It’s time for another round-up week for mommy bloggers buzz sharing informative articles and post.

Every learning of a child is also a milestone of a parent. In our advance and busy world today, we should take notice of our young children in what they do and learn. According to the books I have read and to most pediatrician, the toddler age is the starting stage where kids develop their attitude, habits and grasp different learning.

Toddler age at three spend most of his time watching, observing, and imitating the things around him so as parents we should be careful to what we show and act especially in front of our children. I have shared an informative post about “What to expect from your three-year-old toddler?” which covers the three-year old toddler learning and behavior pattern.

Are we ready for the K-12 educational program? As parents with children studying in school, we should be updated and know the important information about the K-12 program. Learn more about the K-12 educational program as Mommy Pehpot shares a detailed information entitled “What is K-12 program?“.

The additional 2 years will be about specializations giving the students 3 choices: academic (for those who will be pursuing College), technical-vocational (for those who’s planning to work as soon as they graduate senior high school) and sports and arts (for those who wants to be in Sports or arts).
