Raising JD and Dot: From Silicon Valley “Bildung” to the University of Miami ‘Cane Technasium”

by Ellafe Acosta Kiamco-Cockroft, Ph.D            .

About the Author

Inspired by Stanford’s “Teach Your Baby to Read”, when JD was born at the Hospital’s Birthing Center through the LaMaze Method, and before Dot was born played Vivaldi Spring to bond with her while in the womb and prepared her brain to learn and listen, the author was motivated to delve into structured learning goals for JD and Dot.

Living in the san Francisco Bay Area, from Foster City Elementary School, to Bellarmine College Prep in San Jose and St. Francis High School in Mountain View, the author emphasized reading science and assembling tinker toys with focus topics from Energy and Greek Mythology to Performing with PS Performers in the San Francisco Bay Area to Seniors in Assisted Living Facilities, to playing with the Soccer Olympic Development and traveling Basketball and Softball Teams.
