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 💙

Take turns talking about what is for dinner tonight. Invite your child to help you “write” or draw each food on a paper titled “Our Menu.” Explain, “A menu tells people what they could eat.” Later point out the name of each food as you serve it.
