Her brain is sharp, her heart is curious, and her body is active. I can give you examples of the “why” and “how was it before X” questions (that’s our thing now) that preoccupy her. Every moment for her is an opportunity to connect, develop, and play. Everything she does is a pure learning experience. Sometimes it feels like she has the inner compass that guides her learning journey, and my role is to observe and assist when needed. https://youngandwonderful.com/blog/learning-is-different-in-children-and-adults-should-we-care monthly 0.5 2022-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/08f774e1-fa43-422e-918a-8c9dd0165abd/learning_is_different_doodle.jpeg Blog - Learning is different in children and adults.

Therefore, fine distinctions between age transitions and the day-to-day experiences of children are often overlooked. Designing for Kids brings together all a designer needs to know about developmental stages, play patterns, age transitions, playtesting, safety standards, materials and the daily lives of kids, providing a primer on the differences in designing for kids versus designing for adults.

In addition, the book shows how children’s cognitive development is shaped by the physical and social environments that surround them throughout their formative years. Gold for those who seek to understand better child perspective and grasp precious nuances of different ages ad stages, and more importantly, peak into each child’s unique thinking. https://youngandwonderful.com/goodies-old/12-brain-mind-learning-principles-in-action monthly 0.5 2023-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/ba8fbf5c-3260-486b-8c58-c042b9295168/6a013486d7fe32970c013486d87daf970c.jpeg Goodies - old - 12 Brain/Mind Learning Principles in Action: Teach for the Development of Higher-Order Thinking and Executive Function - Higher-order skills such as critical thinking, planning, decision-making and persistence are the key to success for today’s students.

When children as young as three can take their own selfies, and customise their own avatars, how should we respond to the opportunity and threat of digital personalization for young children? You can watch a summary of the book on Youtube.

Children’s experiences with technology—their “screen time” and digital social relationships—have become an inescapable aspect of growing up. This book, for the first time, identifies the qualitative distinctions between different ages and stages of this engagement, and offers invaluable guidance for parents and teachers navigating the digital landscape, and for technology designers charting the way. Katie beautifully uses simple language, common sense and positive attitude to offer significant research, actionable insights and memorable guidelines—so important in the often-confusing landscape of research and media messages about kids and technology. https://youngandwonderful.com/goodies-old/user-research-with-kids monthly 0.5 2023-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/9c9f0710-4f61-4cc5-9144-adc56742d7cd/978-1-4842-7071-4.jpeg Goodies - old - User Research with Kids: How to Effectively Conduct Research with Participants Aged 3-16 - If you are a designer, producer, marketer, or researcher creating products for children, it is essential that you are aware of the key differences between children and adults when it comes to user journeys. While children might speak the same language as adult users, what they are actually communicating can be completely different. User Research with Kids explores these differences and more. User Research with Kids—written by Thomas Visby Snitker, Head of Research at LEGO—will teach you how to better work with children using key approaches, such as understanding what play is and holistically measuring experience from a child’s cognitive perspective. Apply research rigor and best practices for your next product launch, and expand your user understanding. https://youngandwonderful.com/goodies-old/digital-playgrounds monthly 0.5 2023-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/7280f6fd-e6c3-4223-9267-c6d8088817c6/image+%281%29.png Goodies - old - Digital Playgrounds: The Hidden Politics of Children's Online Play Spaces, Virtual Worlds, and Connected Games (Digital Futures) - Digital Playgrounds explores the key developments, trends, debates, and controversies that have shaped children’s commercial digital play spaces over the past two decades. It argues that children’s online playgrounds, virtual worlds, and connected games are much more than mere sources of fun and diversion – they serve as the sites of complex negotiations of power between children, parents, developers, politicians, and other actors with a stake in determining what, how, and where children’s play unfolds. A must-read for everyone involved in game design, play design, learning and everything-else-for-kids design. Sara's ability to bind together existing research and analytical practices from multiple study fields, presenting forces and gaps in research, industry production and policymaking will supercharge your ability to construct good child-oriented digital environments and technologies for children's play. https://youngandwonderful.com/goodies-old/designing-for-childrens-best monthly 0.5 2023-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/84da5488-5770-4141-b503-a14f2f9717bd/Artboard+1+copy+23%402x+%281%29.png Goodies - old - Designing for Children’s Best - All about designing what is best for children.

