by Cheryl Villareal on Dec 2nd, 2014
Through our ever evolving technology, knowledge is now at every child’s fingertips. Though some would still disagree on introducing gadgets to young children, I have to admit that it has its pros and cons. Just like all things in life, proper moderation and rules in using gadgets goes a long way. Recently, I learned about a new app called FarFaria. Basically, it’s an app with a whole library of children’s books. Through this app, childre...Read More » Tags Share Comments (0 )

There are also a few who don't really know their names yet, such that calling them by name would not get their attention. You'd have to tap them to ...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1 )
