child: yep. example, the teacher should point out how the children are learning mathematics by measuring the rabbit's growth and estimating how big a cage he's going to need. woman: so what would you make this cage out of-- the top part? child: um, metal. thin pieces of metal. i had a parent last year. i had had her child for two years, and i would say, "come into the classroom," you know. and she said, "well, they just play all day, you know. why should i just come to see them play?" and i said, "well, you know, you should come in and actually see how they play. they take turns. they share. they're learning so many things just from being here." and she had a special-need child, and i say, "you know, she actually needs you to be here." and i said, "why don't you just try volunteering one day? "just come into the classroom and just put yourself in your child's place for one day." so i did get her to come in for a day, and we gave her a star for today, and we made a big issue out of it like, "nicol

child simply because we guessed wrong and didn't share the child's vision of the work? the other trap we sometimes catch ourselves in is when we attempt to judge, evaluate, or compare our children's different creative expressions. why do you think this can do more harm than good? well, one thing i have learned is not to say, "oh, look at da. i like the da." i don't give a label. i've learned not to give a label to children's drawings. instead, i ask them, "tell me about your picture," or i might describe the colors-- "oh, i like the bright yellow that you used" or whatever-- but allowing them to tell me what it is because it may not be anything close to what i think it may be. boy: spiders. hendrick: there are so many ways we can help nurture the creative process. notice how this teacher isn't interfering with the creative process. she isn't telling the children what or what not to draw. spider. a purple spider? oh, ok. hendrick: why do you think this technique is so effective with children? a little assistance and direction can be helpful, but we must also be careful n

during in which time the family child care association, san francisco child cares association and voices have come out in support of the office. there has been a lengthy commute of the process -- community process. obviously having an office will create efficiencies in the system. if this will enable us as a city to better leverage funding for the system, which is particularly important given the enormity the deficit we're facing. this will best serve the families in france for it -- but in san francisco. we need now more than ever to create -- unite around the creation of this office. these false economies hurt the field come and give it to create unnecessary division. the office will include all of these aspects of early childhood care and education. we cannot wait another year for the creation of office. a lot of time and energy has gone into this, and there is an emergency for this office to be created out. i also of a couple of parent letters that are in san francisco advocating today. >> good morning, supervisors. and norman yee, president of the school board. i am here as an indiv

do youant that child?>> aside from the question of whether you're actual creating the child that you think you're creating -- >> you can't, right. >> there's a whole literature about why is there kind of a generation of narcissists. my mom was a college math teacher and so she retired. she talked about how you know, in recent years, right before she retired, she started getting phone calls from her student's parents, about their performance on tests, something that never happened in her entire career. there's a way in which you're not raising a generation of superchildren, you're raising a generation of children who can't take care of themselves. >> there's a part of the so-called attachment parenting that speaks to the issue of autonomy and doing what's best for the child and also against the violence that has happened in child rearing. one of the reasons i think a lot of people got involved in so-called attachment parenting. >> i call yourself that? >> i loosely do. >> you're not posing me on the cover o

it's one thing to meet the needs of your child and to love your child but never leave your child alonere harm than good because it doesn't let the child learn independence. keep the conversation going. i'll read more of your comments in the next hour. we're following a lot of developments in the next hour of the "cnn newsroom." first with martin savidge. >> reporter: i'm in mississippi, carol, where a murder and kidnapping drama came to an end last night just down this dirt road. we'll tell you how the rescue happened coming up. >>> i'm barbara starr at the pentagon. a soldier coming up on three years in captivity. his parents want him home. we'll have details at the top of the hour. >>> and i'm alison kosik at the new york stock exchange. do you own an ipad? well, ipod actually. there's a good chance you may be suing apple because you own one. i'm going to explain why in the next hour. >> all righty. >>> also a study out says 42% of americans will be obese by 2030. an upcoming hbo documentary, weight of the nation, is declaring war on obesity. in 20 minutes i'll talk with the former p

if anything happens to me, would you, please, watch out for my wife and child. that struck my heart of the courage these people have. people who live in china to come to the united states and testify are risking not only their own safety but that of their families to expose the truth of what is going on there. not simply so that we will know what is happening, but so we will take effective action to try to help free the people of china from these horrific human rights abuses. several days later, john chung yung did return to china. feared materialized the. he was beaten, dragged away by four cadres and right in front of his daughter who was screaming and his wife was beaten, and so then i got a call from congressman smith and immediately flew back to washington to speak at a press conference for him to be released. despite this violence, john chung yung has persisted in bravely. in february, 2011, he and his wife released through the china aid association a video showing the horrific conditions of their house arrest. and for that they were severely beaten and le

if we put fire power behind better child care, more affordable child care it will help people to come back into the workplace. one last point, it's not all about money. it's about how we regulate and legislate around child care. i had a recent care in my constituency of a good child minder. been doing brilliant work with the neighbors' children as she went off to work in ox foers. the regulatory burden got too great. she said i'm not a business. i'm not a nursery school. stop inspecting me as if i was a class of 12. i think we do need to look at the regulatory burdens we're putting on to britain's child minders and careers so we can have a system where we're looking after our children properly, but we're also helping people to get back to work to grow our economy. as i say, the agendas are not separate. it's not a soft subject child care over here and hard subject growing the economy over here. the two things are linked and a sensible government that cares about families will bring them together. can i thank you all for coming? thanks the iod for the excellent work you do supporting e

