you get a box of diapers. There's no
primer for later," she says. "We hope to
be a 'tool box' of sorts, for parents."
Lisa Berman, a West Bloomfield
mother of two, took Serlin and Kaplan's
class when her younger daughter was
still in preschool.
"Nancy and Gerry were so enthusi-
astic, and I feel they were a catalyst for
getting me involved in becoming a
better parent," Berman says. "The dis-
cussions were really well thought out,
and the handouts were great.
Dr. Kaplan says one reason very
bright students — and adults — may
underachieve is that when everyone
tells you how smart you are, anything
less than perfection may fall short of
personal expectations.
"Not trying is a way to not fail or
lose self-esteem," he says.
Kaplan and Serlin both have mas-
ter's degrees in education; she from
the University of Michigan, he from
Wayne State University. They base
their curriculum on combined profes-
sional training, their personal careers
and considerable experience as par-
ents.
"We are each parents of two inde-
pendent, mature adult children,"
Serlin says. "And we work so well
together, we sometimes finish each
other's sentences!"
Serlin, a member of Congregation
Shaarey Zedek, was trained to support
the emotional needs of the gifted by
Dr. James Webb, a published author
and well-known parenting specialist.
She has been the "Science Lady" in
Temple Israel's preschool for 20 years.
Kaplan, a guidance counselor at
Dunckel Middle School in
Farmington Hills, also has a private
counseling practice in Birmingham.
He has worked in public education
since 1969.
He served on the summer institute
teaching staff of his personal mentor,
Dr. Sylvia Rimm, an international
parenting expert. His family belongs
to Temple Israel.
Both instructors say issues of con-
cern to parents motivate their best
coursework.
"Parents are really pretty astute
about their children's abilities, difficul-
ties and special challenges," Dr.
Kaplan says. "That makes our work
more enjoyable."
Paramount customers not only enjoy free checking, but they also collect a consis-
tently higher rate of interest on their checking balances than any other bank in
southeastern Michigan.
