Author: Rachel QuachI'm at the age where my friends are starting to get engaged. My sister, who is four years older is at a different stage. She has a kid and a lot of her close friends are starting their families. So, although I am not quite there yet, there are a bunch of kids/babies in my life. My sister and cousins all have kids that range from 8 months all the way to 8 years old. Recently, my cousins from Australia came for a visit and brought their baby boy. We had big family gatherings where all the kids got to hang out together. Seeing all the babies interact and play with each other got me thinking. Being a kid is so great and so simple. You're just learning how to talk and walk. People applaud when you finish your food or learn a new word. When you're a baby, you can do no wrong. If you stare at a stranger or take someone else's toy, its funny and cute. Your biggest worry is getting that balloon at a party or eating your food and drinking your milk.

Its pretty amazing witnessing kids grow up....more

Building blocks are one of the best development toys that you can purchase for your children. Child development experts believe that the use of creative play, such as building blocks, help children excel throughout their life. As a parent, you should learn how and when to use different blocks to enhance a childs learning. Kids have played with wooden building blocks long before there were video games or electronic toys. One of the great things about blocks is they are powered by a childs imagination, not by batteries or electricity. Today, building blocks are available in age ranges from babies and infants to older children who can build castles and other architectural structures. Popular brands include Melissa and Doug Toys, Maxim and Citiblock.Soft blocks are recommended for infants from twelve to fifteen months because they are large enough for little hands and provide a safety cushion should the child fall on the blocks. Young children will learn spatial recognition skills while they learn to stack the blocks into a tall tower or smaller columns. Even at this age, you can begin to teach a child math skills by counting the blocks as you build towers.For toddlers over the age of...more
