There we go. Book 1.
Book 2.
Enjoy. If those two flew over your head, try this:
You're welcome.
Well, we work on a lot of problem solving and puzzle books. It started out with things to prepare for the NNAT and OLSAT standardized tests that they give to place kids into kindergarten in NYC but he really enjoyed it. So now that's over I recently bought the 3 lollipop logic books that we work on together:

I was recently thinking about how lucky I was that my parents bought us a computer in 1986. Tandy 1000 EX with dual floppy drives. It cost something like $3,000, which was a fucking lot of money back then. Like 1/30th of a house or something. They weren't computer people, but they had this sense that it would be important for us in the future, and that single action has defined my entire life trajectory. Sure I played video games, but then I got into programming, I ran a Renegade BBS, I was one of the first people in my town to dial up to a non-AOL ISP and get on the internet, I studied Computer Science, and now I make 3 times as much as my dad when when he retired after 35 years, even though he basically ran a city and 500 people worked for him.
So.... what is it that I can get my kids interested in at a young age that will give them that same leg up, now that computers and technology are basically something everyone uses from birth? I've asked this of a lot of people and there are only two career paths that people think will be specialized, high paying, and define the future. Genetic programming and robotics.
Genetic programming is obviously too advanced for a 4 year old but robots aren't. Everything might be automated in the future, but they'll still need people who can design and build robots. So we've been playing with Cubetto, which is cool because it teaches kids both robots and programming and even little kids can do it, check it out.

It's very cute and basically fool proof. Once they get older and more sophisticated we can look at the more complex lego robots and things like that.
Beyond that, my 4 year old takes violin lessons on saturdays and i sit with him to practice 3 or 4 times during the week. I try to keep it fun and I get my flugelhorn out and we do the exercises together so he starts to learn that it's not just individual notes being played but phrasing, articulation, and stuff like that. Then the 2 year old runs in and wants to play the violin afterwards.
If this makes it easier for you? This is like limbo. How low can I get.