What are the ideal learning and development environments for each individual? Which programs and technologies should be pursued? Which decision-makers need to be involved to improve development and learning conditions? The Jacobs Foundation and its large network have been seeking answers to these questions for more than 25 years, aware that the resulting findings and insights must be disseminated, debated, and translated into action. BOLD is a wonderful blog that I couldn’t recommend enough.

I research, write, talk and consult about integrating children's rights and voices into design and creating products, experiences and environments that help children thrive. Parenting has dismantled most of what I've known about learning design. So, I’ve decided to take a newbie approach, start from the beginning, and reconstruct my understanding. I love connecting ideas and people, always seeking broader context, sparks of joy and intrinsic motivation. As I journey through the abundant data out there just waiting to be connected, I collect the breadcrumbs in different fields and translate them into useful knowledge for professionals in children's space and everyone interested in including children. This blog is like a shared (I love sharing!) notebook on learning, EdTech, and parenting. Search for content that is relevant to you. Proudly introducing the newest initiative, "Designing for Children's Best" podcast, co-produced and co-hosted with Leyla Nasib for D4CR (Designing for Children's Rights) non-profit association. It is a place to grow together professionally, actualizing the potential of designing with children in mind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/1626615683924-KNAK06B2XK3K802KSHW3/IMG_0486.jpg About https://youngandwonderful.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-03-31 https://youngandwonderful.com/workshopsandconsulting daily 0.75 2026-01-04 https://youngandwonderful.com/whatsyes daily 0.75 2025-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/5ce76cd3-9eb5-4c80-83eb-8d37ddea0bc5/20230918_132738.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/0a9516fd-08db-4640-8b87-0430c9c9020c/DSC03065.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/4f50524b-614d-446f-936e-633ccdd7b69d/IMG_1939+2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/15d9e0db-dd94-4760-bdc6-7fe66ce2d047/IMG_7715.jpg https://youngandwonderful.com/whatsyes-1 daily 0.75 2025-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/387d6e72-6479-4df6-b618-b77139a0a9db/Screen+Shot+2025-06-18+at+2.58.15+PM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/885fbf11-5d70-4272-bf97-3044a509c352/Screen+Shot+2025-06-19+at+3.16.09+PM.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/94a889fd-097e-4dde-96b8-0a3094a3569f/10_MARKETPLACE_SHOT_5_0862_02_QC.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/5ce76cd3-9eb5-4c80-83eb-8d37ddea0bc5/20230918_132738.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/0a9516fd-08db-4640-8b87-0430c9c9020c/DSC03065.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/4f50524b-614d-446f-936e-633ccdd7b69d/IMG_1939+2.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/15d9e0db-dd94-4760-bdc6-7fe66ce2d047/IMG_7715.jpg https://youngandwonderful.com/child-experience-bootcamp daily 0.75 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Child Experience Bootcamp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Child Experience Bootcamp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Child Experience Bootcamp https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/66d308d9-231a-4cab-8bc8-9ea006e1a326/Screen+Shot+2025-07-02+at+3.10.52+PM.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/885fbf11-5d70-4272-bf97-3044a509c352/Screen+Shot+2025-06-19+at+3.16.09+PM.png https://youngandwonderful.com/thank-you daily 0.75 2025-07-18 https://youngandwonderful.com/checkout-page daily 0.75 2025-11-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/dfb0ab43-dc65-4f1a-a9bf-327f5e83dc45/Screen+Shot+2025-07-02+at+3.10.52+PM.png https://youngandwonderful.com/child-experience-bootcamp-2 daily 0.75 2025-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/f493d8d8-ab40-48e2-883a-c3fd45725b3e/Screen+Shot+2025-07-02+at+3.10.52+PM.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/885fbf11-5d70-4272-bf97-3044a509c352/Screen+Shot+2025-06-19+at+3.16.09+PM.png https://youngandwonderful.com/goodies daily 0.75 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60f3f1c6f0fc03273c658552/51ec027f-b8f5-4307-ae8b-b7747abb365f/Goodies+Library+Post.png Goodies -
