Your Competent Child: Toward New Basic Values for the Family
Jesper Juul is better known internationally than he is here in the United States, and, like Benjamin Spock or T. Berry Brazelton, his writing is placed more in the context of early childhood development than in the context of older children. However, like Spock, Juul can be very enlightening because his vision embraces the fundamental aspects of family life. In short, this book calls on families to base their rules on values rather than on authority.

About Bullying Myths
My 12-year-old son is being bullied at school. I want to call his teacher and ask for her help, but his father thinks he needs to learn to deal with the bully himself. What do you think we should do?




Sparking Science Interest

  • Visit a planetarium, aquarium, or science museum, or tour one virtually online.
  • Start a leaf, rock, seashell, insect, or other science-related collection with your child. Use a guide to identify your specimens.
  • Perform a kitchen science experiment, such as mixing cornstarch and water with your hands to make "goo" or using a pan of water to test things that sink or float.
  • Go outside to observe a meteor shower or identify a few simple constellations.
