Thursday, January 7th, 2010Today’s Activity:
Set aside some time today to spend alone with each child. Plan for at least three minutes in a quiet room with each child to talk about their day or just read them their favorite story.
Note:
If time is an issue set a timer. A timer will also help the child (or children) who are waiting for their turn to know that they will also get time with mommy as soon as the timer beeps.
Evaluate:
This was a pretty quick yet enjoyable activity. I learned that librarian at Max’s school is replacing Coke with water for her New Years Resolution. During my one on one time with Elese she told me that she wants to be a doctor when she grows up. Did you learn anything new about your kids? Here are a few ideas of things you can ask them:
Did you go to recess today? Did you get along with all of your friends today? What was your favorite part of the day? Which toys did you play with the most today? What do you want to be when you grow up? Do you like going to the library or the computer lab more?
