What’s the best question you’ve ever heard a child ask?

Inspired by this Reddit post.

"I heard a 7 year-old ask if time was real or just something we measured with a clock."

RHGjr comments on What is the best question you’ve ever heard a child ask?

"New research shows that adolescents who quickly backed down during an argument with their mother had a harder time resisting peer pressure to use drugs and alcohol than teens who were able to calmly, persuasively, and persistently argue their point with Mom. Although the findings don’t mean parents should let their kids win arguments, they do underscore that parent-child relationships are an important training ground for how children will handle peer relationships as they grow up, says Joanna Marie Chango, a study coauthor and a graduate student in clinical psychology at the University of Virginia, in Charlottesville."

11 Ragetoon Editions of Classic Kids’ Books

A brilliant collection by Jed Stoneham. While my personal favorite is Strega Nona, I think Green Eggs and Ham is the crowdpleaser.

All this and more at Slacktory.com, a new internet comedy blog we endorse, especially when it writes about children’s books.

Me gusta on a train. BAHAHHAHAHHAHA!

My grade 3/4 class were put in groups to brainstorm about ways in which we help/hurt the environment.

I love what this group came up with.
