Hubby and I have date night on Friday night, and lately on Saturday too. Like most of you, we don’t let hiring a babysitter get in the way of us having a date. Tonight my hubby came across a video online about some of the brain myths out there.
This is what Dr John Medina who is the director of The Brain Center for Applied Learning Reserach at Seattle Pacific University had to say.
“Brain Myth: If I just teach my kid French and German and calculas before the age of 4 they are going to grow up to be really really smart…..if I make this intellectual hot house they are going to be really smart.
You know what the single greatest predictor of academic success is?
It’s the emotional stability of the home!
So you want to get your kid into Harvard? Go home and love your husband!”

Happy dating everyone!
Hey Mika, would love to hear what you guys do for date night as we’re trying to reinstitute it in our household too!
Awwww, that’s so beautiful! I’ve been really enjoying your blogging this week. I haven’t got round to doing any myself, so have lots of catching up to do at some point. I couldn’t agree more with this post. Love is the most important gift we can give to each other for our overall emotional, physical and intellectual well-being. Have a very happy weekend and enjoy the sunshine! I’m looking forward to a ‘date’ night with my hubby tonight. Children in bed early (tired out in the sunshine) and we have a movie to look forward to.
