Parents are the first, and most important teachers of their children, not only directly teaching, but choosing products for their children. For preschoolers, the distinction between education and entertainment is subtle. Children of this age group are learning constantly, and the more enjoyment they get from what they watch, read, listen to, or interact with, the more they will take in, and learn. This site looks at a range of resources and media aimed at that critical age before school is started, and assesses the educational and entertainment value of these products. There are also profiles of the artists, writers, and performers involved, interviews, and lots of links to help parents become more informed consumers, choosing the most appropriate products to help give their preschooler a terrific learning head-start.

Though the parenting experience has been well explored in literature, there hasn’t been much on the delights of grandparenting. This relatively small book fills that gap, and provides a series of brief, easy to read, and often pithy and personal essays by well known Australians on their experience in becoming grandparents. |
