:36
  over
• 51:36
  this
• 51:37
  tree
• 51:37
  house
• 51:37
  that
• 51:37
  I
• 51:38
  wanted
• 51:38
  in
• 51:38
  my
• 51:38
  bedroom.
• 51:39
  And
• 51:39
  my
• 51:39
  mom
• 51:39
  was
• 51:39
  obsessed.
• 51:40
  She's
• 51:40
  like,
• 51:40
  we're
• 51:40
  gonna
• 51:40
  get
• 51:41
  this
• 51:41
  tree
• 51:41
  house.
• 51:41
  And
• 51:42
  then
• 51:42
  the
• 51:42
  architect
• 51:43
  didn't
• 51:43
  think
• 51:43
  it
• 51:43
  was
• 51:43
  structurally
• 51:44
  sound,
• 51:44
  although
• 51:45
  my
• 51:45
  brother's
• 51:45
  bed
• 51:45
  had
• 51:45
  a
• 51:45
  slide.
• 51:46
  Not
• 51:47
  neither
• 51:47
  here
• 51:47
  nor
• 51:47
  there,
• 51:48
  but
• 51:48
  anyway,
• 51:48
  they
• 51:49
  got
• 51:49
  in
• 51:49
  this
• 51:49
  huge
• 51:49
  fight
• 51:50
  because
• 51:50
  the
• 51:50
  architect
• 51:51
  was
• 51:51
  like,
• 51:51
  your
• 51:52
  husband
• 51:52
  doesn't
• 51:52
  think
• 51:53
  that
• 51:53
  we
• 51:53
  should
• 51:53
  put
• 51:53
  the
• 51:54
  treehouse
• 51:54
  in.
• 51:54
  And
• 51:55
  my
• 51:55
  mom
• 51:55
  was
• 51:55
  like,
• 51:55
  what?
• 51:56
  I'm
• 51:56
  sorry,
• 51:56
  who?
• 51:57
  Yeah,
• 51:58
  I
• 51:58
  was.
• 51:58
  If
• 51:59
  I
• 51:59
  think
• 51:59
  for
• 51:59
  me,
• 51:59
  what
• 52:00
  I've
• 52:00
  learned
• 52:00
  about
• 52:00
  myself
• 52:01
  is
• 52:01
  the
• 52:01
  worst
• 52:02
  thing
• 52:02
  to
• 52:02
  do
• 52:02
  is
• 52:03
  tell
• 52:03
  me
• 52:03
  what
• 52:04
  I
• 52:04
  can
• 52:04
  and
• 52:04
  can't
• 52:05
  do.
• 52:05
  Yeah.
• 52:06
  And
• 52:06
  also
• 52:06
  than
• 52:06
  to
• 52:06
  tell
• 52:07
  you
• 52:07
  that
• 52:07
  your
• 52:07
  husband.
• 52:08
  My
• 52:08
  husband
• 52:09
  said
• 52:09
  that.
• 52:10
  And
• 52:10
  I
• 52:10
  remember
• 52:10
  calling
• 52:11
  him.
• 52:12
  I
• 52:12
  was
• 52:12
  like,
• 52:12
  thinking,
• 52:13
  I
• 52:13
  can't
• 52:14
  even
• 52:14
  be
• 52:14
  married
• 52:15
  to
• 52:15
  this
• 52:15
  person.
• 52:16
  I
• 52:16
  don't
• 52:16
  even
• 52:17
  know
• 52:17
  who
• 52:18
  you
• 52:18
  are.
• 52:19
  And
• 52:19
  of
• 52:19
  course,
• 52:20
  crazy
• 52:20
  thing
• 52:20
  was,
• 52:20
  he's
• 52:21
  a
• 52:21
  lawyer.
• 52:21
  He
• 52:22
  talked
• 52:22
  me
• 52:22
  off
• 52:23
  the
• 52:23
  ledge.
• 52:23
  He
• 52:24
  calmed
• 52:24
  me
• 52:24
  down,
• 52:24
  and
• 52:25
  I
• 52:25
  thought,
• 52:25
  wow,
• 52:25
  he's
• 52:26
  really
• 52:26
  good
• 52:26
  at
• 52:26
  his
• 52:26
  job,
• 52:27
  you
• 52:27
  know?
• 52:27
  He
• 52:28
  was.
• 52:28
  But
• 52:28
  I
• 52:28
  was,
• 52:29
  like,
• 52:29
  so
• 52:30
  angry.
• 52:30
  I
• 52:30
  couldn't
• 52:31
  believe
• 52:31
  it.
• 52:31
  Cause
• 52:32
  I
• 52:32
  wanted
• 52:32
  that
• 52:32
  tree
• 52:33
  house
• 52:33
  for
• 52:33
  you.
• 52:33
  Yeah.
• 52:34
  And
• 52:34
  then
• 52:34
  I
• 52:34
  just
• 52:34
  ended
• 52:34
  up
• 52:34
  sleeping
• 52:35
  under
• 52:35
  my
• 52:35
  brother's
• 52:36
  bed.
• 52:36
  Anyway.
• 52:37
  That's
• 52:37
  true.
• 52:37
  Anyway.
• 52:39
  All
• 52:39
  right.
• 52:39
  Other
• 52:40
  things
• 52:40
  that
• 52:41
  you
• 52:41
  must
• 52:41
  teach
• 52:41
  your
• 52:41
  kids
• 52:42
  that
• 52:42
  are
• 52:43
  in
• 52:43
  the
• 52:43
  book,
• 52:43
  teach
• 52:44
  them,
• 52:44
  work
• 52:45
  with
• 52:45
  them
• 52:45
  on
• 52:45
  curiosity,
• 52:46
  which
• 52:46
  we
• 52:46
  talked
• 52:47
  about.
• 52:47
  Devotion
• 52:48
  to
• 52:48
  a
• 52:48
  passion.
• 52:48
  If
• 52:49
  there's
• 52:49
  something
• 52:49
  they
• 52:50
  love
• 52:50
  and
• 52:50
  are
• 52:50
  interested
• 52:51
  in,
• 52:52
  whatever
• 52:52
  it
• 52:52
  is,
• 52:53
  support
• 52:54
  it.
• 52:54
  What
• 52:54
  was
• 52:54
  I
• 52:54
  passionate
• 52:55
  about
• 52:55
  when
• 52:55
  I
• 52:55
  was
• 52:55
  little?
• 52:56
  When
• 52:56
  you
• 52:56
  were
• 52:56
  little,
• 52:57
  you
• 52:58
  used
• 52:58
  to
• 52:59
  dress
• 53:01
  fashion.
• 53:02
  I
• 53:02
  would
• 53:02
  say
• 53:02
  fashion.
• 53:03
  You
• 53:03
  were
• 53:03
  very
• 53:04
  fashionable.
• 53:06
  You
• 53:06
  would
• 53:06
  wear
• 53:07
  crazy
• 53:07
  outfits,
• 53:08
  but
• 53:09
  bell
• 53:10
  bottom
• 53:10
  pants.
• 53:11
  You
• 53:11
  were
• 53:11
  known
• 53:11
  as
• 53:11
  the
• 53:11
  most
• 53:12
  fashionable
• 53:12
  kid
• 53:13
  in
• 53:13
  school.
• 53:14
  Yeah,
• 53:14
  you
• 53:14
  were
• 53:15
  really
• 53:15
  into
• 53:15
  that.
• 53:15
  And
• 53:16
  Sam
• 53:16
  was
• 53:16
  really.
• 53:17
  He
• 53:18
  was
• 53:18
  really
• 53:18
  into
• 53:19
  sports.
• 53:20
  I
• 53:20
  mean,
• 53:20
  that
• 53:20
  from
• 53:21
  the
• 53:21
  time
• 53:21
  he
• 53:21
  was
• 53:21
  little,
• 53:21
  and
• 53:22
  he
• 53:22
  actually
• 53:22
  made
• 53:22
  a
• 53:22
  career
• 53:23
  out
• 53:23
  of
• 53:23
  that.
• 53:23
  I
• 53:24
  did
• 53:24
  not
• 53:24
  make
• 53:24
  a
• 53:24
  career
• 53:24
  out
• 53:24
  of
• 53:25
  fashion.
• 53:25
  No,
• 53:25
  you
• 53:25
  didn't.
• 53:26
  But,
• 53:27
  you
• 53:27
  know,
• 53:27
  but.
• 53:28
  But
• 53:28
  whatever.
• 53:28
  We
• 53:28
  supported
• 53:29
  it.
• 53:30
  We
• 53:30
  went
• 53:31
  to
• 53:31
  Space
• 53:31
  cadets.
• 53:32
  Yes.
• 53:32
  That
• 53:32
  was
• 53:32
  the
• 53:32
  store.
• 53:33
  It's
• 53:33
  not
• 53:33
  there
• 53:33
  anymore.
• 53:34
  I
• 53:34
  loved
• 53:34
  it.
• 53:34
  Rest
• 53:34
  in
• 53:35
  peace.
• 53:35
  It
• 53:35
  was
• 53:36
  good.
• 53:36
  And
• 53:36
  then
• 53:37
  persistence
• 53:37
  versus
• 53:38
  a
• 53:38
  growth
• 53:38
  mindset.
