More Resources

"The Philosophical Baby" by Alison Gopnik (www.alisongopnik.com)
I have yet to read this book but it came highly recommended.
In The Philosophical Baby, Alison Gopnik reveals the latest scientific discoveries--many of them quite surprising--about the developing minds of young children. She also presents a richly provocative and endlessly insightful story that unites the endearing other-worldliness of children's imaginations with some of the oldest and most profound questions in philosophy. This book is at once touching, eloquent, and masterful in its fascinating revelations about what makes us human.

    I really liked the additional resources that you provided as a teacher. I always tell other visitors that come into my classroom, that as part of being a teacher you have to study childrens language. With that being said the 100 languages of children is a great resource to have. Being a child is fun and as you watch children to learn how they can use their imagination. I really enjoy your website, keep up the good work we are half way done.
