The voice that made me fall in love with baseball. RIP to Dodger great, Vin Scully.

All politics is local.

The Oscar nominations were released today and the best movie of the year sadly didn’t make the ballot for best picture. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t immediately go watch RRR Movie. It’s on Netflix and you won’t regret it.

It’s been ten years since the rather regrettable episode with Aaron Brown, aka the UCI Overlord, unfolded. This deep dive by Matt de Neef was painstakingly researched and brilliantly written. I am grateful for his journalistic chops. Go read this piece. It’s truly incredible.

Consider, for a moment, just how much there is to learn as a tiny human. Over a period of months, infants and toddlers begin to master language, how to use their bodies to move and accomplish their goals, and so much more… including their culture’s unique social conventions.

What you see in this video is more than a toddler picking out a bag of chips. It’s one of the earliest forms of literacy. “Environmental print” is a fancy name for the written language that surrounds children each day: familiar logos, labels, street signs, etc. Among its

You’ve probably heard of the stages of grief. Now, meet the stages of joy. This sweet video is like a play in three acts. Act One: Did I really just see what I think I saw? Act Two: Okay yes, there is really a Spider-Man bike in the living room. But WHY? And who might it

Focused on the disconnect

Exciting news: Thanks to the great response over the past week, Teachers College Press will be accelerating release of my book, The Daycare Myth. It will now arrive in September (rather than late November). The book is all about the costly and disastrous mismatch between what we know (about

Just wow. I couldn’t be more grateful for - or humbled by - this lovely profile in today’s New York Times, which uplifts not only the babies who take center stage on this channel, but the community we’ve built here. I’ll post a “gift link” in the first reply below, which

Meet the palmar grasp! Juggling both his infant daughter and a load of laundry, this dad - shared to TT by thesingingrealtoralex - managed to briefly lose track of a t-shirt… only to find it was held tightly in his daughter’s hand. It’s a wonderful illustration of the palmar

During pregnancy, we often speak of adults as “expectant.” An expectant mother. Expectant parents. But we aren’t the only ones. As your baby enters the world, they too are expectant. Expectant of your love. Your care and protection. Your active attention. And your

Your baby understands more than you might think. And this is especially true when it comes to language. I’ve written extensively over the years about the gulf between receptive language (that which we understand) and expressive language (that which we can speak), but I’m not
