My two boys are definitely scientists in the making. Thanks for the reminder that stifling kids curiosity is NOT our job as parents. Phil Hey AJ – really enjoyed this.

This is my kind of post. I am a big fan of the Hayden Planetarium, and mother to a 14 month old boy. I was once a day-care teacher with a whole room full of grabby-handed menaces aka. little scientists. It's a beautiful thing to nurture. When a toddler spills a cup of water, a parent can either freak out about the mess (wrong) or watch it run off the table, then grab a paper towel to demonstrate capillary action (right). Keep up the great work... because I don't have the time to search for these mind-enhancing tidbits on my own :) Thanks, AJ. This is my kind of post.
