February’s challenge: Take play “on the road.”
Ideas:
Choose a place outside of your home. Go to the park, the library, the children’s museum, a friend’s house and make an intentional choice to step out of your comfort zone and play together. Don’t think about how you look to other adults — concentrate on your kids and make a NEW memory.
