The “concentrate on one subject” part is interesting. I reminds me of &quot;get good enough in one skill to see the meta game&quot; [0]:<p>&gt; There seems to be something in getting good at a skill tree that helps in latter life. I’d like to think it is a function of exposure: once you see the competitive meta at the top of one skill tree, you begin looking for it everywhere else.<p>So the theory is something like: If you achieve mastery in one skill, it helps learning other skills because you know better what to aim for.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;commoncog.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;to-get-good-go-after-the-metagame&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;commoncog.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;to-get-good-go-after-the-metagame...</a>

So along these lines:<p>I have a 14 month old son, and am really interested in just generally understanding the cognitive development of kids and how they learn about the world over time.<p>Are there any good books on the subject?

Of course if you select a kid’s profession at 3 or 4 they’ll be good at it. But doesn’t that stifle them? What if they should’ve been something else?

&gt; I was pretty upset because, although he had a book called Raise A Genius, it was hard to find and only available in Hungarian and Esperanto.<p>Not that it matters but I have this book in French. &#x27;Le phénomène Polgar, ou l&#x27;art de former des génies&#x27;. ISBN 2-87148-024-9.

Is there a Hacker News about parenting? I am looking for a community with similar social norms to HN, but parenting-related content.

Don&#x27;t raise kids that are going to be bored at school.

I enjoy some of Alexander&#x27;s writing but I really hope he would consider making a proper mobile view of his website.<p>At least the reader view in Firefox fixes it.