• 53:40
  And,
• 53:40
  you
• 53:40
  know,
• 53:41
  don't
• 53:41
  call.
• 53:41
  You
• 53:41
  don't
• 53:42
  want
• 53:42
  to
• 53:42
  call
• 53:42
  your
• 53:42
  child
• 53:43
  Smart.
• 53:43
  Oh,
• 53:44
  you're
• 53:44
  so
• 53:44
  gifted
• 53:45
  and
• 53:45
  brilliant.
• 53:45
  We're
• 53:45
  gonna
• 53:46
  have
• 53:46
  to
• 53:46
  stop
• 53:46
  that
• 53:46
  with
• 53:46
  your
• 53:47
  daughter.
• 53:47
  Never.
• 53:47
  But
• 53:48
  no,
• 53:49
  we
• 53:49
  need
• 53:49
  to
• 53:50
  tell
• 53:50
  her
• 53:50
  how
• 53:51
  she
• 53:51
  works
• 53:52
  hard.
• 53:52
  Oh,
• 53:53
  love
• 53:53
  the
• 53:54
  way
• 53:54
  you
• 53:54
  tried
• 53:54
  to
• 53:54
  do
• 53:55
  that.
• 53:55
  You
• 53:55
  were
• 53:55
  so
• 53:55
  hard.
• 53:56
  You
• 53:56
  would
• 53:56
  do
• 53:56
  so
• 53:56
  well
• 53:57
  in
• 53:57
  a
• 53:57
  coal
• 53:57
  mine.
• 53:59
  But
• 53:59
  anyway,
• 54:00
  we're
• 54:00
  gonna
• 54:00
  do.
• 54:00
  We'll.
• 54:01
  We're
• 54:01
  gonna
• 54:01
  read
• 54:01
  the
• 54:01
  growth
• 54:02
  mindset.
• 54:02
  So.
• 54:03
  But
• 54:03
  that's
• 54:03
  a
• 54:03
  really
• 54:03
  important
• 54:04
  thing
• 54:04
  to
• 54:04
  instill
• 54:05
  in
• 54:05
  a
• 54:05
  child.
• 54:06
  Tolerance
• 54:06
  for
• 54:06
  failure,
• 54:07
  because
• 54:07
  there
• 54:08
  will
• 54:08
  be
• 54:08
  failure
• 54:09
  and
• 54:10
  self
• 54:10
  control.
• 54:11
  Huge.
• 54:11
  Teach
• 54:12
  your
• 54:12
  child
• 54:12
  patience
• 54:13
  and
• 54:14
  teach
• 54:14
  them
• 54:14
  to
• 54:14
  tolerate
• 54:15
  frustration.
• 54:15
  That
• 54:16
  was
• 54:16
  a
• 54:16
  big
• 54:16
  one.
• 54:16
  Because
• 54:17
  life.
• 54:17
  Life
• 54:17
  is
• 54:18
  frustrating.
• 54:18
  Yes,
• 54:19
  absolutely.
• 54:20
  Absolutely.
• 54:21
  That's
• 54:21
  right.
• 54:23
  So
• 54:23
  these
• 54:23
  are.
• 54:24
  These
• 54:24
  are
• 54:24
  all
• 54:24
  things
• 54:24
  that
• 54:25
  we
• 54:25
  talk
• 54:25
  about
• 54:25
  in
• 54:25
  the
• 54:26
  book.
• 54:27
  Then
• 54:27
  I
• 54:28
  talk
• 54:28
  about
• 54:28
  how
• 54:29
  to
• 54:29
  work
• 54:29
  with
• 54:29
  your
• 54:29
  child.
• 54:30
  If
• 54:30
  you
• 54:30
  are
• 54:30
  preparing
• 54:31
  for
• 54:31
  a
• 54:31
  test,
• 54:32
  you
• 54:32
  can
• 54:33
  use
• 54:33
  everything
• 54:34
  that
• 54:34
  I
• 54:34
  lay
• 54:34
  out
• 54:35
  in
• 54:35
  the
• 54:35
  book.
• 54:36
  This.
• 54:36
  Now,
• 54:37
  the
• 54:37
  book
• 54:37
  was
• 54:37
  written
• 54:38
  before
• 54:38
  I
• 54:38
  started
• 54:39
  Testing
• 54:39
  Mom.
• 54:40
  So
• 54:40
  Now
• 54:40
  I
• 54:40
  have
• 54:40
  testingmom.com
• 54:42
  which
• 54:42
  is,
• 54:42
  you
• 54:42
  know,
• 54:42
  that
• 54:43
  that's
• 54:43
  just
• 54:43
  where
• 54:43
  you
• 54:44
  can
• 54:44
  go
• 54:44
  and
• 54:45
  get
• 54:45
  practice
• 54:45
  questions
• 54:46
  for
• 54:46
  any
• 54:47
  test
• 54:47
  your
• 54:47
  child
• 54:47
  might
• 54:48
  be
• 54:48
  taking,
• 54:49
  along
• 54:49
  with
• 54:50
  games
• 54:50
  and
• 54:50
  activities
• 54:51
  you
• 54:51
  can
• 54:51
  do
• 54:52
  to
• 54:52
  prepare
• 54:52
  them
• 54:52
  for
• 54:52
  tests.
• 54:53
  So
• 54:53
  there's
• 54:53
  also
• 54:54
  the
• 54:54
  website,
• 54:54
  which,
• 54:55
  you
• 54:55
  know,
• 54:55
  Testing
• 54:56
  mom
• 54:56
  will
• 54:56
  help
• 54:57
  you
• 54:57
  get
• 54:57
  your
• 54:57
  child
• 54:57
  ready.
• 54:59
  But
• 54:59
  this
• 54:59
  was
• 54:59
  the
• 55:00
  precursor
• 55:00
  to
• 55:00
  Testing
• 55:01
  Mom.
• 55:01
  This
• 55:01
  is
• 55:02
  really
• 55:02
  what
• 55:02
  kind
• 55:02
  of
• 55:03
  led
• 55:03
  to
• 55:03
  testing.
• 55:03
  Mom.
• 55:04
  And
• 55:04
  then
• 55:05
  I
• 55:05
  talk
• 55:06
  about
• 55:06
  gifted
• 55:06
  programs
• 55:07
  in
• 55:07
  schools,
• 55:08
  how
• 55:08
  to
• 55:08
  get
• 55:08
  your
• 55:08
  child
• 55:09
  in,
• 55:09
  how
• 55:09
  to
• 55:09
  find
• 55:10
  out
• 55:10
  all
• 55:10
  about
• 55:10
  the
• 55:10
  ones
• 55:11
  in
• 55:11
  your
• 55:11
  community
• 55:13
  and
• 55:13
  just.
• 55:13
  And
• 55:14
  the
• 55:14
  tests
• 55:14
  you're
• 55:14
  going
• 55:14
  to
• 55:14
  have,
• 55:15
  your
• 55:15
  child
• 55:15
  will
• 55:15
  have
• 55:15
  to
• 55:15
  take,
• 55:16
  how
• 55:16
  to
• 55:16
  get
• 55:16
  them
• 55:16
  ready
• 55:16
  for
• 55:17
  those.
• 55:17
  We
• 55:18
  talk
• 55:18
  about
• 55:18
  private
• 55:18
  school
• 55:19
  admissions,
• 55:20
  just
• 55:20
  the
• 55:20
  whole
• 55:20
  process
• 55:21
  of
• 55:21
  getting
• 55:21
  in.
• 55:22
  People
• 55:22
  go
• 55:23
  feral
• 55:24
  when
• 55:24
  it
• 55:24
  comes
• 55:25
  to
• 55:25
  getting
• 55:25
  their
• 55:25
  kids
• 55:25
  into
• 55:26
  private
• 55:26
  school.
• 55:27
  It
• 55:27
  is,
• 55:27
  especially
• 55:27
  in
• 55:28
  New
• 55:28
  York.
• 55:28
  I
• 55:28
  don't
• 55:28
  know
• 55:28
  what
• 55:28
  it's
• 55:29
  like
• 55:29
  in
• 55:29
  other
• 55:29
  cities.
• 55:29
  It
• 55:30
  can
• 55:30
  be
• 55:30
  like
• 55:30
  that
• 55:30
  in
• 55:31
  other
• 55:31
  cities.
• 55:31
  It's
• 55:31
  so
• 55:32
  competitive.
• 55:33
  And
• 55:33
  I
• 55:33
  really
• 55:33
  think
• 55:34
  there's
• 55:34
  this
• 55:34
  phenomenon
• 55:35
  that
• 55:35
  happens
• 55:35
  where
• 55:36
  they
• 55:36
  feel
• 55:36
  like
• 55:36
  it's
• 55:36
  just
• 55:36
  a
• 55:37
  direct
• 55:37
  reflection
• 55:38
  on
• 55:38
  them.
• 55:38
  And
• 55:39
  the
• 55:39
  school
• 55:39
  that
• 55:39
  they
• 55:39
  get
• 55:40
  their
• 55:40
  child
• 55:40
  into
• 55:41
  is.
• 55:41
  It
• 55:41
  like,
• 55:42
  determines
• 55:42
  who
• 55:42
  they
• 55:43
  are
• 55:43
  as
• 55:43
  a
• 55:44
  person.
