Too Much Information

Jenny and I have recently gone into information overload mode. Too many books arriving from Amazon, and not enough time or energy to digest things and talk it through. Consequently, communication and coordination are taking a back seat to the basic tasks of keeping Quinn fed, changed, and content.

But lately we've been feeling the compulsion to really work through some of the basic principles. And it ain't simple, like planning a vacation. It's more like planning sunny day out at the beach -- in Scotland. You just can't make any decisions until the moment of action. Of course, you can just trudge forward and open the picnic basket despite all the mess of rain pouring down, but that doesn't seem to be our kind of approach.

Anyhow, I recently encountered a web site I can really sink my teeth into -- one which has a seriously scientific and evidence-based perspective that I can appreciate, and most importantly, trust. For all you parents out there who might have a similar orientation, http://www.parentingscience.com/index.html.
