John Medina parent quiz review
John Medina is a highly respected developmental molecular biologist and author of Brain Rules and Brain Rules for babies. On his website Brainrules.net, he offers advice on pregnancy, parenting, and relationships mainly through videos. His videos aren’t just informative but also very entertaining. I have developed an extreme liking for John Medina and would love to see him speak in person. One of the best features of his website, brainrules.net, is the parent quiz video.
A couple by the names of Michael and Pam are preparing to welcome a new addition to the family. Even before the baby has made his or her grand entrance, Michael is positive he knows the path to raise a healthy, intelligent child (as we all do, right?), however John Medina, shows and proves him to be extremely in the wrong.
Before the quiz starts Michael hilariously shows us how he will raise a prodigy child. Michael states that the key to a smart, successful child is to set high expectations and demand maturity from the child. Michael never misses a chance to teach his child, mostly information the rest of the population obtains in college. One of the highlights of the video is when Michael tests his future daughter on impulse control. Placing one cookie in front of “Michaela” at the ripe age of four, he tells her that if she can wait 15 minutes for his return without eating the cookie, he will give her two cookies. But if she can’t wait she will receive no extra cookies, all the while shoveling cookies in his mouth. Sadly, Michaela couldn’t resist eating the cookie; she actually ate the cookie as he was describing the task.
Michael believes that by talking to a child in a mature manner, the child will develop much more maturely at a young age. When his daughter comes to him upset that her fish has died he, with no empathy, tells her that that’s the circle of life, and explains no further. He believes in praising his children relentlessly, constantly telling them how brilliant they are. Hoping that by giving constant high praise will boost their self esteem. As John Medina’s quiz begins, Michael realizes his parenting methods he so strongly believes in, are surely off the mark.
How much do you know about raising a happy, healthy child? Take the quiz to find out! http://brainrules.net/brain-rules-for-baby-video
The parent quiz video was silly and fun, and a great way to learn how to raise a healthy, happy, intelligent child. Some of the questions include how to talk to your child, how to deal with the death of a pet, and if movies and DVDs developed for babies are effective. Parenting is a huge no joke responsibility, however, humor is a necessity in the life of a parent. I really thank John Medina for using a humorous approach to parenting advice. Please check out brainrules.net to answer all your parental questions and concerns. John Medina is an incredible tool to have as a parent, please take advantage of his information.
