Conditions of Joint Attention: Connecting
<br>In her book, <I>Apprenticeship in Thinking: Cognitive Development in Social Context </I>(1990), Barbara Rogoff spends a fair amount of time going over the concept of joint attention, particularly in the parent-child relationship. A lot of people might refer to this as “connecting” with a child, but I think there’s something about the word “connecting” that makes the process seem magical and beyond the control of an individual. Establishing joint attention, on the other hand, is an effortful process – not in the sense that it is difficult to do, or even that it has to be done consciously, but in the sense that it is a process in which two people choose to engage.

Learning to Learn, Work, and Play
My just about three-year old daughter and I were driving home one day last week, when I heard her high-pitched voice emerging from the back seat. I initially thought she was role-playing with one of her stuffed animals, but what I heard coming out of her mouth took me completely by surprise. “The poor donkey,” she said, “is so old and tired, he can no longer carry heavy loads to the mill.”

Music Education: What Good is It, any way?
Have you ever heard someone say, "What good are the arts in school anyway? I want my child to learn to read and write, to be decent at math and know a little history." Maybe they don't know that music helps us to appreciate the rhythm of the Cosmos, the biological rhythms, performance rhythms, and perceived rhythm. What was that? Did I hear you say, "So what difference does that make?" I'm glad you asked.
