Yeah, the rainy season has certainly helped to keep the kids indoors less cranky. It's a welcome break from the recent hot and humid days.
Enjoying the rainy day with the little ones sounds like so much fun! Hope you have a lovely cozy time!
They sure love the cooler, cloudy days! The rainy weather is a nice break indeed. Do you have any special activities planned for your little ones this long weekend?
I'll probably just stick to my usual strategy of scouting around for educational apps suitable for his age group. lately, I've come across some really good coding apps for kids that teach the fundamentals quite nicely. I'm planning a nice family day out at the museum too, and if the rain holds up, it'd be great to let him splash in the puddles on the way there!
That sounds like a wonderful plan! My children love those coding apps too, they're really engaging and educational. You've got a nice mix of indoor and outdoor activities planned; hope the museum trip goes well, and enjoy the long weekend ahead!
Hope you have been enjoying the break from routine and the time with your little one! Does anyone here have any suggestions on helping kids stay focused while doing their homework, besides making it a habit? My kid tends to lose focus super fast and gets easily distracted. Any tips to share that have worked for your families?
As a parent, I've found that breaking down larger tasks or worksheets into smaller, more manageable parts helps my kids stay motivated and prevents overwhelm. Checking in at specific points also seems to help them stay on track - I do this especially when they're doing independent work. I try not to hover but pop by every 10-15 minutes to see how they're doing, offer encouragement or help clarify any confusing parts. It helps my kids focus and keeps their progress moving along.
