Michael, Interesting post. Your choice of software and Montessori schooling is almost identical to mine. Our youngest became proficient with the mouse at 18 months, and he frequently entertains himself by sitting at the computer and popping up windows. (BTW: His nickname is "Scumbria" the Russian word for mackerel, which is how I chose my SI alias.) We turned off our television for good almost 5 years ago, and it has had a remarkable impact on the quality of our children's thought processes. Scumbria

OTOT: Michael and Fred and Scumbria: thanks much for all your thoughts. Whew, the only thing more difficult than being a father of a child in this dizzying age of internet time and intense competition is to be that kid growing up. I have often thought that it is much harder growing up today than even when we were growing up, being that we are swimming in so much information, and which is bombarded at the kids, and who are expected to rapidly and accurately assimilate all of it just to keep up with their peers. In becoming whizkids of technology, have the kids sacrificed anything? Appreciatively, Gary