• 55:45
  And
• 55:45
  it's
• 55:45
  like,
• 55:45
  have
• 55:46
  more
• 55:46
  identity
• 55:47
  than
• 55:47
  that.
• 55:47
  Well,
• 55:48
  and
• 55:48
  when
• 55:48
  it
• 55:48
  comes
• 55:48
  to
• 55:48
  picking
• 55:49
  a
• 55:49
  school
• 55:49
  for
• 55:49
  your
• 55:49
  child,
• 55:50
  what
• 55:50
  I
• 55:50
  always
• 55:50
  say
• 55:51
  to
• 55:51
  parents
• 55:51
  is,
• 55:53
  you're
• 55:53
  looking
• 55:54
  really
• 55:54
  for
• 55:54
  the.
• 55:55
  The
• 55:55
  right
• 55:55
  fit
• 55:56
  for
• 55:56
  your
• 55:57
  family
• 55:57
  and
• 55:57
  your
• 55:58
  child.
• 55:58
  That's
• 55:59
  really
• 55:59
  the
• 55:59
  most
• 55:59
  important
• 55:59
  thing.
• 56:00
  It's
• 56:00
  not
• 56:00
  about
• 56:01
  the
• 56:01
  best
• 56:01
  school.
• 56:02
  People
• 56:02
  will
• 56:02
  always
• 56:03
  say,
• 56:03
  well,
• 56:03
  what's
• 56:03
  the
• 56:03
  best
• 56:04
  school?
• 56:04
  That's
• 56:04
  where
• 56:05
  I
• 56:05
  want
• 56:05
  my
• 56:05
  child
• 56:05
  to
• 56:05
  go.
• 56:06
  Well,
• 56:06
  the
• 56:07
  best
• 56:07
  school
• 56:07
  in
• 56:07
  town
• 56:08
  may
• 56:08
  not
• 56:09
  be
• 56:09
  the
• 56:09
  right
• 56:09
  school
• 56:09
  for
• 56:10
  your
• 56:10
  child.
• 56:11
  And
• 56:11
  no
• 56:12
  shade.
• 56:13
  Yeah,
• 56:13
  no,
• 56:13
  it's
• 56:13
  true.
• 56:14
  I
• 56:15
  mean,
• 56:15
  I
• 56:15
  remember
• 56:16
  I
• 56:16
  looked
• 56:16
  at
• 56:17
  a
• 56:17
  particular
• 56:18
  girls
• 56:18
  school,
• 56:18
  which
• 56:19
  was
• 56:19
  amazing.
• 56:20
  And
• 56:20
  I
• 56:20
  thought,
• 56:20
  oh,
• 56:21
  I
• 56:21
  would
• 56:21
  love
• 56:22
  to
• 56:22
  go
• 56:22
  to
• 56:22
  this
• 56:22
  school
• 56:23
  myself.
• 56:23
  I
• 56:23
  mean,
• 56:24
  it
• 56:24
  was
• 56:24
  great.
• 56:24
  They
• 56:25
  had
• 56:25
  a
• 56:25
  ballet
• 56:25
  studio.
• 56:26
  It
• 56:26
  was
• 56:26
  incredible.
• 56:28
  And
• 56:28
  I
• 56:28
  was
• 56:28
  applying
• 56:29
  there
• 56:29
  for
• 56:29
  you.
• 56:30
  And
• 56:30
  I
• 56:30
  remember
• 56:31
  being
• 56:31
  at
• 56:31
  this
• 56:32
  little
• 56:32
  thing
• 56:32
  where
• 56:33
  we
• 56:33
  were.
• 56:33
  It
• 56:34
  was
• 56:34
  like
• 56:34
  a.
• 56:35
  The
• 56:35
  head
• 56:35
  of
• 56:35
  the
• 56:36
  school
• 56:36
  was
• 56:36
  there
• 56:36
  answering
• 56:37
  the
• 56:37
  parents
• 56:37
  questions,
• 56:38
  and
• 56:38
  I
• 56:38
  look
• 56:39
  like
• 56:39
  everybody
• 56:39
  in
• 56:40
  the
• 56:40
  room.
• 56:40
  And
• 56:40
  we
• 56:41
  were
• 56:41
  asking
• 56:41
  questions
• 56:41
  and
• 56:42
  I
• 56:42
  remember
• 56:42
  thinking,
• 56:43
  oh,
• 56:43
  my
• 56:43
  God,
• 56:44
  I
• 56:44
  am
• 56:44
  so
• 56:45
  out
• 56:45
  of
• 56:45
  my
• 56:46
  element.
• 56:46
  These
• 56:47
  are
• 56:47
  not
• 56:47
  my
• 56:47
  people.
• 56:48
  This
• 56:49
  is,
• 56:49
  you
• 56:49
  know,
• 56:49
  we
• 56:50
  were
• 56:50
  downtown
• 56:50
  people.
• 56:51
  This
• 56:51
  was
• 56:51
  Upper
• 56:52
  east
• 56:52
  side.
• 56:53
  It
• 56:53
  didn't
• 56:54
  feel
• 56:54
  like
• 56:54
  a
• 56:54
  fit.
• 56:55
  And
• 56:55
  I
• 56:55
  knew
• 56:56
  the
• 56:56
  school
• 56:56
  was
• 56:56
  just
• 56:56
  not
• 56:57
  right.
• 56:57
  If
• 56:57
  it
• 56:57
  wasn't
• 56:58
  right
• 56:58
  for
• 56:58
  me,
• 56:58
  I
• 56:58
  didn't
• 56:59
  feel
• 56:59
  it
• 56:59
  would
• 56:59
  be
• 56:59
  right
• 56:59
  for
• 56:59
  you
• 57:00
  because
• 57:01
  these
• 57:01
  were
• 57:01
  going
• 57:01
  to
• 57:01
  be
• 57:01
  your
• 57:02
  friends
• 57:02
  and.
• 57:03
  Yeah.
• 57:03
  You
• 57:03
  know,
• 57:04
  anyway,
• 57:05
  so
• 57:05
  it's
• 57:05
  like
• 57:06
  you
• 57:06
  have
• 57:06
  to
• 57:06
  go
• 57:07
  visit
• 57:07
  the
• 57:07
  school,
• 57:08
  see
• 57:08
  if
• 57:09
  it
• 57:09
  feels
• 57:09
  right.
• 57:10
  And.
• 57:10
  And
• 57:10
  that
• 57:10
  goes
• 57:10
  for
• 57:11
  public
• 57:11
  school,
• 57:11
  private
• 57:12
  school,
• 57:12
  the
• 57:12
  whole,
• 57:12
  you
• 57:13
  know,
• 57:13
  hopefully
• 57:13
  you
• 57:14
  have
• 57:14
  some
• 57:14
  choices
• 57:14
  in
• 57:15
  your
• 57:15
  public
• 57:15
  schools.
• 57:16
  Because
• 57:17
  private
• 57:17
  school
• 57:18
  is
• 57:18
  expensive.
• 57:19
  It
• 57:19
  is
• 57:19
  very
• 57:20
  expensive,
• 57:20
  astronomically
• 57:21
  expensive.
• 57:22
  And
• 57:22
  it
• 57:22
  gets
• 57:22
  more
• 57:22
  expensive
• 57:23
  every
• 57:23
  year.
• 57:24
  I
• 57:24
  also
• 57:24
  love
• 57:24
  the
• 57:25
  nursery
• 57:25
  school
• 57:25
  politics
• 57:26
  section.
• 57:27
  That
• 57:27
  is
• 57:27
  so,
• 57:28
  so
• 57:28
  funny
• 57:28
  to
• 57:29
  me.
• 57:29
  Oh,
• 57:29
  which,
• 57:29
  which
• 57:30
  Part.
• 57:30
  Well,
• 57:30
  just
• 57:30
  about
• 57:31
  how
• 57:31
  the
• 57:32
  kids
• 57:32
  are
• 57:32
  sort
• 57:32
  of
• 57:32
  traded
• 57:33
  around
• 57:33
  and
• 57:34
  that
• 57:34
  like.
• 57:34
  Yeah,
• 57:35
  the
• 57:35
  nursery
• 57:35
  school
• 57:36
  director
• 57:36
  impacts
• 57:37
  the
• 57:37
  schools
• 57:38
  that
• 57:38
  you
• 57:38
  get
• 57:38
  into
• 57:39
  heavily.
• 57:40
  Right.
• 57:40
  So
• 57:41
  donate
• 57:42
  money.
• 57:43
  And
• 57:43
  even
• 57:43
  if
• 57:44
  you
• 57:44
  can't
• 57:44
  donate
• 57:44
  money,
• 57:45
  just
• 57:45
  be
• 57:45
  a
• 57:45
  really
• 57:46
  good
• 57:46
  parent.
• 57:46
  Yeah.
• 57:47
  And
• 57:48
  don't.
• 57:48
  And
• 57:48
  participate
• 57:49
  to
• 57:49
  your
• 57:49
  child,
• 57:50
  but
• 57:50
  also
• 57:50
  to
• 57:50
  deal
• 57:51
  with.
• 57:51
  For
• 57:52
  the
• 57:52
  nursery
• 57:52
  school
• 57:52
  teachers,
• 57:53
  if
• 57:53
  they.
