Most parents receive parenting information from informal sources. Those sources may include advice from family members or friends, social media influences or the internet or “popular” print sources (as opposed to academic sources).

In researching six sources, three web based and three popular print sources, I was intrigued by what I had found. At www.parents.com there was an article titled “10 Books to Read by Kindergarten”.

Maps can generally be described as representation of the real world through graphics. However, this representation is usually considered an abstraction of the real world phenomenon (Chorley and Peter, 48).

Maps can be used to represent various issues for instance: The distribution of human population, temperatures and other aspects of the environment.
