What is the Most Effective Discipline for Children?
The January 2010 issue of Scientific American Mind resurrected an old argument about the use of corporal or physical punishment and its impact on children. This age old question is whether and in what circumstances is physical punishment warranted by parents or, for that matter, in programs and schools serving children. While there is little support for using extreme severe physical punishment of children, some still argue that corporal punishment can be appropriate if it is mild or used in moderation.

A couple of week’s ago I had a great opportunity to meet with Dr. Tony Berkley, Deputy Director of Education and Learning at W.K. Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek, Michigan. While most parents (and children for that matter) think mostly of breakfast cereals when they hear Kellogg, you should be aware of an incredible volume of work on behalf of children that is supported by this Foundation.
Our Economic Future Depends on Investing in Children Now
You’ve heard the arguments before, but last week the Partnership for America’s Economic Success (PAES) hosted a National Economic Forum on Early Childhood Investment in Washington DC. This conference continued to champion the importance of investments in early childhood education as essential to the economic prosperity of our country.
Learning is Everywhere
A great resource for families, complete with appropriate, fun and educational activities for children is the Learning is Everywhere calendar, which comes out of the Pennsylvania’s Office of Child Development and Early Learning (OCDEL).
Every month this activity guide provides suggestions for families to use at home with children from infancy through kindergarten. It also provides suggested books for young children as well as helpful hints for parents.
