Work Time
Turn off those screens and play with some toys, color, paintā¦ anything you can think of!
Planning Time (5 minutes): Build your childās ability to organize their time by having them make a āplanā with you about what they would like to play with. Children do this everyday with us at school. It helps children learn to organize their thoughts. Adults make plans all the time to organize their thoughts (shopping lists are made before going to the grocery store, to do lists are made to help plan your day etc..).
Work Time (45-60 minutes): During work time kids play WITHOUT ELECTRONICS. Kids can use toys to pretend play, build, and create.
Clean Up (about 15 minutes): Kids clean up the mess they have made while playing.
Recall Time (5 minutes): Build your childās memory of events by having your child tell you what they did while they played (ask ātell me how you did thatā or āwhat did you do next?ā)
