Episode #3.9

Summary Imagine the frustration - and anxiety - when the world you see looks different than the world that everyone else around you sees. That's the experience of up to ten percent of school-aged children who are coping with dyslexia. This often undiagnosed condition can have devastating effects on a child's self-esteem, and can become debilitating in adulthood. For this feature report we talk to Dr. Maryanne Wolf, of the Center for Reading and Language Research at Tufts University, David Day, a Reading Therapist and Suzanne Day a Psychoeducational Consultant. Meet a family that's triumphed over dyslexia. Find out how they spotted it just in time. Freelance writer David Eddie and his 2 old son hit the park for a sociological study - and perhaps a quick swing - to analyze the rules and regs of playground etiquette. The anticipation of a new baby arriving is usually a happy time, where the mom-to-be is surrounded by activities, well-wishers and baby showers. But the reality of being at home with a newborn can mean long hours alone. Unexpected loneliness can set in. In this "How To", Ann Douglas, author and mother of 4 and new Mom Yvette Erdos-Levine discuss strategies to alleviate new mom loneliness. Twelve year old piano prodigy Pearl Chen and her family document the ups and downs of their very busy life in this video diary.
