Help Me Help Myself

LOVE this article - although it's geared toward the preschool child ages 3-6, it is a good primer for all of us working with younger children and even infants. So many times, I find that a 6 month old infant becomes fussy because he cannot reach his arms far enough to get the toy he wants... he can almost crawl, but is not yet there. What a great example of how (just as the article describes) the SKILL to crawl leads to independence & confidence.
