Did you know that One of the most effective ways to get your child to engage with a toy or learning experience is to have it preset for them to explore? By taking a few minutes to set up toys or activities as if it was being played with each night before bed or during a time during the day like nap or rest time, your kids will be surprised, thrilled, engaged, and may interact with their toys as if they’ve never seen them before.
It might seem strange but as a long time educator I’ve found that often kids that have just a little help getting started end up being more creative and spend more time engaging their imagination
On their own.
I can’t even tell you how much joy this brings my kids and has brought them through different learning stages as they’ve grown. It’s magical and engaging. It’s even somewhat therapeutic for me as I take time to unlock my inner child and engage in play in ways we don’t usually as adults. I also love that it’s a something my kids look forward to and ask for - I hope it’s something they look back on and remember as they grow.
I’m telling you - this hack could buy you a few more minutes of sleep, time to enjoy your coffee in peace, some time to tackle something on your to do list or just a little me time to get ready for the day. Give it a try!
