I'm looking for something I can reread when I'm feeling guilty for providing more structure and routines. (Even though my children like it!) Bonus points given for something I can give to others if they question me.

Look up Perry Preschool and the Abcedarian Project if you're curious. Last edited by ultramarina; 04/03/12 05:16 AM.
