5 Actionable Strategies to Raise Smart Kids

by Carolyn 1 Comment

During the initial few months (and years) of life, your little one’s brain is more like an empty slate – it absorbs and accepts everything that’s written on it. This is exactly why it is extremely important to instill the right habits and engage your kid’s senses in such a way that it encourages more brain connections to form. We want to do our best to raise smart kids.

Do you wonder how to help your child think outside the box? Want to help them to not only be able to answer questions but think of additional questions to ask? As a parent, I am always looking for the best ways to them to become smarter and more intelligent.

How And When Do Babies Drop To One Nap?

by Carolyn 21 Comments

One of the questions in our playgroups was always, when do babies drop to one nap? Naptime is an important time for kids, but let’s be honest, it is also an awesome break for parents.

It gives our kid’s bodies the recharge that it needs to make it through the rest of the day. Once kids leave the baby stage of sleeping a majority of the day, they typically nap twice a day. The hardest part is when it comes time to transition from two naps to one.

Whether you have an only child or lots of time with just one child in the waiting room while the other child is doing their sport or lessons, having single player games for your child to play can help the wait go quickly. These are tested and loved by boy my kids and some friends of mine. Both of us have kids that have to wait for siblings at sports practices.
