I hope everyone traveling over break has a safe and enjoyable vacation. BUT some of you may be having a "staycation" and wondering what you are going to do with your children for a week at home. The best thing you can do is maintain a schedule with your children. Too much down time can cause your child to sit in front of the TV or play with his/her tablet all day.
This is an example of a schedule.
1. breakfast- Make breakfast together!
2. TV or tablet time- maybe 30 min to 1 hour
3. game time- play a fun game (monopoly, hide and seek, hide some balloons around your home and see if your child can find them all, battleship, etc)
4. creative time - coloring, drawing, painting, playdough
5. nap and lunch (I wish my child still took a nap.)
6. TV or tablet time- maybe 30 min to 1 hour
7. outside time (basketball, hopscotch, tag, scavenger hunt, plant a garden, go for a walk, etc)
8. dinner time (have your child help you with dinner)
