Parenting a preschooler is a big job. They want to do everything themselves, yet their capabilities are not always up to their desires. The trick is to know when to help and when to stand back. Our research spotlights will give you about insight how your child develops and how your everyday parenting moments can help in your child's healthy development. Many of the spotlights have one minute video spots that help to illustrate the content. We hope you will enjoy seeing proof that parenting counts!   more >>
