    Reading the article by Rae Pica actually hurts. I know its all over the place but, I can’t stand reading about so many people who ruin kids because they just don’t understand where they are at developmentally.

    Thanks for the linking to the Operation Secret Smiles birthday party! It was months ago and we still talk about it. I have enjoyed getting to know your work here and I am very appreciative of the insight and philosophy. Eager to dive in and learn more!

      I loved it, Sheila! What a fun idea! I’m hoping to do something similar with my boys soon as a summer activity!

    LOVE the Rae Pica article though I must agree with Faigie that it hurts. So far every elementary school I’ve looked at for my kids has a 20 minute lunch. Not enough food or social time combined with not enough recess makes for quite a brutal environment for children.

      This is one of my soapbox issues. Drives me nuts to see a complete disregard – or perhaps ignorance is a better word – for child development in areas where it should not be so. Maddening. Rae Pica did an excellent job with this article. Spread it far and wide!

I’m Amanda Morgan. Here’s what I’m about…

In early education, there is too much distance between what we know and what we do. I bridge the gaps that exist between academia, decision-makers, educators, and parents so that together, we can improve the quality of early education while also respecting and protecting the childhood experience.
