  1. Hi Robin,
    Thank you for sharing Childhood 101, I like it very much and it is very useful, as well as the Developmentally appropriate practice, andTeach like your hair's on fire is very attractive and I am interested to find more about both of them.

  2. Robin,

    I agree with Safaa that Childhood 101 is an excellent resource that I had never heard of before. The home page has so many great ideas on it, and I was immediately drawn to ideas about brain development through "crossing the midline" exercises. This is a fantastic resource that I am excited to learn more about!

  3. Hi Robin,

    I'm glad you've included Developmentally Appropriate Practice! I've been a huge fan of Susan Bredekamp since I had to read DAP as part of my Bachelor's degree requirements. Though she has stated (and rightfully so) that the handbook is ever evolving, and therefore subject to regular update, I still thought it imperative that I keep the book for reference. It is unfortunate that, though the NAEYC recommends that Developmentally Appropriate Practice be implemented within ALL childhood professional domains, these structures are still not pervasively utilized (NAEYC, 2009). Great share!
