Dr Sam Wang

How well do you know your child’s brain?

October 11, 2012 by The Inside Press

How children think is one of the most enduring mysteries–and difficulties–encountered by parents. In an effort to raise children smarter, happier, stronger, and better, parents will try almost anything, from vitamins to toys to DVDs. So how can we tell marketing from real science, and what really goes through our kid’s developing mind–as an infant, in school, and during adolescence?

Sponsored by the Chappaqua PTA in conjunction with the CCSD,
