Clinton emerges for Brooklyn photo-op - Annie Karni - POLITICO
photo source.
Clinton on Wednesday emerged for her first public event in two weeks, joining a roundtable discussion at a public school in the Brownsville neighborhood to discuss new initiatives urging parents to talk, read and sing to their babies. Clinton appeared at the event with Mayor Bill de Blasio’s wife, Chirlane McCray, who introduced her as “my friend.”
“We were so struck by the brain research,” Clinton told a group of at least a dozen parents, of the importance of being verbal with babies.
By the time children are four-years-old, middle- and higher-income kids hear 30 million more words than their lower-income counterparts. “You are literally building your baby’s brain, to better prepare that little boy or little girl to do well in school and do well in life,” Clinton said.

...That was the mode she was in on Thursday, listening and nodding. When she did pipe up, it was often with an endorsement of parenting skills. “I like the fact that you both take time when the children are with you to really maximize that,” she told two young parents who shared stories of talking and reading to their kids. “It’s one of the important messages for young parents…You’re ahead of the game.”...
...Clinton and McCray did not take any questions from the press. But when a reporter asked her as she was leaving the room whether she will be a regular in Brooklyn – the expected site of her campaign headquarters – Clinton smiled.
“All in good time,” she said. “I’m just happy to be here at this exemplary center supporting the work our first lady and mayor are doing on behalf of kids.”
