Let’s Focus

Sometimes it’s all about the simplest things. Whenever we’re struggling, it’s great to go back to basics. So in an effort to keep it super simple, here are some easy ideas that kids love. Most of all, they will appreciate spending a little time together 💙

Invite your child to play Opposites with you. When you clap once, they should clap twice; when you clap two times, they should only clap once. As they get to know the rules, add different actions like stomping your feet or waving. Take turns suggesting actions.

Your child is learning to think flexibly as the rules change. They must use their memory to recall the rules, focus on what is happening by tuning out distractions, and use self-control to resist the temptation to copy you—all important learning skills.
