Both of my boys are visual learners and stuff really clicks for them after repetition. So we read the same books over and over, we do workbook pages with similar concepts and we watch educational videos online so they can see how stuff works. I’m not sure what kind of learner my youngest will be […]

Beat the hole-in-the-knee syndrome with Carhartt Jeans for Kids {Review}

He prefers dice games – Monopoly, Yahtzee and so forth. Well Educational Insights has a game that combines both […]
