We met up with a couple of the other kids from daycare on Saturday morning at the Skirball Cultural Center to check out Noah’s Ark. I’d been wanting to take the boys here for a while, and when discoverLA came out with its “Discover The Arts” 50% off deal, I jumped on it. I think its safe to say everyone had a really fun time.

WWW. 26th Marchkottke.org: Children should be allowed to get boredSo says education researcher Teresa Belton:
The academic, who has previously studied the impact of television and videos on children’s writing, said: “When children have nothing to do now, they immediately switch on the TV, the computer, the phone or some kind of screen. The time they spend on…
This is what I call “benign neglect.” I had a happy childhood, but I don’t necessarily remember my parents spending every waking moment entertaining and indulging me. Would I be the incredibly handsome, cool guy that I am today if I hadn’t spent so much time in my room going over my Dungeons and Dragons manuals?
Once your kid has graduated into Tiny Real Person status, they are ready for some benign neglect. It can be hard, but some days you need to push through the immediate insistence on your involvement and become that “old-school” parent that nods off on the couch, lazily watches some boring thing on TV or simply checks out for awhile. Ya know: that horrible dictator who won’t let their kid have the iPad even though they aren’t using it. Boredom is a great catalyst for the imagination!
Totally agree.

WWW. 21st MarchToddlers tend not to share, but give it time - latimes.comLA TimesToddler Sharingtoddler's brainSharingI wonder how many of these kids in the study were siblings or only children and whether that affected their ability to share at age 5 or 6. This morning, I was pretty shocked when Chris (who will be 19 months tomorrow) gave back a car he had snatched from his big brother’s hand. I think siblings, especially the ones closer in age, learn to share much earlier.
About
I'm finding that "hack" is pretty much a synonym for "mom."
Noun 1. hack - one who works hard at boring tasks. a. unskilled person - a person who lacks technical training. b. plodder, slogger - someone who works slowly and monotonously for long hours. Verb 2. hack - be able to manage or manage successfully; "I can't hack it anymore"; "she could not cut the long days in the office." 6. hack - fix a computer program piecemeal until it works; "I'm not very good at hacking but I'll give it my best."
