Harvard’s Lab for Developmental Studies investigates how children learn, use language and think. The lab is located near the Harvard Square T-station and they provide parking permits for drivers as well as $5 in travel compensation when you bring in your child.
The studies are designed as games in which children answer questions about pictures or videos. Additionally, parents may complete questionnaires about their children’s development. Parents are welcome to stay with their child for the whole session, and research assistants are available to supervise siblings. Each child receives a small toy as a “thank you.”
Interested? Call 617-496-7175 or email ha*******@***il.com for more information about how to get involved.

The Waban Library Center is launching a brand new monthly book club for elementary school kids! An adult should accompany each child, BOTH of whom have read the book and are ready to participate. The book will be aimed at about third grade reading level. However, elementary school students from any grade are welcome to join. (The child can either read the book on their own or have it read to them.) There is no commitment to attend every month, just come when your schedule allows.
The first meeting will be Monday, December 8th from 6:30-7:30 pm. The discussion will be about the book The Lemonade War by Jacqueline Davies. At the end of the meeting the group who is there will choose the next book.
Refreshments will be served. Looking forward to seeing you there!
