So this is cool from our sponsor DreamBox Learning: A free downloadable Math Growth Chart that shows what skills your child should have from ages 4-8, and things you can do to encourage those skills at home. Print one out for yourself, and one for a friend. (Then tell your friend to click through here to get the discount on a DreamBox Learning subscription.)

Who is Moxie?
- Not an expert, just a mom. I help people troubleshoot their parenting problems.
This is my philosophy.
Search my archives on the upper left side of the screen. If I haven't addressed your topic yet, send me an email. I get 12-15 questions a day, so yours may not go up on the site, and since I have other jobs I may not answer privately, either. Someday...
New questions post M-F at 6 am (EST), usually, with a book review up on Friday night.

Blah blah blah
- I'm not a doctor of any sort, or a psychologist, or a development expert, or any kind of expert at all. I'm just a mom of two kids. Nothing I say here should be construed as medical or developmental advice. Read what I say, then make your own decisions. I am not responsible for your actions. Also, I don't want to buy, sell, or process anything as a career, buy anything sold or processed, and cetera.

As a former math teacher, I've got to say that those age/ability correlations are all off by at least a year. Shift it all down a year (or two) and you've got it just about right.
