Shine a Light divx “When we see a child having a meltdown or a child standing dangerously in a shopping cart, we don’t know what to do,” Mrs. Ditillo said of bystanders. “We are all kind of helpless and freeze when we see others in this situation. What we want to do is enable people to assist these parents…”

Many “traditional” children’s songs have a similar sound when it comes to pitches and rhythms, but there is a great, wide world of music available to enjoy with your child!  Early childhood is an important time to expose your child to a wide range of musical sounds, including a variety of instruments, styles, tempi (speeds), and genres.  In addition to playing recordings geared toward children, also introduce your child to other kinds of music, such as jazz, blues, country, world music, and classical.

When selecting music to share with your child, variety is key.  Select some music with children singing, some with adults singing, and some with just instruments.   Pay attention to the kinds of music your child responds to, and incorporate these recordings into daily routines.  Also, remember to sing to and with your child, in addition to listening to recordings.

Before going to the grocery store, talk about your routine. This is a wonderful chance to teach the value of lists.

Kinsey movie download
• Why do we make a list?
• Discuss how easy it is to forget things, even for the all knowing parent.
• Encourage your child’s active participation, by soliciting suggestions about favorite foods to include on the list.
• Point out how organized the grocery store is and how this structures helps us to efficiently complete our shopping.

Teach the importance of checking off items on the list, to insure all items have been obtained.

• Deception rip

• If your child becomes impatient during the trip to the store, you can give them a special task and redirect their attention to your list.
• You could ask them to help you cross off items on a grocery list by naming items already in the cart. This helps them practice their developing language skills and also gather a sense of what is left on the grocery trip list.
• Non-readers can be asked to decorate the list with pictures corresponding to items on the list. This provides a nice opportunity to advance literacy.

download Futurama: Bender’s Game Sociodramas are not just confined to coping with the stressors of the doctor’s office.  Children often spontaneously act out scripts they commonly encounter and use pretend play to practice experiences like “going to the library,” or “grocery shopping.”

During trips to the library or grocery store, parents can talk to children about what is happening and what to expect, such as, the rules of the library: staying quiet and borrowing books.  A toddler playing library at home can then practice these same rules and develop, with a parent’s help, a detailed script of what happens at the library. Not only does talking about what is happening on these trips open dialogue between parents and children, it also helps children develop a sense of routine. Children that use pretend play to rehearse their experiences may be more prepared to handle rules and expectations for their daily activities. 

What kind of routines have you established with your child?

How much protection is too much?

A new study from Play England says that children are missing out on an essential part of childhood—risk.

• The Haunting in Connecticut

The study found that half of all children are not allowed to climb trees and one in six is not allowed to play tag or other chase games. Adrian Voce, director of Play England, says that kids “are not enjoying the opportunities to play outside that most people would have thought of as normal when they were growing up.” He also noted that nearly three times as many kids ended up in the hospital after falling out of bed as after falling out of trees…
