Sheely, PhD Sink or Swim By Dr. le Sheely R.SheelyMy mother is 95 and the pithy sayings which were the grist of her child-rearing skills, even though most annoying, remain firmly ensconced in my brain. For example, getting ready for school with the fourth button missing from a favorite sweater: " A stitch in time saves nine " Or, arguing politics over dinner, " Man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still " . Each sing-song saying meant as a quick solution to end an argument or circumvent a mindful discussion. Having said that, there were other interactions that were more drawn out, more structured-all designed to begin the growing-up process of a five year old. In spite of many time-saving conveniences, parents today often find themselves on a fast-paced track during the time they spend with their children, overlooking those rich, teachable moments that occur over and over again. And, while a fast track is important for sprinting, it is counter-productive for mindfully guiding the maturation process that turns little children into intellectually savvy and healthy, strong adults with jobs and solid relationships.

We plunged into RDI with a little bit of skepticism but with a whole hearted will to make our son's life better. As soon as we started, the first big myth was busted when, we were politely told to shut up. Click here to read the complete article.
