Teach Your Child About All Career Options

When I was growing up, I earned good grades in school. However, I decided I didn't want to go to college. I enjoyed art, and the only career I knew about when I was young was that of an artist; this led to me deciding when I was young that I didn't "need" to go to college to be an artist. When I told my parents that I didn't plan to go to college, they looked into various artistic college programs for me, and I learned that I could major in graphic art in college. I am very grateful they steered me in the right direction, but I do wonder if many children who don't pursue college simply don't know how many great careers are out there! I decided to create a blog to help parents learn how to take active roles in their children's educational journeys.

Time For Recess: 3 Signs Of A Quality Child Care Program Playground
There is no doubt about it. Kids love playing outside, and their shouts of joy can be heard clear across the neighborhood when they are let out of their classrooms for recess. In child care centers, outdoor areas are definitely favored by children, and your child gets the opportunity to build their gross motor skills while socializing with their friends as they run, climb and slide. While your child is just having fun, every activity has been carefully planned to stimulate their development while keeping them safe.

Is It Worth Having Your Gifted Child's IQ Tested?
If you're the parent of an ultra-intelligent or talented child, you may find yourself simultaneously thankful for the many skills you've never needed to push your child to master and cursing the extra challenges this high intelligence brings. For parents whose own academic performance has always been average at best, knowing how to test your child's limits and manage the educational process can seem like an insurmountable hurdle, even when it comes to issues as seemingly simple as whether to have your child's intelligence quotient (IQ) tested.
