Are you looking for simple strategies to help boost your child’s cognitive and motor development?

Here are five easy ways to get started:

1. Encourage physical activity: Spend time outdoors!  Take your child to the park, set up sandpits for them to play and create,  set up and obstacle course for them to conquer!

Inside the house: have them help with chores... yes chores!  Chore routines help with problem solving, strength, coordination, sequencing, and more!

2. Play interactive games: Brain teasers, puzzles, and board games all help promote problem-solving and reasoning skills.

3. Limit screen time: Too much time spent in front of a tablet or phone can impede important social and motor development.

4. Explore the environment: Visiting museums, taking nature walks, and exploring the outdoors helps stimulate your child’s curiosity.

5. Learn through play: Tools such as crafts, finger paints, and blocks encourage creative thinking and motor skills.

These strategies can help your child grow and reach their full potential. Give them a try!
