Spanish for Children Supported by Barack Obama - Boca Beth Can Help!

Wow!  A potential new president coming right out and saying, “Every child should learn Spanish.”  Now, I did not listen to his speech.  I got clips of it on my Google Alerts.

What I am saying to you as the proud founder of The Boca Beth Program is that we have the solution right here for this country with the most fun, the easiest, the most affordable and realistic solution to introducing Spanish right alongside English!

This is our year Obama!  This is our year all of you monolingual parents and teachers who are frustrated and can’t seem to figure out how to give your child the jump start they need on learning Spanish as a 2nd language or - for the Latino parents - how to maintain your native language for your child as he learns English with pride!

We are going to do it, do it, do it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Conference for Family Child Care Providers Was Work and Worth It!

No one said it was going to be easy, and the past four days proved that right when it comes to sharing my Boca Beth Program with the world!

Ahhhhh….exhibit halls, breakout sessions, hundreds of new people wanting to know about my Boca Beth bilingual music CDs, DVDs, and books for children ages birth - ten.  It’s exhilarating but exhausting!

Boca Beth training session   Boca Beth motivates the NAFCC attendees with music and movement fun!

What I loved most this weekend at NAFCC Conference were the new family child care providers who came up to our adorable exhibit booth in the Schaumburg Convention Center, had never heard one word about Boca Beth, and ended up buying a Boca Beth Bilingual Backpack because they fell in love with the idea!

Thank you Illinois for being such a great state to host such a great conference.  Thank you mi hermana/my sister Mary for working with me and sharing YOUR passion for this fun bilingual program I have created to introduce Spanish and English together even when or even if the parents, teachers and providers are monolingual themselves.

Listen in to Why, When and How You Should Introduce a Second Language to Your Little One

Michelle of MomsTalkRadio.com conducted a great interview with me, Boca Beth, and I would love you to listen in!  Click here to listen in on this short but edutaining radio interview!

I speak to why you should introduce a second (or third and fourth) language to children before the age of five (it helps promote early reading skills, develops the cognitive area of the child’s brain PLUS helps your child gain a lifetime of language learning skills when it’s easier to do so). 

I also address the when you should try to get the language learning going (between the ages of birth and ten is best according to every expert in the field of early childhood education and linguistics PLUS I speak about how, as a monolingual parent or teacher, you can do this introduction of the second language easily and in the car, in the classroom, out at the park, in the kitchen - making it a part of your daily routine which is essential to a young child having the repetition necessary for learning any new concept).

And finally I speak with Michelle about how interaction is the key to beginning the second language journey - that playing with your child as you introduce an engaging DVD that speaks both in the native language and the new language is key along with using music to teach the child Spanish and English together (provided those are the two languages in your family’s life!).

Again … I invite you to listen in by clicking here … then invite me for an interview on your local TV station, radio station or favorite print publication!  I love sharing my Boca Beth passion for second language learning with young children!

Tot Trends Weekly and Kids Trends Weekly Feature Boca Beth

So cool!  So very cool!

Thank you editors of Tot Trends and Kids Trends for wanting to share my passion for second language learning with the young children of our world.

                          

It really helps to have people in the media notice you when you are a small entrepreneur (in the scheme of the big guys out there!!!!) with very little money to advertise and market with.  So when someone who writes for and works with a publication like Tot Trends and Kids Trends  notices you and your product, you are beaming with pride.

Boca Beth and puppet BOCA proud of Tot Trends Weekly coverage

That’s me - Boca Beth - beaming with pride.  Thank you / Gracias.

Thanks Are In Order From Boca Beth to Mel Robbins of Make it Happen & David Perez of Latin Force

We all need mentors.

I keep looking for amazing ones.

I might have found mine in both Mel Robbins of Make it Happen that streams live every Monday-Friday via BordersMedia.com.  (Click here to visit Mel Robbins web site that then leads to her radio show on Borders.)

I had reached out for her after being on the Donny Deutsch show called The Big Idea.  She then invited me on her radio show and decided an introduction to David Perez of Latin Force was in order.  David not only has started many companies himself, he has been instrumental in driving some of the biggest brands in our country into the homes of Latinos and Latinas.  Learn more about his dynamic company called Latin Force by clicking here.

David and I spoke at length yesterday, and I feel like I have a couple of really strategic people on my side……………

Thank you to all of you who might really be instrumental in bringing our Boca Beth Program to next levels and beyond.  “To infinity and beyond!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Inspiration in the form of Mel Robbins and Donny Deutsch Tonight!

I recall giving an inspirational keynote a couple years back with the theme of the evening for these early childhood care providers being An Evening with the Stars (inferring that each of them was a star!!!).  I love motivating, inspiring others……………..yet tonight the inspiration will be provided by Mel Robbins and Donny Deutsch.

Mel Robbins has a dynamic radio show that streams live between 1 pm and 3 pm EST daily here at BordersMedia.com.  She was on Donny’s show The Big Idea a couple weeks back, was amazing, and I reached out for her and - unlike many in today’s busy world - she reached back!  Check out her site, her background and get ready to get pumped up (this link will lead you to her web site where you can sign up for her e-mails).

Then there is Donny - week nights on CNBC with his show titled The Big Idea.  He gives all of us entrepreneurs a kick in the butt every night we tune in, and tonight should be a great one!  Donny has a blog, and if you have an inkling of starting your own company then I suggest you click right here to read it!

So tune in tonight!  Check those links out today!  I know as the owner of The Boca Beth Program I continue to be inspired and motivated with Donny and his rotation of guests to be a champion with my bilingual learning fun for children.
