1. Maximize love,<\/strong><\/p>\n

Manage stress<\/strong><\/td>\n

Mother’s Day is an occasion which is celebrated in various parts of the world to express respect, honor, and love towards mothers. The day is an event to honor the contribution of mothers, acknowledge the efforts of maternal bonds and the role of mothers in our society.<\/p>\n

Around mothers\u2019 day I like to think of the memories we built with my Mom and Grandma. My mom shared her passion of gardening with me, and my grandma shared her passion of baking. We were doing things side by side just like this Grandma shared her talent with her grandchild and daughter.<\/a><\/p>\n

What are some things you learned from your Mother or Grandmother?<\/p>\n

What are some talents or passions you like to share with your children?<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

2. Talk, sing and point<\/strong><\/td>\nListen to some familier and some new Mothers’ Day songs:<\/p>\n

Are you my Mother? by P. D. Eastman<\/a> is another story that we like to read at Strongstart and created a playscape for it with a tree, bird, the animals and the transportation vehicles. Do you have some of these items at home to play out and retell the story?<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

4.\u00a0 Explore through movement and play<\/strong><\/td>\nHere is a link for the children to create their own music<\/a> as a mothers\u2019 day gift. You can listen and dance to it together.<\/p>\n

Song Maker is pretty easy to figure out, even for kids. The sequencer has two parts: one for melody, and a bar at the bottom for rhythm. For each one, you can select different musical options, and then draw your notes using your mouse or finger. Have fun!<\/p>\n
