Introduction

I am the mother of two little boys, one who is three and one who just turned six. My six-year-old is in kindergarten, and he's a fun, smart little boy who has a hard time learning things that aren't fun or clearly applicable to his life. His teacher wanted him to do tutoring on Tuesdays, but I think that the last thing he needs is one more hour of school each week! What he needs is time to play, and if I can sneak some learning into his play, I figure that's a bonus.

I have a background in psychology, and I work part-time helping develop early childhood and achievement tests, so I might know a little bit more than your average person about child development and academic skill development, but I'm not a teacher. Basically, I'm just a mom trying to make learning fun for my kids, and I want to share my ideas with others, hence the blog.

Enjoy!
