    Hi Beth Ann!

    TOTALLY, and I 100% hear you. Here are a few interesting pieces:

    Predictors of Student Achievement, and What Children Need from Parents:
    What Research Says About Parent Involvement
    The New Science of Child Development

    Benefits of Delaying Formal Education
    PISA Worldwide Ranking Scores
    Mental Health Benefits for Delaying Kindergarten

    Also, my husband Ken LOVES talking to dads about this kind of thing, b/c he was a skeptic and now is SOLD. Feel free to email if you ever want to connect with him!: hello@othergoose.com. :)

    I’m so glad you’ll be seed bombing with your 3-year-old — I’ve got a lover-of-mix-and-messes over here, too, and it was a total hit! You can store your dried seed bombs for up to six months in a sealed container. I’d just be sure they’re fully dry before you store them. :)

    What a LOVELY idea to gift them for the holidays! Enjoy!

    xo,

    Yes, exactly! (Thanks for weighing in, Mel!) It’s our way of keeping the bigger picture top of mind while working through our lessons. :) And for me, personally, it’s a great reminder to focus on something specific as a parent! I tried my best to keep “Good Manners” top of mind while my son spilled his eggs at the kitchen counter last week… ;)

    We’re actually creating one RIGHT NOW! Eta 2020. :) But until then: what age levels are your kids? Are you looking for a lesson plan section, as well as larger goals/progress tracking? Do you need any space to journal? We’ve heard great things about this one!

    Totally on the same page over here, Tala! When the ship wrecks, for me, is when those rare borrowed moments of peace aren’t spent wisely. If I’m storing them up to stare into a phone, to scroll through a sea of voices and expectation. My motto: When I’m given quiet, I stay quiet. When I’m given space, I take up my space. If time is offered, I do my darn best to make it count. :)
