Flower, right now I'm reading "A Parents' Guide to Raising a Gifted Toddler," by James Alvino. Frankly, I don't think it's adding much to what I already know or already did with my older DS. I'm an information collector, though, so I like to read whatever I can.

Btw, my older DS navigated perfectly fine with a standard mouse by about 27 months. My 26 month DS still needs some help moving his wrist, but he has the finger click down. Both have trouble on our laptops with the rollerball, though.

My general rule of thumb is that 30 minutes of computer a day is enough (and most days, little DS doesn't use it at all), but my older one has used it more than that plenty of times and hasn't seemed to rot his brain yet!

Btw, with Starfall...my little DS (I need another name for him!) is now onto ABC Reading Eggs. Again, he can't play on his own, but he likes it. If you search on the WTM website, a woman shared a code that gets you 3 months of free use!
