Summary

World-class pediatric surgeon, social scientist, and best-selling author of Thirty Million Words Dr。 Dana Suskind returns with a revelatory new look at the neuroscience of early childhood development--and how it can guide us toward a future in which every child has the opportunity to fulfill their potential。

Her prescription for this more prosperous and equitable future, as clear as it is powerful, is more robust support for parents during the most critical years of their children's development。 In her poignant new book, Parent Nation, written with award-winning science writer Lydia Denworth, Dr。 Suskind helps parents recognize both their collective identity and their formidable power as custodians of our next generation。

Weaving together the latest science on the developing brain with heart-breaking and relatable stories of families from all walks of life, Dr。 Suskind shows that the status quo--scores of parents convinced they should be able to shoulder the enormous responsibility of early childhood care and education on their own--is not only unsustainable, but deeply detrimental to the wellbeing of children, families, and society。

Anyone looking for a blueprint for how to build a brighter future for our children will find one in Parent Nation。 Informed by the science of foundational brain development as well as history, political science, and the lived experiences of families around the country, this book clearly outlines how society can and should help families meet the developmental needs of their children。 Only then can we ensure that all children are able to enjoy the promise of their potential。

At once heartbreaking and inspiring, Parent Nation by Dana Suskind is a call to action to protect and nurture future generations。 Social supports in the United States make it impossible for many parents to provide kids with the level of interaction they need in the first few years of life to support healthy brain development。 This, coupled with the fact that the majority of parents don't receive any guidance about how to nurture brain development in their kids, leads to startling inequities betw At once heartbreaking and inspiring, Parent Nation by Dana Suskind is a call to action to protect and nurture future generations。 Social supports in the United States make it impossible for many parents to provide kids with the level of interaction they need in the first few years of life to support healthy brain development。 This, coupled with the fact that the majority of parents don't receive any guidance about how to nurture brain development in their kids, leads to startling inequities between socioeconomic classes, and a terrible loss of talent and brilliance。 Anyone who cares about children, which should be all of us since this is the same as caring about the future of humanity, needs to read and act on the information on this book。Thank you do Dana Suskind, Penguin Group, and NetGalley for access to this free e-arc in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
