CBC Ideas - The Hurried Infant

Posted April 25, 2010

I've just finished listening to Part 1 and Part 2 of The Hurried Infant.  I think it's an outstanding program and I urge you to find the time to listen.  Much of the philosophy behind what I've been teaching for over 25 years is based on the type of research this program tells us about.  Turns out it's not just babies who are being hurried -- babies these days have very hurried parents. Listenng to this program just might help you feel more relaxed as a parent, particularly on the subject of choosing the "right" preschool and early reading.

Note: two of the women we listen to in the 2nd half have irritating ways of speaking.  So try to "purposefully ignore" that irritation and still hear what they have to say. 

Here is the CBC Ideas link.

Thanks for posting this. I too listened to the show, mainly the 2nd episode. I like the term “manic compression” the psychologist used to describe the hurried-ness parents can get caught up in. I am a big believer in slowing down my kids’ childhood and enjoying their toddler years. It’s been a good experience so far.