• 57:53
  Don'T
• 57:54
  like
• 57:54
  you,
• 57:55
  they
• 57:55
  can
• 57:55
  hurt
• 57:55
  you
• 57:56
  when
• 57:56
  it
• 57:56
  gets
• 57:56
  to
• 57:57
  getting
• 57:57
  into
• 57:57
  a
• 57:57
  private
• 57:58
  school.
• 57:58
  That's
• 57:58
  true.
• 57:59
  And
• 58:00
  anyway,
• 58:00
  and
• 58:00
  then
• 58:00
  we
• 58:01
  talk
• 58:01
  about
• 58:01
  how
• 58:01
  public
• 58:02
  schools
• 58:02
  use
• 58:03
  testing
• 58:03
  because
• 58:03
  they
• 58:04
  do.
• 58:04
  They
• 58:04
  track
• 58:05
  kids.
• 58:06
  And
• 58:06
  you
• 58:07
  do
• 58:07
  not
• 58:07
  want
• 58:07
  your
• 58:08
  child
• 58:08
  to
• 58:08
  be
• 58:08
  in
• 58:08
  the
• 58:08
  slow
• 58:09
  group,
• 58:09
  if
• 58:10
  at
• 58:10
  all
• 58:10
  possible.
• 58:11
  That
• 58:11
  can.
• 58:11
  I
• 58:12
  was.
• 58:12
  It
• 58:12
  wasn't
• 58:13
  so
• 58:13
  bad.
• 58:13
  It
• 58:13
  can
• 58:13
  be
• 58:13
  devastating
• 58:14
  for
• 58:14
  some
• 58:15
  kids.
• 58:15
  I
• 58:15
  hated
• 58:16
  it.
• 58:16
  I
• 58:16
  was
• 58:16
  in
• 58:16
  the
• 58:17
  slow
• 58:17
  reading
• 58:17
  group
• 58:17
  myself.
• 58:18
  Yes,
• 58:19
  I
• 58:19
  was.
• 58:19
  And
• 58:20
  I
• 58:20
  still
• 58:20
  remember
• 58:21
  how
• 58:21
  I
• 58:21
  felt
• 58:22
  like
• 58:23
  not
• 58:23
  worthy
• 58:23
  of
• 58:23
  my.
• 58:24
  Why
• 58:24
  are
• 58:24
  my
• 58:24
  good
• 58:25
  friends
• 58:25
  in
• 58:25
  the
• 58:25
  other.
• 58:25
  Well,
• 58:25
  it's
• 58:26
  crazy
• 58:26
  because
• 58:26
  you
• 58:26
  got
• 58:26
  a
• 58:26
  law
• 58:27
  degree
• 58:27
  which
• 58:28
  requires
• 58:29
  so
• 58:29
  much
• 58:29
  reading
• 58:30
  eventually.
• 58:31
  But
• 58:31
  so
• 58:32
  you
• 58:32
  can
• 58:32
  course.
• 58:32
  Correct.
• 58:33
  You
• 58:33
  can
• 58:33
  catch
• 58:33
  up.
• 58:33
  Yeah,
• 58:34
  that's
• 58:34
  right.
• 58:35
  Okay.
• 58:35
  Then
• 58:35
  we
• 58:36
  talk
• 58:36
  about
• 58:36
  support
• 58:36
  services
• 58:37
  for
• 58:37
  kids
• 58:37
  with
• 58:38
  learning
• 58:38
  delays.
• 58:40
  Every
• 58:40
  city
• 58:40
  is
• 58:41
  different.
• 58:41
  Yes.
• 58:42
  Every
• 58:42
  state
• 58:42
  is
• 58:43
  different.
• 58:43
  And
• 58:43
  you
• 58:44
  should
• 58:44
  hire
• 58:44
  a
• 58:44
  lawyer.
• 58:45
  You
• 58:45
  can.
• 58:45
  Yeah,
• 58:46
  you
• 58:46
  might
• 58:46
  need
• 58:47
  to
• 58:47
  hire
• 58:47
  a
• 58:47
  lawyer.
• 58:47
  And
• 58:48
  I
• 58:48
  talk
• 58:48
  about
• 58:48
  that,
• 58:48
  about
• 58:49
  when
• 58:49
  you,
• 58:49
  you
• 58:49
  need
• 58:49
  to
• 58:50
  do
• 58:50
  that
• 58:51
  because
• 58:51
  there's
• 58:52
  a
• 58:52
  lot
• 58:52
  of
• 58:53
  things
• 58:54
  you
• 58:54
  may
• 58:54
  be
• 58:54
  entitled
• 58:55
  to
• 58:56
  in
• 58:56
  terms
• 58:56
  of
• 58:56
  support
• 58:56
  for
• 58:57
  your
• 58:57
  child
• 58:57
  that
• 58:57
  you
• 58:58
  want
• 58:58
  to
• 58:58
  make
• 58:58
  sure
• 58:58
  you
• 58:58
  get.
• 58:59
  And
• 58:59
  the
• 58:59
  earlier
• 58:59
  you
• 59:00
  can
• 59:00
  identify
• 59:01
  any
• 59:01
  learning
• 59:01
  issue
• 59:02
  or
• 59:02
  any
• 59:02
  developmental
• 59:03
  delay,
• 59:04
  jump
• 59:05
  right
• 59:05
  in
• 59:05
  and
• 59:05
  try
• 59:06
  to
• 59:06
  get
• 59:06
  your
• 59:06
  child
• 59:06
  help
• 59:07
  because
• 59:08
  you
• 59:08
  can
• 59:08
  turn
• 59:08
  it
• 59:08
  around
• 59:09
  really
• 59:09
  fast
• 59:09
  if
• 59:10
  you
• 59:10
  get
• 59:10
  it
• 59:10
  early.
• 59:11
  So
• 59:11
  that's
• 59:11
  really
• 59:11
  important.
• 59:12
  And
• 59:12
  then
• 59:12
  lots
• 59:13
  of
• 59:13
  people
• 59:13
  get
• 59:13
  worried
• 59:14
  about,
• 59:14
  well,
• 59:14
  do
• 59:14
  I
• 59:15
  tell
• 59:15
  my
• 59:15
  nurse
• 59:16
  school?
• 59:16
  Because
• 59:16
  then
• 59:16
  I'm
• 59:17
  going
• 59:17
  to
• 59:17
  try
• 59:17
  to
• 59:17
  get
• 59:17
  into
• 59:17
  a
• 59:17
  private
• 59:18
  school.
• 59:18
  They're
• 59:18
  going
• 59:18
  to
• 59:18
  tell
• 59:18
  them.
• 59:19
  I
• 59:19
  mean,
• 59:19
  there's
• 59:19
  all
• 59:19
  kinds
• 59:20
  of
• 59:20
  stuff
• 59:20
  that
• 59:20
  goes
• 59:20
  on
• 59:21
  that.
• 59:21
  But
• 59:22
  help
• 59:22
  your
• 59:22
  child.
• 59:23
  That's
• 59:23
  really
• 59:23
  the
• 59:24
  number
• 59:24
  one
• 59:24
  thing.
• 59:25
  Do
• 59:25
  that.
• 59:26
  Please,
• 59:27
  please,
• 59:28
  please
• 59:28
  do
• 59:28
  that.
• 59:29
  Okay.
• 59:30
  So,
• 59:32
  you
• 59:32
  know,
• 59:32
  it's
• 59:32
  interesting.
• 59:34
  I
• 59:34
  guess
• 59:36
  one
• 59:36
  of
• 59:37
  the
• 59:37
  things
• 59:37
  that.
• 59:37
  I
• 59:37
  guess
• 59:37
  when
• 59:38
  I
• 59:38
  read
• 59:38
  it
• 59:38
  again,
• 59:38
  there's
• 59:39
  a
• 59:39
  lot
• 59:39
  of
• 59:39
  technological
• 59:40
  references
• 59:41
  I
• 59:41
  make
• 59:41
  that
• 59:41
  are
• 59:41
  outdated
• 59:43
  that
• 59:43
  I
• 59:43
  just
• 59:43
  didn't
• 59:43
  understand
• 59:44
  when
• 59:44
  I
• 59:44
  wrote
• 59:44
  it.
• 59:44
  How
• 59:45
  fast
• 59:45
  technology
• 59:46
  is
• 59:46
  gonna
• 59:46
  change.
• 59:47
  Well,
• 59:47
  I
• 59:48
  talked
• 59:48
  about
• 59:48
  games
• 59:48
  and
• 59:49
  things
• 59:49
  we
• 59:49
  used
• 59:49
  to
• 59:50
  play
• 59:50
  that.
• 59:50
  Like
• 59:51
  BrainQuest.
• 59:51
  Well,
• 59:52
  yeah,
• 59:52
  BrainQuest.
• 59:53
  I
• 59:53
  love
• 59:53
  BrainQuest.
• 59:54
  I
• 59:54
  loved
• 59:54
  BrainQuest.
• 59:55
  Yeah,
• 59:55
  BrainQuest.
• 59:56
  I
• 59:56
  think
• 59:56
  you
• 59:56
  can
• 59:56
  still
• 59:57
  get
• 59:57
  those
• 59:57
  BrainQuest
• 59:57
  games.
