Thank you, Lindsay. Embracing lifelong learning, especially from people like you (was just re-reading your framework two-generation programs in the 21st century).

Isabelle - you have such a natural way of channeling your passion for early childhood education in these posts. They are informative, uplifting (at times), and inspiring! I recommend it to anyone who asks!

Isabelle,

Feedback: this is all brilliant and inspiring.

This really resonated, the TEDTalk by DeLonn Crosby. First, learning that less than 5% of all investment goes to early childhood education and development, yet, 90% of the child's brain is developed by age 5, should shock everyone. Into doing something to change this investment equation.

Second, when he said about his son, "it went from being personal to paternal", that made me tear-up.

I plan to listen to your discussion "Cradle to Kindergarten: A New Plan to Combat Inequality" this weekend.

"Small Talks", what a special idea, from a special person!