and the news of child abuse always shocked the public. whether it is in the family or in homes, it is something that will start debate about whether we need stricter laws and a tougher judicial system. but when these cases are then dealt with in court, it becomes clear how difficult it is to help the children overcome the abuse. in austria, authorities and courts are taking a new approach to prevent victims from having to suffer yet more trauma when they are confronted by the people who have hurt them. >> when it comes to children, many cases of physical and sexual abuse go unreported, especially when the abuser is a family member, but even when they do go the trial, there is often not enough evidence for a conviction. often the only witness in the case is the victim, but children and teens are usually too afraid and too ashamed to testify. many suffer in silence for years like benjamin. as a young child, he was abused by his foster parents. today, he gets counseling and support from a government agency established to protect children's r

minders and child careers so we can have a system where we're looking

that child may take it.ealth benefits of continued breast-feeding. >> what do you say to that? do you think a kid's going to be ostracized or laughed at because he's breast-feeding at a certain age? >> i can speak from my experience my children have not experienced any of that. and it's something we do in our home. we do it in the privacy of our home. it is not something we want to flaunt to everyone. it's something that works for us. >> what's the big deal? when i saw this cover, maybe i'm different, i didn't see the big deal because i see people breast-feeding all the time, i think that's a normal part of it. and i'm wondering if when i said you're making people feel guilty if we -- if we need to reev reevaluate parenting and when to let go and when to not and when to go back into the job place if at all when you have a kid. do you agree? >> i think that women who want to work should work and find consistent loving care through providers or family. this is not a choice for working moms versus stay at home

the power of the child and the child's belief. and how that child actors and i live on jan -- how that child echoes in our lives. we are very much a product of who we have always been, and most people who knew me as a child, there are a few, they knew me when, back in norwich, new york on jan new york. in delving into my memory, which is what i had to do to make this book, i really found myself relatively unchanged in many ways. experience has all changed. the journey from where we began to where we and has and had some very powerful threats, and that is what i traced in making this book. i'm going to read in early passage of my first public performance come in and take it forward to my first serious performance, in my mind, on homicide. my father dragged us to england, which is in no way a labor to me. while we were there, the british were very serious about drama, even in elementary schools. i got into a play. the play was about queen boadicea, i will set the tone for what comes later in my performance of homicide. here i am in

but using the common sense term, a child refers to whether a woman is carrying a child in utero or it'stentionally to meth or any other controlled substance, we would criminalize that certainly and we do. in the same way an unborn child is a captive audience of the mother and that should be prohibited. >> i want to share with our viewers something, ben, you told the "new york times" magazine. you said i think it would be unequal protection to give the woman a pass when anyone else who ingests drugs into a child would be prosecuted. what do you mean by that? >> the 14th amendment requires equal protection of the law and requires it of all persons. in this case i believe a child would be covered under this law, unborn or born. so if a mother was injecting her 1-year-old child with an illegal substance, we would be up in arms about that. in the same way, an unborn child -- a hort doesn't drink alone when she's pregnant and doesn't do drugs alone. in the same way that child has no choice. it takes what the mother takes, be it crystal meth or oxycodone or whatever substance that mother is ab

[laughter] but the title came from a child asking her tutor, an african-american child asking her due -- tutor, how come you're trying to teach me multiplication? black people just add and subtract, white people multiply. so, of course, that quote stayed with me, and i explained that to avery. and i asked avery, um, did he find in his integrated school in maryland in a very good area that people had the attitude about black children, that they couldn't learn as much. and he said even though he is at the top of his class in mathematics, and he said, yes. he said that a lot of times there are kids, he named some names, and he said, well, they act silly all the time and act up, so people think they don't know how to do anything. and that struck a chord too. and i told him that from what i've unearthed and be all the classes i've been in, a lot of times kids believe that if they don't know something, they have two responses. the first response is to hide out which is the kid in the classroom who pulls the hoodie over his head to try and pretend -- and puts his head on the desk to pretend

my child had the army of one has all of the issues any child could have. i was very aware we need to rethink the notion everybody having to learn in the same way when you have the will publicity we'd need to make sure, in one classroom everybody was doing their work but for black boys were doing nothing. what is going on with them? that is they're learning style. [laughter] no, no, no. that is running around. so at the same time we have to be careful about everything we do is in the name of academic achievement. >> i eight and the assistant principal at the charter middle school. how do we create a space where students can have conversations about race? i want to empower my students to facilitate the conversation to create a culture and the school. >> to the teachers converse about race? and it is a mixed group of teachers? are they add comfortable? >> all of those stages firm relational trust. they may have been initially but as the year progresses is a safer place. >> yahoo! had the conversation with them how they would like to have a conversation about

for example, having a recent photograph of your child. having your child fingerprinted in advance. if they do go missing, you can have those things to hand over to authorities. knowing what your child is wearing. i know it may seem extreme, but knowing what your child is wearing. if they go missing, what did they have on? what did their hair look like? glasses, braces? the features that makes them stand out. if your child is young, knowing they know their full name, their address, how to use 911, if they're older and latch key kids, the safest way to walk to and from school. things like that can make a huge difference when it comes to whether or not your child goes missing. who they play with. we look' etan patz case, he was confessed by the offer of a soda. even if they're familiar with someone, not to change their routine, or accept anything from anyone without calling you first. the alternative is your child may be abducted and we don't want that. >> one of the things to remember, no one thinks it will happen to them, but the parents of these missing children thought that as wel
