fave features and articles -- Is my child on track is perfect for the first time mum (like me) to use as a reference. The browse by age feature is very useful! The Nature of Children's Play and Video Wasted on Toddlers, Unless it’s Interactive articles were very interesting reads.

I like that you can look at a list of articles sorted by school year -- we're in preschool now, but I'm looking ahead to kinder.

I appreciate the section dedicated to Special Needs. I work with this population and found several resources that will help me and the families that I work with.

Thanks for the discovery and the chance to win!

I really think that the "Life Skills" section is imperative! I feel that life skills are sometimes ignored and they are so important to have.

I like that they have a Community and Homework help.

I am interested in the articles on Learning Personalities and kindergarten readiness

My child is gifted in many areas and contrary to popular belief, it doesn't make life any grander!
It may make things a little more challenging and interesting though!
Trying to make excuses for and brand new definitions for your 3 yr old reading the tabloids in grocery lines is not an easy task!
I am so happy that this site addresses our issues also. All kids are special and all kids learn in different ways; sometimes it really is the gifted children who get overlooked because the rationalization is "OH, he/she is goina make it just fine"...
Yes, they will. As long as they have love, guidance and the opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.

By  Anonymous, at 6/28/2008 7:49 PM  

I like that it's broken up by ages/grade.

By  mverno, at 6/30/2008 2:07 PM  

Bot the "Is my child on track" and "Learning personalities" articles were very interesting and helpful. You want to steer clear of comparing your child to others but you definitely want to know if he/she needs extra help.

By  joahsgrandma, at 6/30/2008 2:11 PM  

I liked "Why Barefoot Is Best." They love to run around with naked feet and now I feel justified to let them go for it inside.

Favorite feature: how the parents' guide is organized by age groups

Favorite article: several of the ones in the reading section. I really liked the article from RIF that talks about how to build a family library, something I am working on with our baby!

Thanks for the entry.

I like that you can research your child's school.

By  Susan, at 7/01/2008 4:29 AM  

I'm a teacher AND a mom, so lets see here...the magazine articles are nice. My husband is a tutor so the Adventures in Tutor is enlightening. I like the articles about cooking and stamp collecting to help parents see the educational value in "everyday" activities. What I would like to see is a checklist/form that parents could access in order to generate guides to help make the most of activities like that. Such as selecting "trip to the zoo" "age 2-6", and some printable sheet would result that would tell little extra things to do (note the large size of the elephant; ask child to try to walk like an elephant with you!) and facts (elephants eat 70 pounds of hay each day! That is like TWO of you!) to make a family zoo trip like a field trip.
There could be similar sheets for things like planting seeds, baking a cake, painting a picture, etc.

My 5 yr old son has autism, and we are always looking for new toys that will engage and teach him useful play skills. I thought the special needs section was right on target with a good variety of toys that might appeal to a broad range of special kids. These toys look like they have a long life and would be good to pass on to friends!

By  Anonymous, at 7/01/2008 6:00 AM  

I like the life skills and health sections. I'm going to show my son the activities for fun

By  littlelatina, at 7/01/2008 7:57 AM  

My favorite article was I Can do it Myself (NAEYC). We're struggling with this right now.

i was just reading about the studies done with children in daycare. that the average daycare kids were more likely to act up and have tantrums while those at better quality daycares the children were respectful and made friends easier. i guess it does matter what child care facility you use.

Really good site! I'm a teacher and I will definitely be going back. This year I have a challenge because I'll be out of the regular classroom and in a Resource Room, where I'll be working with students from 1-7 grade. The breakdowns for each grade - with imformation about Academics, Social, and Emotional "benchmarks" will be great for helping me to understand the range in ages I'll be working with. I also like the "Easy ways to incorporate math learning at home this summer" ideas. Thanks so much!

This site is a definate bookmark. I was so happy to read the article on preschool boys pretend playing with guns. My son will make a gun out of anything and I was really starting to get worried. Now I see it is normal and ways to curb the play instead of banning it. I was also glad to discover the Help for Speech Development: Preschool they had good suggestions for me to help my son with his speach.

I love the articles and craft projects that are seperated by age groups. I have several children that range in age and it is nice to get better ideas to help each one. I also like that the learning activities for my son who is one and a half. He often gets bored and needs more stimulation. He is learning so fast now he is like a sponge.

My favorite feature is the Reference Desk. It has all the important articles listed in one spot so they are easy to find. I liked the kindergarten readiness section, very helpful.

As a speech/language pathologist these could facilitate developmental norms for child development in all parameters. Thanks SW

I like the section about detecting learning disabilities. It is so important to have early detection.

I like the Life Skills resource center and the Help With Shyness article.

I just spent way too much time looking up schools, and learning about teachers, students, test scores, and more! I explored other areas, but I want to go back and study some more. Thank you for the opportunity to win!
