As the fall enrollment for kindergarten approaches, the idea of
delaying kindergarten has become a foremost discussion point between
parents and child care providers. What are the benefits of delaying
kindergarten? What are the problems? How do child care professionals
and families assess a child's readiness for kindergarten?

A child's first words are seen as a developmental milestone, as a symbol of verbal communication and/or social interaction with others. Yet, within this spectrum, concerns arise because some children may not demonstrate speech acquisition, articulation, and development early on.
Do you think that more children are encountering speech delays? Are boys more likely to show greater speech delays or development than girls?

The signs of the holiday season are all around us. This time of year offers a great opportunity to talk to kids about deeply meaningful values. How do you explain the idea of the holiday season to your children and what reasons do you give for celebrating them? How do you answer questions about the beliefs of other cultures?
