Good Morning!

v  So, it’s too dark to play outside after dinner but your kiddo’s energy is high and bedtime isn’t for another hour, what do you do? Here’s a simple game called, Night-time Safari, that is perfect for this moment. All you need are toy animals (stuffies work well) and a flashlight. Parents hide the stuffies in the living room, turn off the lights and have your little one find all the animals using the flashlight! For more information about the safari, check out it out here!

v  Self-care is such an important routine to maintain. Pausing for a moment to nourish yourself not only benefits you but also the people around you. There are so many different ways to nourish yourself and what feels nourishing to me may not feel nourishing to you – it’s personal. Check out this Virtual Calming Room put out by Sacramento School District for some great self-care ideas. From puzzles, colouring activities, yoga, guided meditations and even live animal cameras – there’s something in this room for everyone to find a moment of calm to relax in.

v  If you are interested in a free one-on-one consultation about your child’s development, behavior, parenting tips, tricks and education please email or call me, Anita, to set up either a virtual appointment or a socially distanced visit in the community.
