Valuing Friendships

By Beckard

At what age did your child first begin to develop friendships with other children? Obviously as young children they have kids with whom they interact or play with, but when did they truly begin to develop and understand friendship? As I was reading a developmental textbook, I read that children value close, meaningful friendships, rather than wide range acceptance by peers.

By Beckard

According to Jean Piaget, before the age of about 8 months, children are unable to comprehend that an object or person are still in existence when they can no longer be seen, heard, etc. This concept is referred to as object permanence.

The Secret to Living is giving! And why Actions Speak Louder Than Words!

By kimbaustin

Six weeks into homeschooling and we are loving it!   In my mind, we’re now officially “home schoolers!” I was poignantly reminded of this when we walked into Color Me Mine, a local “make your own pottery place” that we frequent under the guise of “art class”. We were there to pick up our latest masterpieces.

Happy Birthday

By Samual

Enter your post here Darwin would be 200 years old today, which is brilliant as without him the world may still be run by creationists, which would pretty much be hell on earth. Also I only have a few days left of my ban, it does still hurt a bit though, it feels like a pulled muscle now so its ok, if you have a poke about you can feel where the breaks were as there are healing lumps.
