Yes, but how about you also volunteer to mentor the child in the subject? So many children don't have non-parental mentors in our current North American family situation. I totally wish my two boys had grown up with a non-nuclear male role model. (husband's an only, I only have unmarried sisters - so no uncles at all!) That doesn't mean do it for them. (I often tell parents of young children that they need to let them test gravity while they're still young enough to bounce, rather than them testing it in the family car at age 16. Then I watch how their faces change when they parse what I'm saying and the light bulb goes on and the head nods that little bit!) It means asking questions and letting them talk out their theories and thoughts.Yep I am that irresponsible uncle who gives kids dangerous toys, that they love and parents hate. Someone has to do it.

Why is the word "abbreviation" so long? And this ad is so short?
