Article on preschool/kindly learning

I know we were talking about this yesterday in the UO, and one of my FB friends shared this article yesterday. It's pretty interesting, and hits some of the points we brought up.

Thanks for sharing! Very interesting. My husband is a teacher and will love this!

I could totally see what they were getting at with the research, too. It made me think about how I handle things with Judith, because there are times when I do try to help her with something more like a teacher, but there are other times when I'm like, "this is the toy, go figure it out on your own." I think the latter wins out more often, and I know I even do that to an extent in the classroom, but there are definitely times in my professional life and home life where I just show her everything and don't let her figure it all out through exploration.
