  • Anytime, Anyplace: Fun Family Learning Activities

    Parenting tips

    Parents of young children know it best; there really are only so many hours in a day and often it’s just not enough. From carpools to bath time, our schedules are jam-packed full of errands, chores, and to-do list items. There never seems to be enough time to just sit and enjoy our children’s childhood.

    In addition to our full schedules, many of us juggle feelings of guilt for not participating in our child’s early experiences and learning as much as we’d like to. But, with a little forethought and creativity, we can turn even the most mundane tasks into fun learning activities to share with our children.

    According to the blog Ageing Healthily, Happily & Youthfully, “the average four-year-old laughs 300 times a day and for the average 40-year-old it might be four times.” Why is the world of childhood such a funny place?

    Read on for our book recommendations.
