Attractions
I want to tell you about what I am working on and future
projects I look forward to completing.
Two (2) new children’s books have been written and will be
published in 2012. Right now their content is Top Secret!
Look for them to appear on my ‘Books’ page in the spring.
In addition, the following projects are underway:
New York Times-acclaimed author Ellen Singer and I began
collaborating on a mass market parenting book, Motherhood,
My Way: Ten Easy Rules, Five Hard Years - and You're done!
Motherhood, My Way, a fast food-inspired guide
to reducing by two-thirds the time it takes to rear a child,
combines Ellen’s instinct-driven parenting theories with my
professional and personal experience in child development
and is written for women who want to budget their parenting
roles as carefully as they’ve managed their careers and
lifestyles.
Ellen is the internationally bestselling co-author of
Don’t Eat the Marshmallow...Yet! and Don’t Gobble the
Marshmallow...Ever!, which have sold 2.5 million
copies. Don't Eat the Marshmallow…Yet! was a New
York Times book-of-the-month and outsold Harry Potter in
Korea. Ellen is also the author of Quicksand: One
Woman's Escape from the Husband Who Stalked Her, a
Toronto Globe & Mail Book of the Year that has been optioned
by Lifetime Entertainment.
Ellen holds a master's degree in journalism from the
University of Michigan and currently lives in California
with her two daughters and a chow-golden retriever mix.

Study of Learning Preferences |
After writing a mini grant and receiving funding to
study the learning preferences of several hundred students
in grades 2-6 in a suburban elementary public school, I am
heading a team of graduate students who have analyzed the
data and we are preparing our findings for publication. Our
research looked at
learning preferences of students in special education as
well as those in the district's gifted program, and how
learning preferences may change as children mature. The
learning preferences of teachers have been analyzed as well.
Book signings are being scheduled for my two books:
The "O, MY" in TonsillectOMY & AdenoidectOMY: How to Prepare
Your Child for Surgery, a Parent's Manual – second edition
and
Please Explain "Anxiety" to Me! Simple Biology and Solutions
for Children and Parents
