We have a new paper out! We found that 25% of children are predicted to deceive by 10 months, and 50% by 17 months, doing things like playing with forbidden objects in secret, and pretending to to hear it's bed time sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

As a parent to a child who has dyslexia...I didn't know how to help him effectively early on. As a teacher, I wasn't taught how to teach reading, & I can't imagine how parents navigate this literacy journey. This is the 3rd interactive document I created & this one is for parents

For young children play and learning are one and the same. 🧠 Take a moment to admire all of the literacy, mathematical, and restaurant knowledge this little waitress puts on display as she takes her parents’ dinner orders. While her writing isn’t yet conventional, watch carefully and you’ll notice that every item her parents list gets its own special mark on her notepad. She has learned that print conveys meaning. Asked about the total bill, she explains - showing them the lengthy list of items she’s captured - that the check will be $100. It’s actually a reasonable estimate. She knows they’ve ordered quite a bit and chooses a large number to match. And throughout, watch how expertly she plays the role of waitress. From asking what they will have to her, “ok guys” as she heads back to the kitchen to place the order. It’s clear that she’s a keen observer of the world around her. A little sponge, soaking up knowledge wherever she goes. 🧽 This sweet waitress was shared to TT by lisaluujolly.
