Her love and enthusiasm for her work are contagious. I used to babysit when in high school in the sixties, when babies were believed to have short attention spans and little potential for meaningful communication. Yet two baby girls I knew could sit on my lap for more than 30 minutes while I read to them, drew, or let them "draw." I found this impressive! It's so encouraging to learn that Ms. Hanauer's techniques can reduce parent/child communication frustration, possibly contributing to long-term brain plasticity.

I didn't realize that babies were capable of expressing emotions like frustration through the use of language. awesome show,I learned ASL as a kid but I was about 7.
