Limit TV viewing to no more than two hours a night. Help children make other choices for their free time activities (e.g., reading, writing, playing, talking). |
Visit the local public library with your child. Find a quiet corner where you and your child can look at the books your child chooses. March is a great month to look at books that help your child learn about colors, numbers, or letters. |
|
Have fun reading or telling stories with you child. Try "Story Time" just before bedtime. Let your child pick the books he or she wants to read. It will help your child settle down for sleep. |
|
Follow the motions with your child.
Open, shut them,
Have your child stand in a safe place. Ask him or her to open and close their eyes, then mouth, then hands. Have your child show you how he or she can open and close arms. Now repeat the rhyme. |

Materials:
Poke a small hole in the bottom of each cup and fill cups with soil. Plant two bean seeds in each cup. Water the soil and put the cups in a sunlit place. Check every couple of days and water if the soil is dry. Every few days, check to see how the seeds are growing. Measure the sprouts and keep a record of their size on the lid of the egg carton. |
