10 Laws of Childhood: Behavioral Guidelines for Raising Happier, Healthier, Better-Behaved Children

Raising and educating children are the most important and challenging jobs in the world. Several
sciences are devoted to various aspects of childhood, parenting, and education. The findings obtained by
these sciences are almost always written in language almost no one can read. Yet they contain many
ideas the knowing of which could help children and make the job of parenting easier and more effective.
A primary focus of my career is to sift through these findings and separate the wheat from the chaff, so
to speak. I estimate that the findings are roughly about 90% chaff and only 10% wheat. Most of the
wheat comes from behavior analysis and the more practice aspects of the child development literature.
Once I discover the wheat I reword its message into terms understandable by the many rather than just
the few. Then I set about delivering these valuable reworded ideas to those who could best benefit from
knowing about them: people raising and educating children and people helping people raise and
educating children. This talk will cover ten of those ideas.

Objectives

1. Attendees will learn a parsimonious user-friendly description of how children learn.
2. Attendees will learn the limited role spoken language plays in effective teaching methods for
children.
3. Attendees will learn some of the perils of unfilled time during childrens’ waking hours.
