Hands On As We Grow

You are amazing.

Published 8 months ago • 2 min read

Hey Reader!

I think it's fun to give a shout out to people that deserve it:

...to some amazing women and men who do amazing things every day.

...to YOU.

That's right: YOU ARE AMAZING.

You don't get enough credit for all the things you do. Whether you get to "all the things" on your list or not.

Do you know how I know that you're amazing?

I'll give you three reasons.

  1. You subscribe to a blog such as Hands On As We Grow® (and probably many others) that help you be a better parent by taking an active role in your child's growth.
  2. You care an awful lot about your kids. (I know this because of #1.) I know this sounds like a duh, of course statement, but a lot of kids out there don't have a parent who cares like you do. You go above and beyond by creating special childhood moments, creating a bond; and if you're not quite there to doing that yet, you're on your way and trying. THAT is amazing.
  3. You are a mom. You are a dad. You are a grandparent. Period.

That's all - I just want to give you some props to start your new year off right and thank you... for being you. Keep it up!

Worksheets aren’t the only way to learn—here are simple, hands-on activities to help preschoolers build writing and fine motor skills.

Hi Reader!Did you know that kids can be super smart and creative when they figure things out on their own, without being told exactly what to do? It's true! I read an article a long time ago that has stuck with me over the years. It talked about two studies on why preschool shouldn't be like regular school. You can read more about it here if you want.

One mom discovered the joy of letting go—and found that simple letter activities (like “Disappearing Letters”) made learning fun again.

Reader-Planning enough activities to keep an active preschooler (or toddler) busy -- can get daunting and overwhelming to keep up... ... and can end up being not-so-much-fun anymore... “It wasn’t that fun because I was trying to control it too much.” Do you ever feel that way? That's actually a quote from Liz R, a member of The Activity Room -- ROOM has allowed her to let go of that control a little bit and let the activity go where it naturally needs to go. I felt like I was all over the...
