I'm a web developer and former middle school teacher interested in learning python and hopefully contributing to P2PU.
Location: Durham, North Carolina
Standard Set Answer:
I have an almost 11-month-old and would love the opportunity to connect with other parents interested in exploring actual research into how kids develop. So often, I find myself searching for answers online and wondering whether what people advise actually has any basis other than from that one person's experiences. This has been true when we tried to figure out introducing solid foods, getting our baby to sleep, and pretty much everything else.

Geek who loves learning (aren't we all?)

Standard Set Answer:
I've got 3 kids of my own ('04, '05, '07) and enjoy thinking, reading and talking about various strategies and ideas to help them as they grow and learn.
I don't know that I'd have time to help organise, but hope to be able to engage in discussions to some degree. To be honest, I don't think I'd manage even 30mins per day - I'd try to participate every few days.
