This episode, I&#8217;ve got a great interview with David Gorcey and Nick Veneris from  Nerdy with Children, a cool website where you can find all kinds of great nerdy/geeky items for your kids and family, and a great forum for parents. They spend 10+ hours a day finding the cool stuff on the web just for us nerdy parents, so we can spend more time with our kids!
Also, check out the great post here by our contributor Laith Preston about the Comet Pan-STARRS, a very cool astronomical event happening RIGHT NOW (March 11-13)! You can take your kids outside and view this comet with the naked eye, so check out how!

We also discuss vaccinations and why they&#8217;re important. We&#8217;re reviewing this subject in light of this article from Ben Goldacre about antivax parents changing their opinions after their child contracts a deadly but preventable disease. We hope this child has a speedy and major recovery!

		<itunes:summary>I’ve been recommending a great geeky gift for your kids for the first 12 days of Christmas, and since I started a day early, this is your baker&#8217;s dozen bonus!And for this last entry in our gift guide, I go a little outside the box and discuss ways that you can give your child the gift of being able to express themselves.
Help your child by finding the way that they want to express themselves, be it art, music, writing, movie-making or podcasting! Give them the simple tools and let them be creative! Be it crayons and paper or Garageband and a microphone, help your child find out how they want to express themselves, and give them the outlet for that creativity!

		<itunes:summary>I’m recommending a great geeky gift for your kids for the first 12 days of Christmas, and since I started a day early, it’ll actually be a baker’s dozen of 13! (If you have recommendations, please send them to me at howtogrowyourgeek@gmail.com or @susiethegeek on Twitter!)
Today&#8217;s entry is a great item to get for you to use with your child &#8211; kids&#8217; cookbooks! Cooking is fun and educational, and teaching your children how to use recipes and make basic dishes is a good way to spend time together! I&#8217;m listing Emeril Lagasse&#8217;s There&#8217;s a Chef in My Soup and Pretend Soup and Other Real Recipes by Mollie Katzen and Anne Henderson here, but there are lots more great kids&#8217; cookbooks out there. Here are two lists of recommendations &#8211; one from Grandparents.com and one from About.com for you to check out as well!
Please email me with your own comments at howtogrowyourgeek-at-gmail-dot-com, or call my voicemail number at (678) 235-GROW (4769) and leave your thoughts. And last but not least, you can follow me on Twitter at @SusietheGeek or the show at @HowToGrowGeek, on Goodreads as SusieMurph, and on Google+ as +SusieMurph!

Today&#8217;s entry is one of our favorite card games to play as a family &#8211; Munchkin! This silly and irreverent card game is great for introducing kids and adults to the world of geeky games, and is easy to learn and travel with.This game is available at Target and your friendly local gaming stores or online (Here&#8217;s the website where you can see all of the expansions and accessories available).
Check out Wil and the gang on Table Top playing with Munchkin creator and game guru Steve Jackson below!

Gary called in with the great recommendation of Bug Catchers! These are great little cages that you can catch and observe bugs in, and I&#8217;m adding a bug vacuum to the list as well &#8211; these make learning about insects and small animals fun and easy! Here&#8217;s a great link to Squidoo describing the benefits of bug catching!

 Today&#8217;s idea was inspired by a discussion author Cory Doctorow had on Twitter about what to get his 6 yr old nephew who&#8217;s a big Star Wars fan. He settled on this Star Wars Complete Cross-Section book, which inspired me to want to introduce you all to the world of gorgeous books out there for the ultimate Star Wars fans on any age! Just search for Star Wars books anywhere you&#8217;d shop for books or geeky goodness, and revel in the tons of gorgeous books available!

Today, Gary calls in with a great suggestion for kids that brings out creativity and independence &#8211; flashlights. These humble tools become lightsabers, magic wands and sonic screwdrivers in the hands of kids, and can help with fear of the dark and bad weather anxiety, plus a little reading under the covers is totally ok! They come in all price ranges, and can be found almost anywhere &#8211; plus they&#8217;re handy for adults too!
