Play-Learn-Grow-Repeat

Play. Learn. Grow. Repeat. isn’t really about GrowUpLearning. It’s about growing up, how kids do it, and how parents—we hope—will help. Our contributors are three young mothers not unlike you, or perhaps your spouse.

Monday Mom is self-employed, but she has been a teacher. She’s also in the process of learning how to be a single parent. She lives in the mid-Atlantic states, where she works from home… at least when she’s not out running after-school activities for other children. Monday’s child is three, and will turn four soon.

Wednesday Mom gave up her marketing job to be a stay-at-home mom. Her husband is a Naval aviator, so he is away for months at a time… usually in places very far away. At the moment, they live in the very hot central valley of California, but a move is in the works. Wednesday’s child is just two, and very, very two.

Friday Mom is an attorney practicing in a mid-sized firm on the east coast. By chance, her mother is a school psychologist. Friday Mom says that’s OK anyway. Friday’s child will turn two at the end of the year.

We don’t guarantee that what you’ll hear from these three women will always be profound. It will, however, be genuine: reflections on how parenting changes your life; how children learn and discover; and what moms and dads and extended families can do to help their children and one another.

Each of our moms writes once a week. We hope you will write back—with comments, suggestions, or other reactions. These little folks don’t come with instruction manuals, so we’re all finding our way as best we can.

We hope you’ll join us; we’re all in this together.

Play. Learn. Grow. Repeat.
