Concept development in kids by
Todd Smith
I don't have children, but I thought it would be interesting to know
if a 3-4 year old kid would know that a brick (or something else shown
to them to be heavy by an adult) would not bounce if dropped on the
ground, and what his answer would be if you asked about dropping it on
a trampoline...

iowacookiemom
I've been asked to speak to a group of mothers of preschoolers at a
nearby church on the topic of kindness. I want to focus mostly on
ways to model kindness with our children but I thought it would be fun
to also provide a little bibliography of children's books that have

team, which means she'll be at the pool a *lot* this
summer. DS is taking tennis lessons as well. And
DD will continue her Irish Dance...

Homemade adaptations of store-bought gifts by

I bought my youngest niece a Groovy Girls doll this week, and
afterwards decided that she wasn't warmly enough dressed. So I

would like a certain kind of shirt. It sounds vaguely familiar to me,
but I can't identify...
