Summary On our Feature Report, we present the second installment of our three part series on Brain Development. We look at the controversy surrounding the Zero to Three Movement which advocates that social policy and resources be focused predominantly on the first three years of a child's life. The story features interviews with Dr. Margaret McCain, Co-chair of The Early Years study and a dissenting opinion from John Bruer, Ph.D. author of "The Myth of the First Three Years". Dr. Otto Weininger, child psychologist and Pediatrician Dr. Daune McGregor address the issue of whether extra stimulation in the early years leads to even brighter kids. On our Reality Check we look at the cost and competition surrounding kids' birthday parties. On our Consumer Segment, Tina Vrlak discusses diapering choices and accessories. On our Video Diary, the beginning of a two part series on the Kirke family.