• 59:57
  Honestly,
• 59:58
  I
• 59:58
  would
• 59:58
  still
• 59:58
  enjoy
• 59:59
  a
• 59:59
  nice
• 59:59
  game
• 59:59
  of
• 59:59
  Brain
• 59:59
  Quest.
• 1:00:00
  Brain
• 1:00:00
  Quest.
• 1:00:00
  I
• 1:00:01
  think
• 1:00:01
  they're
• 1:00:01
  still
• 1:00:01
  available,
• 1:00:02
  but
• 1:00:02
  There
• 1:00:02
  were
• 1:00:03
  some
• 1:00:04
  technological
• 1:00:05
  things
• 1:00:05
  that
• 1:00:05
  are
• 1:00:05
  no
• 1:00:05
  longer
• 1:00:06
  around.
• 1:00:06
  But
• 1:00:06
  the
• 1:00:07
  point
• 1:00:07
  is,
• 1:00:08
  when
• 1:00:08
  it
• 1:00:09
  comes.
• 1:00:09
  To
• 1:00:09
  teaching
• 1:00:09
  your
• 1:00:09
  kids
• 1:00:09
  how
• 1:00:09
  to
• 1:00:10
  send
• 1:00:10
  a
• 1:00:10
  fast.
• 1:00:11
  Oh,
• 1:00:11
  yeah,
• 1:00:12
  well,
• 1:00:12
  I
• 1:00:12
  did.
• 1:00:12
  That's
• 1:00:12
  not
• 1:00:12
  in
• 1:00:13
  the
• 1:00:13
  book.
• 1:00:13
  No,
• 1:00:13
  I
• 1:00:14
  didn't
• 1:00:14
  write
• 1:00:14
  about
• 1:00:14
  that.
• 1:00:15
  But,
• 1:00:16
  yeah,
• 1:00:16
  no,
• 1:00:16
  there
• 1:00:16
  are
• 1:00:17
  things
• 1:00:17
  in
• 1:00:17
  there.
• 1:00:17
  You
• 1:00:18
  know,
• 1:00:18
  I
• 1:00:18
  think
• 1:00:18
  with
• 1:00:19
  technology,
• 1:00:21
  you
• 1:00:21
  know,
• 1:00:21
  having
• 1:00:21
  your
• 1:00:22
  child
• 1:00:22
  do
• 1:00:22
  an
• 1:00:22
  educational
• 1:00:23
  game
• 1:00:24
  online,
• 1:00:24
  that's
• 1:00:25
  fine.
• 1:00:25
  Don't
• 1:00:26
  overdo
• 1:00:26
  it.
• 1:00:26
  I
• 1:00:27
  mean,
• 1:00:27
  the
• 1:00:27
  whole
• 1:00:27
  thing
• 1:00:27
  with
• 1:00:28
  technology.
• 1:00:28
  Don't
• 1:00:29
  overdo
• 1:00:29
  it.
• 1:00:30
  But,
• 1:00:30
  yes,
• 1:00:30
  they
• 1:00:31
  can
• 1:00:31
  play,
• 1:00:32
  you
• 1:00:32
  know,
• 1:00:32
  online
• 1:00:34
  learning
• 1:00:34
  games.
• 1:00:35
  They
• 1:00:36
  can
• 1:00:36
  watch
• 1:00:36
  television.
• 1:00:37
  They
• 1:00:37
  can
• 1:00:37
  watch
• 1:00:38
  movies
• 1:00:38
  with
• 1:00:38
  you,
• 1:00:38
  and
• 1:00:39
  you
• 1:00:39
  can
• 1:00:39
  talk
• 1:00:39
  to
• 1:00:39
  them
• 1:00:40
  about,
• 1:00:41
  you
• 1:00:41
  know,
• 1:00:42
  what's
• 1:00:42
  happening
• 1:00:42
  in
• 1:00:42
  the
• 1:00:43
  plot.
• 1:00:44
  They
• 1:00:44
  can
• 1:00:44
  learn
• 1:00:45
  a
• 1:00:45
  lot
• 1:00:45
  through
• 1:00:45
  that.
• 1:00:46
  Or
• 1:00:47
  educational
• 1:00:48
  TV
• 1:00:48
  shows,
• 1:00:48
  You
• 1:00:49
  can
• 1:00:49
  do
• 1:00:49
  some
• 1:00:49
  of
• 1:00:49
  that.
• 1:00:49
  Just
• 1:00:50
  don't
• 1:00:50
  do
• 1:00:50
  it
• 1:00:50
  all
• 1:00:50
  the
• 1:00:50
  time.
• 1:00:51
  That's
• 1:00:51
  really.
• 1:00:51
  Don't
• 1:00:51
  overdo
• 1:00:52
  it.
• 1:00:52
  Do
• 1:00:52
  not
• 1:00:52
  overdo
• 1:00:53
  it.
• 1:00:53
  Right.
• 1:00:53
  Okay.
• 1:00:55
  And
• 1:00:55
  I
• 1:00:55
  don't
• 1:00:56
  know,
• 1:00:56
  in
• 1:00:56
  general,
• 1:00:57
  what
• 1:00:57
  do
• 1:00:57
  you
• 1:00:57
  think
• 1:00:57
  about
• 1:00:58
  this
• 1:00:58
  book?
• 1:00:58
  I
• 1:00:59
  loved
• 1:00:59
  this
• 1:00:59
  book.
• 1:00:59
  And
• 1:00:59
  again,
• 1:01:00
  I
• 1:01:00
  really
• 1:01:00
  think
• 1:01:01
  that
• 1:01:01
  those
• 1:01:01
  last
• 1:01:02
  few
• 1:01:02
  sections
• 1:01:03
  about
• 1:01:04
  parenting
• 1:01:06
  are
• 1:01:06
  so
• 1:01:06
  heartfelt
• 1:01:07
  and
• 1:01:07
  so
• 1:01:08
  sincere
• 1:01:08
  and
• 1:01:09
  just,
• 1:01:09
  again,
• 1:01:10
  it's
• 1:01:10
  like
• 1:01:10
  you
• 1:01:11
  had
• 1:01:11
  such
• 1:01:11
  a
• 1:01:12
  wild
• 1:01:12
  experience
• 1:01:13
  because
• 1:01:13
  you're
• 1:01:14
  in
• 1:01:14
  New
• 1:01:14
  York
• 1:01:14
  City
• 1:01:14
  and
• 1:01:15
  because
• 1:01:15
  you
• 1:01:15
  have
• 1:01:15
  two
• 1:01:15
  such
• 1:01:16
  different
• 1:01:16
  kids,
• 1:01:17
  which
• 1:01:17
  I
• 1:01:18
  imagine
• 1:01:19
  happens
• 1:01:19
  in
• 1:01:20
  most
• 1:01:20
  families.
• 1:01:21
  Like,
• 1:01:21
  you
• 1:01:21
  don't
• 1:01:21
  really
• 1:01:21
  get
• 1:01:22
  carbon
• 1:01:22
  copies.
• 1:01:23
  No,
• 1:01:23
  but
• 1:01:24
  I
• 1:01:24
  loved
• 1:01:25
  it.
• 1:01:25
  I
• 1:01:25
  loved
• 1:01:25
  it.
• 1:01:25
  And
• 1:01:25
  you're
• 1:01:26
  also
• 1:01:26
  such
• 1:01:26
  a
• 1:01:26
  good
• 1:01:26
  writer.
• 1:01:27
  I
• 1:01:27
  love
• 1:01:27
  reading
• 1:01:28
  your
• 1:01:28
  writing.
• 1:01:29
  Thank
• 1:01:29
  you.
• 1:01:29
  Yeah.
• 1:01:30
  That's
• 1:01:30
  so
• 1:01:30
  nice
• 1:01:30
  of
• 1:01:30
  you
• 1:01:30
  to
• 1:01:31
  say.
• 1:01:31
  You're
• 1:01:31
  not
• 1:01:31
  just
• 1:01:32
  saying
• 1:01:32
  that?
• 1:01:32
  No,
• 1:01:32
  no,
• 1:01:33
  I'm
• 1:01:33
  not.
• 1:01:33
  I'm
• 1:01:34
  not.
• 1:01:34
  Because
• 1:01:35
  next
• 1:01:35
  week,
• 1:01:35
  I'm
• 1:01:36
  gonna
• 1:01:36
  rip
• 1:01:36
  a
• 1:01:36
  book
• 1:01:36
  to
• 1:01:36
  shrimp.
• 1:01:37
  Oh,
• 1:01:37
  okay.
• 1:01:38
  Oh,
• 1:01:38
  just
• 1:01:38
  brace
• 1:01:39
  yourself.
• 1:01:39
  But
• 1:01:39
  I
• 1:01:39
  didn't
• 1:01:40
  write
• 1:01:40
  that
• 1:01:40
  one.
• 1:01:40
  You
• 1:01:40
  did
• 1:01:41
  not
• 1:01:41
  write
• 1:01:41
  that
• 1:01:41
  one.
• 1:01:41
  Okay,
• 1:01:41
  good.
• 1:01:42
  No,
• 1:01:42
  no.
• 1:01:43
  I
• 1:01:43
  would
• 1:01:43
  be
• 1:01:43
  so
• 1:01:43
  bad.
