Did your grandma always give you a dollar before you left her house? Were Friday nights always movie night? Whatever you did, it obviously had an effect. The ritual made you feel a part of your family and endeared you to them. As a parent, make sure to give your children the same experience by creating rituals with them.
How can parents get their preschooler to open up when the preschooler seems so uninterested in talking? Here are some things to keep in mind and to try.
Our Creatively Shine Curriculum™ theme this month is “Worldly Weather”. This at-home activity will be sure to bring the rain with your homemade rain sticks. Rain sticks are fun instruments that when you turn them upside down and it will sound like rain!
The statement “you should read to your child” isn’t one many people would contradict. There are lots of obvious reasons that reading to children is a good idea. (We’ve already talked about the magical benefits of reading.) The incredible thing about reading, though, is it can have effects on kids that seem truly magical.
With this month’s curriculum theme “Heart Healthy Lifestyle”, Little Sunshine’s wanted to share a great recipe for frozen yogurt popsicles! This activity is also a great way for your child to use their fine motor skills to put everything together to make these delicious smooth pops.
This at-home activity is great on those days off of work and school. This at-home activity is all about Giving Back! Everyone in the family will enjoy a special thank you note.
