All About Kids' Learning and Playing
| I got this wonderful article from one of my egroups, about how children play and another article on the advantage of your child being a bit more "matured" than the others in his class, and it gave me peace as to having Franco start the long journey of schooling this year, instead of last year - when most of his batchmates started. if it was my choice, i would have "forced" him to attend schooling last year, probably because of pressure from friends whose kids - about franco's age - were already attending a-5-day-a-week schooling. Old-Fashioned Play Builds Serious Skills http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=19212514&sc=emaf Taking Play Seriously http://www.nytimes. When Should a Kid Start Kindergarten http://www.nytimes. They're quite long reads (i haven't read them all yet, as of writing), but I'm sure if you're on the same boat that I am, you'd find this very interesting. Enjoy!