• 1:01:44
  Look,
• 1:01:44
  I
• 1:01:44
  would
• 1:01:44
  still
• 1:01:45
  love
• 1:01:45
  you.
• 1:01:45
  You
• 1:01:45
  could
• 1:01:46
  say.
• 1:01:46
  You
• 1:01:46
  could
• 1:01:46
  say.
• 1:01:47
  I
• 1:01:47
  would.
• 1:01:48
  If
• 1:01:49
  I
• 1:01:49
  didn't
• 1:01:49
  like
• 1:01:49
  it,
• 1:01:50
  I
• 1:01:50
  would
• 1:01:50
  tell
• 1:01:50
  you
• 1:01:50
  the
• 1:01:51
  truth.
• 1:01:51
  But
• 1:01:51
  no,
• 1:01:51
  I
• 1:01:52
  loved
• 1:01:52
  this
• 1:01:52
  book.
• 1:01:53
  And
• 1:01:53
  on
• 1:01:53
  a
• 1:01:53
  scale
• 1:01:54
  of
• 1:01:54
  scientist
• 1:01:54
  to
• 1:01:55
  parent,
• 1:01:55
  I
• 1:01:55
  would
• 1:01:55
  actually
• 1:01:56
  give
• 1:01:56
  this
• 1:01:56
  book
• 1:01:56
  a
• 1:01:56
  10.
• 1:01:56
  This
• 1:01:57
  is
• 1:01:57
  my
• 1:01:57
  first
• 1:01:57
  10
• 1:01:57
  that
• 1:01:57
  I
• 1:01:58
  would
• 1:01:58
  give.
• 1:01:58
  Not
• 1:01:58
  because
• 1:01:59
  of
• 1:01:59
  nepotism
• 1:01:59
  or
• 1:02:00
  reverse
• 1:02:00
  nepotism.
• 1:02:01
  Okay.
• 1:02:01
  But
• 1:02:02
  because
• 1:02:02
  I
• 1:02:02
  actually
• 1:02:03
  really
• 1:02:03
  enjoyed
• 1:02:03
  it.
• 1:02:03
  And.
• 1:02:04
  And
• 1:02:04
  it's.
• 1:02:04
  It
• 1:02:04
  really
• 1:02:04
  levels
• 1:02:05
  with
• 1:02:05
  parents.
• 1:02:06
  Yeah.
• 1:02:06
  You
• 1:02:06
  know,
• 1:02:06
  it's
• 1:02:07
  like,
• 1:02:07
  listen,
• 1:02:07
  testing
• 1:02:08
  is
• 1:02:08
  something
• 1:02:08
  that
• 1:02:09
  if
• 1:02:09
  your
• 1:02:09
  child
• 1:02:09
  is
• 1:02:10
  going
• 1:02:10
  to
• 1:02:10
  go
• 1:02:10
  to
• 1:02:10
  school
• 1:02:10
  and
• 1:02:10
  all
• 1:02:11
  children
• 1:02:11
  have
• 1:02:11
  to
• 1:02:11
  go
• 1:02:11
  to
• 1:02:11
  school,
• 1:02:12
  you're
• 1:02:12
  going
• 1:02:12
  to
• 1:02:12
  have
• 1:02:12
  to
• 1:02:13
  deal
• 1:02:13
  with
• 1:02:13
  in
• 1:02:13
  some
• 1:02:13
  capacity,
• 1:02:14
  whether
• 1:02:14
  you
• 1:02:14
  go
• 1:02:14
  private,
• 1:02:15
  public,
• 1:02:15
  gifted,
• 1:02:15
  whatever.
• 1:02:16
  Right.
• 1:02:16
  You
• 1:02:17
  know,
• 1:02:17
  there
• 1:02:17
  are
• 1:02:17
  ways
• 1:02:18
  to
• 1:02:19
  prepare
• 1:02:19
  your
• 1:02:19
  child.
• 1:02:20
  This
• 1:02:21
  idea
• 1:02:21
  that
• 1:02:22
  psychologists
• 1:02:22
  and
• 1:02:23
  some
• 1:02:23
  teachers
• 1:02:23
  like
• 1:02:24
  to
• 1:02:24
  believe
• 1:02:24
  that
• 1:02:25
  preparation
• 1:02:25
  is
• 1:02:26
  cheating.
• 1:02:26
  It's
• 1:02:27
  not
• 1:02:27
  not
• 1:02:28
  all
• 1:02:28
  kids
• 1:02:28
  learn
• 1:02:28
  at
• 1:02:29
  the
• 1:02:29
  same
• 1:02:29
  pace,
• 1:02:29
  Case.
• 1:02:30
  This
• 1:02:31
  is
• 1:02:31
  a
• 1:02:31
  good
• 1:02:31
  way
• 1:02:31
  to
• 1:02:31
  start
• 1:02:31
  identifying
• 1:02:33
  if
• 1:02:33
  your
• 1:02:33
  kid
• 1:02:34
  is
• 1:02:34
  going
• 1:02:34
  to
• 1:02:34
  struggle
• 1:02:34
  in
• 1:02:35
  some
• 1:02:35
  areas.
• 1:02:35
  And,
• 1:02:35
  like,
• 1:02:36
  helping
• 1:02:37
  your
• 1:02:37
  child
• 1:02:37
  in
• 1:02:38
  areas
• 1:02:38
  that
• 1:02:38
  they
• 1:02:38
  struggle
• 1:02:39
  in
• 1:02:39
  shouldn't
• 1:02:40
  be
• 1:02:40
  such
• 1:02:40
  a
• 1:02:40
  charged
• 1:02:41
  topic.
• 1:02:42
  It's
• 1:02:42
  like,
• 1:02:42
  you
• 1:02:42
  get
• 1:02:42
  what
• 1:02:43
  you
• 1:02:43
  get
• 1:02:43
  and
• 1:02:43
  you
• 1:02:43
  don't
• 1:02:43
  get
• 1:02:43
  upset.
• 1:02:44
  I
• 1:02:44
  think
• 1:02:44
  that's
• 1:02:44
  ridiculous.
• 1:02:45
  As
• 1:02:45
  a
• 1:02:45
  parent,
• 1:02:45
  it's
• 1:02:46
  like,
• 1:02:46
  there's
• 1:02:47
  so
• 1:02:47
  much
• 1:02:47
  you
• 1:02:47
  can
• 1:02:47
  do
• 1:02:48
  to
• 1:02:48
  be
• 1:02:48
  proactive,
• 1:02:49
  and
• 1:02:49
  this
• 1:02:49
  book
• 1:02:49
  lays
• 1:02:50
  it
• 1:02:50
  all
• 1:02:50
  out.
• 1:02:50
  And
• 1:02:51
  again,
• 1:02:51
  it's
• 1:02:51
  not
• 1:02:51
  like
• 1:02:52
  saying
• 1:02:52
  you
• 1:02:52
  need
• 1:02:53
  to
• 1:02:53
  allocate
• 1:02:53
  another
• 1:02:54
  10
• 1:02:54
  hours
• 1:02:54
  a
• 1:02:55
  week
• 1:02:55
  to
• 1:02:55
  parenting.
• 1:02:56
  It's
• 1:02:56
  like,
• 1:02:56
  no,
• 1:02:56
  these
• 1:02:57
  are
• 1:02:57
  the
• 1:02:57
  things
• 1:02:57
  that
• 1:02:57
  you're
• 1:02:57
  probably
• 1:02:58
  already
• 1:02:59
  doing.
• 1:02:59
  Here's
• 1:03:00
  how
• 1:03:00
  you
• 1:03:00
  can
• 1:03:00
  do
• 1:03:01
  them
• 1:03:01
  in
• 1:03:01
  a
• 1:03:02
  more
• 1:03:03
  helpful
• 1:03:03
  way.
• 1:03:04
  Right.
• 1:03:04
  For
• 1:03:05
  your
• 1:03:05
  kid.
• 1:03:06
  And
• 1:03:06
  it's
• 1:03:06
  fun,
• 1:03:07
  you
• 1:03:07
  know,
• 1:03:08
  and
• 1:03:08
  you
• 1:03:08
  really,
• 1:03:09
  like,
• 1:03:09
  your
• 1:03:09
  parenting
• 1:03:10
  experience
• 1:03:10
  ran
• 1:03:11
  the
• 1:03:11
  gamut,
• 1:03:12
  you
• 1:03:12
  know,
• 1:03:12
  like
• 1:03:13
  every.
• 1:03:13
  We
• 1:03:14
  were
• 1:03:14
  applying
• 1:03:14
  to
• 1:03:14
  schools
• 1:03:15
  every
• 1:03:15
  other
• 1:03:15
  year.
• 1:03:16
  Well,
• 1:03:16
  for
• 1:03:17
  one
• 1:03:17
  reason
• 1:03:17
  or
• 1:03:17
  another,
• 1:03:18
  if
• 1:03:18
  you
• 1:03:18
  like
• 1:03:19
  it.
• 1:03:19
  Yeah.
• 1:03:19
  That's
• 1:03:19
  a
• 1:03:19
  very
• 1:03:20
  kind
• 1:03:20
  way
• 1:03:20
  of
• 1:03:20
  putting
• 1:03:20
  it.
• 1:03:21
  Yeah.
