More Child Psychology resources on the way

Stay abreast of new research, theories and great products as well as find some fun links for both kids and parents separated by age group and/or developmental level. Feel free to benefit from a Psychologist's (and his wife who is also a Psychologist) journey through the vast amount of information out there to parents which is sometimes conflicting. The blog will sometimes be more personal reflection while other times more science oriented. I will also be posting the occasional book review.
