There’s no way around it: There are always chores to do and errands to run.
Those responsibilities don’t have to be a drag on an otherwise lovely day. What if, instead, they became a way to engage with kids and have some playful time together?
Kids are hard-wired to play. But even for children, the free and imaginative play that research shows is best for their development doesn’t always come easily. Sometimes their energy levels are low, daily frustrations are too high or they just can’t seem to find the inspiration to create their own fun. That’s when the dreaded “I’m bored” comes out.
Study after study shows that engaging with technology alongside your child helps them get the most out of it.
While we can’t keep kids from feeling stressed, we can play a crucial role in helping kids feel safe and secure during stressful times.
