I really think that the "Life Skills" section is imperative! I feel that life skills are sometimes ignored and they are so important to have.

I like that they have a Community and Homework help.

I am interested in the articles on Learning Personalities and kindergarten readiness

I also like that you can sign up and get summertime tips from teachers.

This is a very good resource site.

My child is gifted in many areas and contrary to popular belief, it doesn't make life any grander!
It may make things a little more challenging and interesting though!
Trying to make excuses for and brand new definitions for your 3 yr old reading the tabloids in grocery lines is not an easy task!
I am so happy that this site addresses our issues also. All kids are special and all kids learn in different ways; sometimes it really is the gifted children who get overlooked because the rationalization is "OH, he/she is goina make it just fine"...
Yes, they will. As long as they have love, guidance and the opportunity to be stimulated intellectually.

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 6/28/2008 7:49 PM  

I like that it's broken up by ages/grade.

By Blogger mverno, at 6/30/2008 2:07 PM  

Bot the "Is my child on track" and "Learning personalities" articles were very interesting and helpful. You want to steer clear of comparing your child to others but you definitely want to know if he/she needs extra help.

By Blogger joahsgrandma, at 6/30/2008 2:11 PM  

I liked "Why Barefoot Is Best." They love to run around with naked feet and now I feel justified to let them go for it inside.

By Blogger Tonya, at 6/30/2008 6:42 PM  

Favorite feature: how the parents' guide is organized by age groups

Favorite article: several of the ones in the reading section. I really liked the article from RIF that talks about how to build a family library, something I am working on with our baby!

Thanks for the entry.

I like that you can research your child's school.

By Blogger Susan, at 7/01/2008 4:29 AM  

I'm a teacher AND a mom, so lets see here...the magazine articles are nice. My husband is a tutor so the Adventures in Tutor is enlightening. I like the articles about cooking and stamp collecting to help parents see the educational value in "everyday" activities. What I would like to see is a checklist/form that parents could access in order to generate guides to help make the most of activities like that. Such as selecting "trip to the zoo" "age 2-6", and some printable sheet would result that would tell little extra things to do (note the large size of the elephant; ask child to try to walk like an elephant with you!) and facts (elephants eat 70 pounds of hay each day! That is like TWO of you!) to make a family zoo trip like a field trip.
There could be similar sheets for things like planting seeds, baking a cake, painting a picture, etc.

My 5 yr old son has autism, and we are always looking for new toys that will engage and teach him useful play skills. I thought the special needs section was right on target with a good variety of toys that might appeal to a broad range of special kids. These toys look like they have a long life and would be good to pass on to friends!

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 7/01/2008 6:00 AM  

I like the life skills and health sections. I'm going to show my son the activities for fun

By Blogger littlelatina, at 7/01/2008 7:57 AM  

My favorite article was I Can do it Myself (NAEYC). We're struggling with this right now.

By Blogger jennem, at 7/01/2008 8:22 AM

i was just reading about the studies done with children in daycare. that the average daycare kids were more likely to act up and have tantrums while those at better quality daycares the children were respectful and made friends easier. i guess it does matter what child care facility you use.

What a great site! I bookmarked it. We are a home educating family and I am always looking for new ideas.

By Blogger Heather, at 7/03/2008 2:06 PM  

Really good site! I'm a teacher and I will definitely be going back. This year I have a challenge because I'll be out of the regular classroom and in a Resource Room, where I'll be working with students from 1-7 grade. The breakdowns for each grade - with imformation about Academics, Social, and Emotional "benchmarks" will be great for helping me to understand the range in ages I'll be working with. I also like the "Easy ways to incorporate math learning at home this summer" ideas. Thanks so much!

I like (need) the homework help feature and I also like the section on life skills.

By Blogger pitaharmon, at 7/20/2008 4:35 AM  

I found the by age category helpful because my kid is a teenager and I hate to get past the toilet training stuff to get to information important to me. I liked the Helping your teen decide what to do after high school and money management articles. I would have liked to have a link to the test they gave to see what my teen knows and where I am lacking.

By Blogger calgirl, at 7/20/2008 7:49 AM  

I love this site what helpful information! Great ideas for things for me to do with all my grandchildren

By Blogger sabb266, at 7/20/2008 7:59 AM  

As an homeschooler, I like to get info from a lot of educational sites. This was the first time I recall seeing this one. I like Smart Stuff: Our Essential Gift Guide and the article about what to expect in third grade. Thanks for the contest.

By Blogger Tammy, at 7/20/2008 8:05 AM  

features that I find most beneficial are the Learning Personalities and the money management articles.

By Blogger Unknown, at 7/20/2008 8:16 AM  

What a great site. I love that they have a section on special needs and all those articles on autism.

By Blogger candigrlme, at 7/20/2008 8:52 AM  

Thank-you for such a great link to a really great website. So many great features to assist in so many different things for parents of school age children. I will definitely be using the math help section for middle school students. Also, found alot of information in the Learning Personalities section that will be very helpful. Thank-you to the wonderful sponsors.

I live at the beach, and have a grandbaby. I need to keep her entertained and safe, so the Best Beach Activities would make a great start. As far as products go, you didn't miss a thing. This site would be all you need. Thanks for the info!

There is alot of info. on this site. I like how it has homework help and I also like the preschool section. vidomich(at)yahoo(dot)com

homework help, the teen years and 20 Tips to Promote Positive Self-Esteem are my favorites. garrettsambo@aol.com

This site is a definate bookmark. I was so happy to read the article on preschool boys pretend playing with guns. My son will make a gun out of anything and I was really starting to get worried. Now I see it is normal and ways to curb the play instead of banning it. I was also glad to discover the Help for Speech Development: Preschool they had good suggestions for me to help my son with his speach.

I like the articles like "Warning Signs of learning Disabilities". I also like the craft projects. Children like to make things that their parents can use.

I love the articles and craft projects that are seperated by age groups. I have several children that range in age and it is nice to get better ideas to help each one. I also like that the learning activities for my son who is one and a half. He often gets bored and needs more stimulation. He is learning so fast now he is like a sponge.

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 7/21/2008 5:56 AM  

Boy, this is a great site! So much information. I read about the learning disabilites the most because that is what I am dealing with with my boys. I want to win! Thanks so much for the giveaway!

By Blogger ldrnc2000, at 7/21/2008 7:01 AM  

Wow, what an amazing site with so much information. I really enjoyed the Parent's Guide to each grade level. They were very helpful in streamlining the information we should know for each grade level.

By Anonymous Anonymous, at 7/21/2008 7:19 AM  

I like the area about Gifted Children. There needs to be more information out there for those parents to use as a tool.

I love that you have a section on Dyslexia. My daughter has it and now it looks like her daughter might have it, too.

By Blogger plhill2000, at 7/21/2008 8:27 AM  

"Is My Child on Track?" is a great section. I have twins that were born 2 months prematurely, and checking up on their progress helps me find and address any developmental delays.

By Blogger 37 Questions, at 7/21/2008 10:02 AM  

What a great site and opportunity to know if your child is on track. First grandchild and Daughters first baby, this would be great. Have 4 teachers that teach special ed in my family, they'll love this site!

By Blogger judis121, at 7/21/2008 11:52 AM  

My favorite feature is the Reference Desk. It has all the important articles listed in one spot so they are easy to find. I liked the kindergarten readiness section, very helpful.

By Blogger Steph, at 7/21/2008 11:55 AM  

The parent guide is divided by grade ... my favorite feature!

By Blogger mrstrooper, at 7/21/2008 5:11 PM
