A La Carte (11/11)

A La Carte Collection cover image

Misadventures in Babymaking – I found this episode of the Freakonomics podcast particularly interesting. It discusses the surprising beginnings of China’s ultra-destructive one-baby policy.

Protect Our Children – Thom Rainer: “Those who have read my articles or heard me speak probably know at least two things about me: I’m an avid college football fan, and I am devoted to my family.

Child Abuse – There is lots of sound parenting wisdom in this blog post from the 9Marks blog.

Remembrance Day – Here is an interesting video posted just on time for Remembrance Day (which is November 11 in Canada, the UK and other countries).

7 Billion – This infographic video does a great job of showing how our population has gotten to 7 billion (and where it’s going next).