• 1:03:22
  But,
• 1:03:22
  yeah,
• 1:03:22
  I
• 1:03:22
  mean,
• 1:03:23
  if
• 1:03:24
  you
• 1:03:24
  are
• 1:03:24
  definitely
• 1:03:24
  the
• 1:03:24
  expert
• 1:03:25
  in
• 1:03:25
  admissions,
• 1:03:26
  because
• 1:03:26
  I
• 1:03:26
  don't
• 1:03:26
  at
• 1:03:27
  that
• 1:03:27
  point
• 1:03:27
  anyway,
• 1:03:28
  there
• 1:03:28
  wasn't
• 1:03:28
  an
• 1:03:29
  admissions
• 1:03:29
  person
• 1:03:29
  that
• 1:03:29
  you
• 1:03:30
  didn't
• 1:03:30
  have
• 1:03:30
  on
• 1:03:30
  speed
• 1:03:30
  dial,
• 1:03:31
  because
• 1:03:31
  I
• 1:03:31
  was,
• 1:03:32
  again,
• 1:03:32
  I
• 1:03:32
  was
• 1:03:32
  probably
• 1:03:33
  applying
• 1:03:33
  to
• 1:03:33
  their
• 1:03:33
  school,
• 1:03:34
  you
• 1:03:34
  know.
• 1:03:35
  Right.
• 1:03:36
  And
• 1:03:36
  will
• 1:03:36
  you
• 1:03:36
  use
• 1:03:37
  the
• 1:03:37
  games
• 1:03:37
  and
• 1:03:38
  activities?
• 1:03:38
  Yeah,
• 1:03:39
  okay,
• 1:03:39
  I
• 1:03:39
  will.
• 1:03:39
  I'll
• 1:03:40
  use
• 1:03:40
  them.
• 1:03:40
  Because
• 1:03:41
  again,
• 1:03:41
  like,
• 1:03:41
  they're
• 1:03:42
  easy
• 1:03:42
  to
• 1:03:42
  understand.
• 1:03:43
  Right.
• 1:03:44
  They
• 1:03:44
  sound
• 1:03:45
  like
• 1:03:45
  fun.
• 1:03:45
  And
• 1:03:45
  I
• 1:03:46
  think
• 1:03:46
  my
• 1:03:46
  baby
• 1:03:46
  will
• 1:03:46
  really
• 1:03:47
  like
• 1:03:47
  them.
• 1:03:47
  I
• 1:03:48
  think
• 1:03:48
  so,
• 1:03:48
  too.
• 1:03:48
  I
• 1:03:49
  think
• 1:03:49
  so,
• 1:03:49
  too.
• 1:03:49
  And
• 1:03:50
  also,
• 1:03:50
  again,
• 1:03:50
  like.
• 1:03:50
  Like,
• 1:03:51
  teaching
• 1:03:51
  your
• 1:03:51
  child
• 1:03:52
  is
• 1:03:52
  such
• 1:03:52
  an
• 1:03:52
  underrated
• 1:03:53
  way
• 1:03:53
  of
• 1:03:54
  bonding
• 1:03:54
  with
• 1:03:54
  them,
• 1:03:55
  because
• 1:03:56
  when
• 1:03:56
  they
• 1:03:56
  learn
• 1:03:57
  something
• 1:03:57
  new
• 1:03:57
  and
• 1:03:58
  feel
• 1:03:58
  like
• 1:03:58
  they're,
• 1:03:58
  like,
• 1:03:59
  starting
• 1:03:59
  to
• 1:03:59
  master
• 1:04:00
  it
• 1:04:00
  and
• 1:04:00
  they're
• 1:04:00
  getting
• 1:04:01
  confidence,
• 1:04:02
  it's
• 1:04:02
  so
• 1:04:02
  encouraging.
• 1:04:03
  And
• 1:04:03
  being
• 1:04:03
  the
• 1:04:04
  one
• 1:04:04
  to
• 1:04:04
  impart
• 1:04:05
  that
• 1:04:05
  to
• 1:04:05
  them
• 1:04:06
  is
• 1:04:07
  such
• 1:04:07
  a
• 1:04:07
  gift.
• 1:04:08
  Yeah,
• 1:04:08
  I
• 1:04:08
  think
• 1:04:09
  so.
• 1:04:09
  I
• 1:04:09
  would
• 1:04:10
  say
• 1:04:10
  that
• 1:04:10
  that
• 1:04:10
  year
• 1:04:10
  that
• 1:04:11
  Sam
• 1:04:11
  and
• 1:04:11
  I
• 1:04:11
  spent
• 1:04:12
  where
• 1:04:12
  I
• 1:04:13
  was
• 1:04:13
  working
• 1:04:13
  with
• 1:04:13
  him
• 1:04:14
  every
• 1:04:14
  night
• 1:04:15
  was
• 1:04:16
  such
• 1:04:16
  a
• 1:04:16
  bonding
• 1:04:17
  experience
• 1:04:17
  for
• 1:04:18
  us.
• 1:04:19
  And
• 1:04:19
  I
• 1:04:19
  always
• 1:04:19
  tell
• 1:04:20
  that
• 1:04:20
  to
• 1:04:20
  people
• 1:04:20
  who
• 1:04:21
  were
• 1:04:21
  helping
• 1:04:21
  their
• 1:04:22
  kids
• 1:04:22
  get
• 1:04:22
  ready
• 1:04:22
  for
• 1:04:22
  a
• 1:04:23
  test.
• 1:04:23
  It's
• 1:04:23
  like,
• 1:04:23
  can
• 1:04:23
  they
• 1:04:24
  actually
• 1:04:24
  be
• 1:04:24
  fun?
• 1:04:25
  It
• 1:04:25
  can
• 1:04:25
  be
• 1:04:26
  a
• 1:04:26
  bonding
• 1:04:26
  experience.
• 1:04:27
  It
• 1:04:27
  was
• 1:04:27
  for
• 1:04:27
  us.
• 1:04:28
  Do
• 1:04:28
  you
• 1:04:28
  remember
• 1:04:29
  when
• 1:04:29
  we
• 1:04:29
  asked
• 1:04:29
  you
• 1:04:29
  what
• 1:04:30
  God
• 1:04:30
  was?
• 1:04:31
  Well,
• 1:04:32
  you
• 1:04:32
  guys
• 1:04:32
  used
• 1:04:32
  to
• 1:04:32
  ask
• 1:04:33
  me
• 1:04:33
  so
• 1:04:33
  many
• 1:04:33
  questions
• 1:04:34
  that
• 1:04:35
  I
• 1:04:35
  did
• 1:04:36
  not
• 1:04:36
  have
• 1:04:36
  the
• 1:04:36
  answer
• 1:04:36
  to.
• 1:04:37
  I
• 1:04:37
  mean,
• 1:04:37
  you
• 1:04:38
  would
• 1:04:38
  do
• 1:04:38
  your
• 1:04:38
  best.
• 1:04:38
  I
• 1:04:39
  tried.
• 1:04:39
  Now,
• 1:04:40
  you
• 1:04:40
  could
• 1:04:40
  Google
• 1:04:40
  it
• 1:04:41
  in
• 1:04:41
  those
• 1:04:41
  days.
• 1:04:42
  I
• 1:04:42
  don't
• 1:04:42
  know.
• 1:04:42
  Chatgpt.
• 1:04:44
  What
• 1:04:44
  is
• 1:04:44
  God?
• 1:04:45
  Explain
• 1:04:45
  to
• 1:04:45
  my
• 1:04:46
  child
• 1:04:46
  what
• 1:04:46
  God
• 1:04:46
  is.
• 1:04:48
  I
• 1:04:48
  don't
• 1:04:48
  know.
• 1:04:48
  Yeah,
• 1:04:49
  back
• 1:04:49
  then
• 1:04:49
  I
• 1:04:49
  had
• 1:04:50
  to
• 1:04:50
  kind
• 1:04:50
  of
• 1:04:50
  wing
• 1:04:51
  it
• 1:04:51
  myself.
• 1:04:51
  But
• 1:04:52
  anyway.
• 1:04:52
  Well,
• 1:04:52
  I'm
• 1:04:53
  Glad
• 1:04:53
  you
• 1:04:53
  liked
• 1:04:53
  the
• 1:04:53
  book.
• 1:04:53
  I
• 1:04:54
  did.
• 1:04:54
  Mom,
• 1:04:54
  how
• 1:04:55
  readable
• 1:04:55
  was
• 1:04:55
  this
• 1:04:55
  book
• 1:04:56
  as
• 1:04:56
  far
• 1:04:56
  as
• 1:04:56
  you're
• 1:04:56
  concerned?
• 1:04:57
  Oh,
• 1:04:58
  well,
• 1:04:58
  for
• 1:04:58
  me
• 1:04:58
  it
• 1:04:59
  was.
