Child Development and Care

Department Overview:

We are a family of two dads and two children: an 11-year-old in sixth grade, and a 6-year-old first grader. Both parents work at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Our 11-year-old (who is sitting beside me as I write this) describes themself as "aggressive" (they say with a smile), "playful," "smart," and "curious," and is an amazing artist and musician. Their 6-year-old brother is inquisitive, loves to play foursquare and basketball, and enjoys art and crafting with yarn. Both children are into music and setting up dance parties, and they enjoy playing together... until they don't. They closely watch one another's television consumption to ensure parity, and we hear about imbalances (or any other signs of unfairness) as soon as they occur!
