\"\"Hello friends,<\/p>\n

An article I wrote was just published in Tots to Teens.\u00a0 You can read it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And now for a smattering of the groovy stuff I’ve been reading and learning and thinking about … I have found a fab website by a smart gal named Rebecca Haines.\u00a0 Here blog is fantastic – here is just one example<\/a> … tools for teaching media literacy to preschoolers.<\/p>\n

She also has me coveting this range of dolls<\/a> …\u00a0 bodies that are to scale with actual children instead of all the big boob, permanent high-heel feet we all know so well.<\/p>\n

In this season of covetousness, I am grateful for this post from the folks at Hand in Hand<\/a> Parenting.\u00a0 It is all about the gift inherent in a loving parental “No”.\u00a0\u00a0 This<\/a> is a free online psychology textbook called “the Noba Project”, here is a link<\/a> to a write up about new research into a likely cause of SIDS, and this link is a description of research<\/a> into the differences between the male and female brains.<\/p>\n

Here is an excellent website<\/a> sponsored by the government of South Australia – it’s called Great Start and it is overbrimming with lovely play-based learning ideas to explore with children.<\/p>\n

One last thing: this project<\/a> was launched in opposition to the post-Thanksgiving “Black Friday” shopping frenzy.\u00a0 I am completely in love with the idea of mending stuff we have instead of buying more stuff!\u00a0 At this point, gentle geeks, the leggings that my Big Girl wears to school are more darn than fabric.\u00a0 When to give it up?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
