I’ve caught thousands, if not millions, of ‘teachable minutes’ with kids! What I know for sure is that when we make a conscious effort to capture ‘the teachable minute’ as often as possible, in a variety of settings, we help kids grow smarter and more appreciative.”<BR>—from the book <I>The Teachable Minute</I><BR><BR>The teachable minute is a golden opportunity to teach kids something, anywhere, FAST.

The teachable minute can appear in a car, at the mall, around the kitchen table, at the post office, in the yard, on a plane, in an elevator, at the beach, on the subway, in a rocking chair, at the park, in the bathtub, and anywhere else you can think of.<BR><BR>Dr. Connie Hebert is a nationally acclaimed teacher of teachers, author, motivational speaker, and mother.
