I've been fascinated to learn how the brain's executive function challenges many kids in school and at home.

My daughter loved this so much, we read it aloud to the whole family. Then moved on to the next one.

A wonderful story with great illustrations and an environmental message that's not preachy or scary.

News: Halloween Costume Sale, Little Girl in the Kitchen, iKidNY, and Free Day at Guggenheim

Just some tid bits to share here from a sale on Halloween costumes from Amazon to a helpful phone app for navigating the city with a baby, a special event at the Guggenheim for families, and then there's little Girl in the Kitchen, which is just great for so many reasons. Check it out:

Watch it: Little Girl in the Kitchen is an 11 year old chef from Manhattan. Her videos on YouTube take you through the steps for recipes such as Sage Risotto, Blackberry Puffs, and "Grilled Peaches and a Citrus Drink." She may only be 11, but as she'll be the first to tell you, she has a very good palate.

Know it: Nanny Academy: Manhattan now has a nanny academy where chidcare professionals can learn everything from infant CPR to how to make tired parents feel comfortable after a hard day's work. [NBCNY]

Plan it: Traveling around New York City with a little on just got easier. iKidNY is a new iPhone app that tells you where the nearest playground, changing table, kid-friendly restaurant or subway with an elevator is. Developed by a NYC mom iKidNY takes the guesswork out of where to go when you need to go.

Do it: In celebration of it's 50th Anniversary, on Wednesday, October 21st is Free Day at the Guggenheim Museum and they will be offering free drop in classes for families from 1-5pm .

Buy it: Amazon is having a sale on Halloween costumes. Get $10 off select Halloween Costumes when you buy $50 of costumes from certain vendors including Disney Halloween Costumes.
