Parenting at Your Best: Powerful Reflections and Straightforward Tips for Becoming a Mindful Parent
Written by Roni Wing Lambrecht; Illustrated by n/a; Edited by Pamela Kirby, Donna Mazzitelli, Vicki Tosher

Parenting at Your Best comes from a completely different perspective than any parenting book ever written before; from that of a mother and father looking back over their lives as parents after losing their only child in an accident; sharing the things they believe they did correctly as parents, as well as the regrets that often sneak up on them. Their desire is to share the lessons they’ve learned so you may apply them to living in the moment with your own children, especially through the chaos of daily life.

Activating Origami Set

We love origami and wanted to add more to the traditional art of paper folding. By adding simple circuits to paper sculptures you can instantly animate them and create unique sculptures. You can start simple and add a light or two and then make more complex modular systems with your origami robot sculpture. You can also add a small motor and seen how it effects the movement of the sculpture based on where you attach it.
