A Recipe for Great Success

                   

    What better way to spend some of the cold days of winter with our kids than to cook something up in the kitchen.  Baking or cooking something together not only provides a great bonding experience and teaches a very valuable life skill but helps kids develop so many other skills without too much effort.  So sit down with your child, pick a recipe together, start cooking and watch your child start learning the following skills.

Family Game Night!

Bring out the board games! Gather the family! Let’s play! Speech and language can be incorporated into almost any game you have on your shelves. Games can enhance a number of areas including articulation, vocabulary, grammar, comprehension and social skills. And the best part? Everyone is having so much fun PLAYING that they don’t even realize they are LEARNING core everyday skills at the same time!

Most children today have been using technology almost since birth and although all youngsters will need to have a technological mind, we cannot sacrifice communication and social skills .

  Communication skills are still necessary and often times kids who spend an inordinate amount of time on technology suffer in their ability to effectively have conversations with others.