• 1:04:59
  I
• 1:04:59
  think
• 1:05:00
  I
• 1:05:00
  tried
• 1:05:00
  to
• 1:05:01
  write
• 1:05:01
  a
• 1:05:01
  book
• 1:05:01
  that
• 1:05:01
  was
• 1:05:02
  very
• 1:05:02
  readable
• 1:05:02
  for
• 1:05:03
  parents
• 1:05:03
  that
• 1:05:03
  was
• 1:05:04
  enjoyable,
• 1:05:05
  fun,
• 1:05:07
  a
• 1:05:07
  little
• 1:05:07
  bit
• 1:05:07
  novelistic
• 1:05:08
  because
• 1:05:09
  I
• 1:05:09
  didn't
• 1:05:09
  want
• 1:05:10
  it
• 1:05:10
  to
• 1:05:10
  be
• 1:05:10
  boring,
• 1:05:11
  but
• 1:05:11
  I
• 1:05:11
  wanted
• 1:05:11
  it
• 1:05:11
  to
• 1:05:12
  be
• 1:05:12
  really
• 1:05:12
  useful.
• 1:05:13
  And
• 1:05:13
  I
• 1:05:14
  had
• 1:05:14
  so
• 1:05:14
  many
• 1:05:14
  parents
• 1:05:15
  through
• 1:05:15
  the
• 1:05:15
  years
• 1:05:15
  come
• 1:05:16
  up
• 1:05:16
  to
• 1:05:16
  me
• 1:05:16
  and
• 1:05:16
  they've
• 1:05:17
  yellowed
• 1:05:17
  out
• 1:05:17
  everything
• 1:05:18
  and
• 1:05:18
  they've
• 1:05:18
  got
• 1:05:18
  stickies
• 1:05:19
  in
• 1:05:19
  it.
• 1:05:19
  And
• 1:05:20
  I
• 1:05:20
  just
• 1:05:20
  had
• 1:05:20
  a
• 1:05:20
  parent
• 1:05:21
  yesterday
• 1:05:21
  telling
• 1:05:22
  me
• 1:05:22
  how
• 1:05:22
  much
• 1:05:23
  they
• 1:05:23
  used
• 1:05:24
  the
• 1:05:24
  book
• 1:05:24
  to.
• 1:05:24
  It's
• 1:05:25
  a
• 1:05:25
  kind
• 1:05:25
  of.
• 1:05:25
  So
• 1:05:25
  it's
• 1:05:25
  really
• 1:05:26
  helpful.
• 1:05:26
  You
• 1:05:26
  can
• 1:05:26
  come
• 1:05:26
  back
• 1:05:27
  to
• 1:05:27
  it.
• 1:05:27
  Yeah,
• 1:05:28
  yeah.
• 1:05:28
  It's
• 1:05:28
  like
• 1:05:28
  you
• 1:05:29
  can
• 1:05:29
  search
• 1:05:30
  out
• 1:05:30
  the
• 1:05:30
  topics
• 1:05:31
  you
• 1:05:31
  need
• 1:05:31
  in
• 1:05:31
  a
• 1:05:31
  moment.
• 1:05:32
  You
• 1:05:32
  don't
• 1:05:32
  necessarily
• 1:05:32
  have
• 1:05:33
  to
• 1:05:33
  read
• 1:05:33
  it
• 1:05:33
  in
• 1:05:33
  order,
• 1:05:33
  but
• 1:05:34
  you
• 1:05:34
  could.
• 1:05:35
  But
• 1:05:35
  it's
• 1:05:35
  very
• 1:05:36
  readable
• 1:05:36
  and
• 1:05:36
  I
• 1:05:36
  enjoyed
• 1:05:37
  it.
• 1:05:37
  I
• 1:05:37
  enjoyed
• 1:05:38
  it
• 1:05:38
  more
• 1:05:38
  than
• 1:05:38
  a
• 1:05:38
  lot
• 1:05:38
  of
• 1:05:39
  the
• 1:05:39
  books
• 1:05:39
  that
• 1:05:39
  we've
• 1:05:39
  read
• 1:05:39
  because
• 1:05:40
  I
• 1:05:40
  tell
• 1:05:40
  you,
• 1:05:40
  some
• 1:05:40
  parenting
• 1:05:41
  books
• 1:05:41
  are
• 1:05:41
  an
• 1:05:42
  absolute
• 1:05:42
  slog.
• 1:05:43
  They
• 1:05:43
  are
• 1:05:44
  dense,
• 1:05:44
  they
• 1:05:45
  are
• 1:05:45
  boring.
• 1:05:46
  And
• 1:05:46
  this
• 1:05:46
  was
• 1:05:47
  not
• 1:05:47
  that.
• 1:05:47
  Oh,
• 1:05:47
  thank
• 1:05:48
  you.
• 1:05:48
  I'm
• 1:05:48
  really.
• 1:05:48
  That
• 1:05:49
  makes
• 1:05:49
  me
• 1:05:49
  feel
• 1:05:49
  really
• 1:05:50
  good.
• 1:05:50
  It's
• 1:05:50
  also
• 1:05:51
  like
• 1:05:51
  a
• 1:05:51
  crisp
• 1:05:52
  220something
• 1:05:53
  pages,
• 1:05:54
  which
• 1:05:55
  I
• 1:05:55
  don't
• 1:05:55
  know
• 1:05:55
  when
• 1:05:55
  people
• 1:05:56
  got
• 1:05:56
  together
• 1:05:56
  and
• 1:05:56
  all
• 1:05:57
  decided,
• 1:05:57
  you
• 1:05:57
  know,
• 1:05:57
  a
• 1:05:58
  book
• 1:05:58
  should
• 1:05:58
  be
• 1:05:58
  300
• 1:05:59
  plus
• 1:05:59
  pages.
• 1:06:00
  Right?
• 1:06:00
  Why?
• 1:06:01
  Why?
• 1:06:02
  And
• 1:06:02
  I'll
• 1:06:02
  tell
• 1:06:02
  you
• 1:06:02
  somebody
• 1:06:03
  who's
• 1:06:03
  now
• 1:06:03
  reading
• 1:06:04
  a
• 1:06:04
  book
• 1:06:04
  every
• 1:06:04
  week,
• 1:06:05
  they
• 1:06:05
  don't
• 1:06:06
  need
• 1:06:06
  to
• 1:06:06
  be
• 1:06:07
  that
• 1:06:07
  long.
• 1:06:07
  They
• 1:06:07
  don't
• 1:06:08
  to
• 1:06:08
  get
• 1:06:08
  your
• 1:06:08
  point
• 1:06:08
  across.
• 1:06:09
  And
• 1:06:09
  if
• 1:06:10
  they
• 1:06:10
  do,
• 1:06:10
  and
• 1:06:10
  it's
• 1:06:10
  like
• 1:06:10
  these
• 1:06:11
  people
• 1:06:11
  making
• 1:06:11
  four
• 1:06:11
  hour
• 1:06:12
  movies
• 1:06:12
  now,
• 1:06:12
  it's
• 1:06:13
  like
• 1:06:13
  you
• 1:06:14
  could
• 1:06:14
  have
• 1:06:14
  told
• 1:06:14
  the
• 1:06:14
  story
• 1:06:14
  too.
• 1:06:15
  One
• 1:06:16
  and
• 1:06:16
  a
• 1:06:16
  half.
• 1:06:16
  I
• 1:06:17
  agree.
• 1:06:17
  I
• 1:06:17
  agree.
• 1:06:17
  Books
• 1:06:18
  can
• 1:06:18
  be
• 1:06:18
  shorter,
• 1:06:19
  especially
• 1:06:19
  parenting
• 1:06:19
  books.
• 1:06:20
  That's
• 1:06:20
  like.
• 1:06:21
  But
• 1:06:22
  anyway.
• 1:06:22
  But
• 1:06:23
  I'm
• 1:06:23
  glad
• 1:06:23
  that
• 1:06:23
  you
• 1:06:23
  liked
• 1:06:24
  it.
• 1:06:24
  I'm
• 1:06:24
  glad
• 1:06:24
  you
• 1:06:24
  found
• 1:06:24
  it
• 1:06:25
  readable
• 1:06:25
  and
• 1:06:26
  I
• 1:06:26
  hope
• 1:06:26
  parents
• 1:06:27
  read
• 1:06:27
  it.
• 1:06:28
  And
• 1:06:28
  at
• 1:06:28
  least
• 1:06:29
  now
• 1:06:30
  that
• 1:06:30
  was
• 1:06:30
  the
• 1:06:30
  thing
• 1:06:30
  that
• 1:06:31
  led
• 1:06:31
  me
• 1:06:31
  to
• 1:06:32
  create
• 1:06:32
  Testing
• 1:06:33
  Mom.
• 1:06:33
  And
• 1:06:34
  so
• 1:06:34
  it
• 1:06:34
  works
• 1:06:34
  really
• 1:06:34
  well
• 1:06:35
  with
• 1:06:35
  Testing
• 1:06:35
  mom.
• 1:06:36
  As
• 1:06:36
  your
• 1:06:36
  kids
• 1:06:37
  especially
• 1:06:37
  get
• 1:06:37
  older,
• 1:06:38
  you
• 1:06:38
  can
• 1:06:38
  go
• 1:06:38
  on
• 1:06:38
  to
• 1:06:39
  Testing
• 1:06:39
  Mom.
• 1:06:39
  Yeah.
• 1:06:40
  Or
• 1:06:40

• 1:06:49
  true.

  and

  problems
• 1:06:59
  in
• 1:06:59
  my
• 1:06:59
  life,
• 1:07:00
  it's
• 1:07:00
  like,

  as
