About Me View My Posts
I recently wrote on my YourParentingSolutions.com blog about the new birth order study that's causing all the fuss. The short version is: Researchers think they've proven that first borns have higher IQs, and parents are worried about their later-born kids. I say, reading to them makes up the difference and then some. Not to mention that breastfeeding has more impact than birth order on IQ. Click here... 12/6/2007 12:48:35 PM
