Quick Links - Play is Good and Others - 15 October 2007

Haven’t updated the blog in a while. So, here’s some links out to stuff I found over the week or so.

- Children’s learning should be fun, says heads
Head teachers in the UK have come out strongly in support of having children below the age of six learn through play. They are against children entering formal education at the age of five as studies in Scandinavia has shown that starting formal education later could boost academic performance in the long term. Hmmmm … maybe we should do that for Matthew. I’m sure he’ll be more than happy. Play is always better than studying!

- Free parenting e-books
Parentwonder.com has compiled a list of 36 e-books, that are free and downloadable, on a range of parenting topics. I particularly like the ones on being a dad, child discipline and handling their tantrums.
