My favorite quote!



This quote not only applies to children but to adults as well.  Every day, I encourage children to cheer each other on, because I work in a field where children struggle with learning. When they struggle, they shut down.  What is going to help someone grow or try their best?  Encouragement 
When have you been afraid to do something but someone said, "You would be great at that!"  That one sentence could change your life forever.   All of us feel down at times and need a little boost.  Today, I encourage you to cheer someone on!  Smile at someone!  Open a door for someone!  Do something to make someone grow!

Summer break is near!  We have a long break this year....three whole months! By August, you may want to pull your hair out but remember to keep calm and enjoy the time with your children.  Here are some activities you can do to help keep them busy.
1. Play board games (Hed Bandz, Apples to Apples, Guess Who and Rory's Story Cubes are a few of my favorites)
2.  Language apps (Toon Tastic, Super Duper Story Maker, Mad Libs, Classify It, Talking Tom, Make a Scene are a few of my favorites)
3.  Day at the zoo, metroparks, museum, beaches, nature centers, parades and festivals.  Here is a link to free activities in Cleveland and their dates.  
4.  Make a craft.  Here is a link for 50 craft ideas.  

Most of all, enjoy every moment with your child.  They grow up way too fast.  :(

If this doesn't melt your heart, I don't know what will.

Cherish each moment with your child.  Hug them 5 times a day because before you know it, they will be off to college.
