Traveling
Are we there yet? Turn that trip or errand into a simple, fun learning game that helps your child make sense of the world around him.
In the car: Use driving time to enhance your child’s natural curiosity. Find ways to interact and connect with your child.
On the bus or subway: Riding public transit exposes your child to different people and new things. Use this time to heighten your child’s sense of adventure.
On a walk: Taking your child on a walk is not only good exercise, but also allows them to experience nature and learn about the outdoors.
