We are very proud to announce that Dr. T. Berry Brazelton, America's most celebrated and influential baby doctor since Benjamin Spock, will be the 2008 Children: Our Link to the Future keynote speaker.

Among his 38 books on pediatrics and child development is "Infants and Mothers", which has been translated into 18 languages, and read by more than a million families in this country. "Working and Caring" offers advice for working parents on raising children. "The Earliest Relationship" written by Dr, Bertrand Cramer, was published in 1990. "What Every Baby Knows" and "Families: Crisis and Caring" discuss the parenting concerns of ten families featured on his LIFETIME television series. "Touchpoints" appeared in October 1992 and has reached nearly a million families. Dr. Brazelton's recent book, "Going to the Doctor", is for children, to allay their anxiety when they see their pediatricians. Three videotapes for parents and professionals, also called "Touchpoints", are commercially available.

Dr. Brazeltons's lifelong contributions to families and children have been extraordinary. By working within the system of health, child development, and public policy his voice of influence continues. His passion, unwavering dedication and leadership to improve the health and welfare of children and families demonstrates his unique ability to integrate the best research and knowledge and communicate it's applicability to families across the world.
