My Smart Infant: SmartGuide-Newborn to 6 months (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692145098)

Bonnie Rosenstein obtained her certification in Elementary Education with a Bachelor of Science from the University of Hartford and a Master of Arts from Adelphi University. She has more than twenty years' teaching experience in the education field from infants up through sixth grade. She has been a pre-kindergarten teacher in various preschools and developed and executed a "Learning to Read" program, and most of the students were reading by the end of pre--kindergarten. She taught several grades in elementary school, wrote children's computer software programs for a start-up Internet company, and was instrumental in the setup and development where she worked her way up from a teacher to a directorship position of a Corporate Back-up Childcare Center for several years. Bonnie's greatest experience has been raising her own two children who are now teenagers. From the time her children were newborns, she engaged them in various enrichment activities and documented everything she and her children did. Other parents turned to her for advice about how and what to do to with their children to educate and enrich them. Bonnie's husband, Rich, inspired, motivated, and encouraged her to gather all her research and information to help other parents, which is how mySmartChild was created. Both of Bonnie's children are in gifted, honors, and taking college-level classes in high school and are significantly succeeding at a well above-average rate in their subject areas. The support and educational foundation they received at home gave them what they needed to succeed in school. Though her children work independently and have excellent academic and organization skills, Bonnie remains involved in both children's education and many after-school activities. One of Bonnie's specialties is knowing how to prepare children for an IQ test before they enter kindergarten and score above average for parents seeking elementary and middle schools with gifted programs. Originally from New York, Bonnie currently lives in South Florida. She keeps up to date with current educational research and trends. She is truly passionate about a child's early learning at home prior to entering preschool or kindergarten. She knows that with the right tools and information, new parents can ensure that their babies will be on a very nurturing and educational path.
