Not only are they entertaining and informative, but also easily accessible from a variety of sources. The podcast that I listen to the most, Jaffe Juice, is available from three separate sources that I use on a regular basis. I can go to the website, download from Itunes, or download from Facebook. I love the convenience. I work on behalf of a children's enrichment center called New York Kids Club in Manhattan and Brooklyn Heights and thought I would throw out the suggestion to look into a local gym or children's center. Not only do these places provide equipment and facilities for your child to enjoy, many place have activities that vary from winter to summer. It really does beat the winter blues and get them into a new atmosphere. Being housebound all winter is not fun. All facilities are not alike, but NYKC provides interesting classes like kickboxing and cooking that peak the interest of children and parents. And I don't know any kid that does not do a double take at fun kids equipment like ropes to climb or balls to roll around in. Just a suggestion.
