The San Antonio Zoo’s new magnificent mini-zoo is the perfect place for children under five to “Grow with Nature.”  Tiny explorers can dig, climb, get wet and dirty as they uncover and discover nature’s wonders at fun-filled Kronkosky’s Tiny Tot Nature Spot. 

No two visits will be the same; each day is filled with a wide variety of activities: watch the lady bug release, dig up carrots to feed the guinea pigs, play on the riverbank or uncover worms. Through early immersion into nature, the Zoo encourages children to develop an understanding and an appreciation for nature. 

The exhibit features a sloth, coati, squirrel monkeys, prairie dogs, flamingos, giant tortoises, frogs, fish and insects in interactive habitats.  Young children can touch animals, dress-up like zoo keepers, create a fish print, or just wander about in wonder.

People are aware that ADD is common in kids, but few realize that the disorder exists in adults as well.  Until the 1970s it was believed that that the condition existed only in children, and that they outgrew it in adolescence.  It is now known that adults can have ADD as well, but the symptoms, such as restlessness often go unrecognized.

Symptoms commonly associated with adult ADD can also include: Lack of focus, persistent pencil tapping or foot tapping, disorganization, difficulty finishing projects, and losing things.  If this sounds like you or someone you know, take this quiz to see if you might be affected by Adult ADD.
