We gr
adually lose our
ability to play if we do not
engage life with the same
wonder we had as a child.
Regain that insight as you
share in your child’s
de
light and
amazement. This will
significantly enhance your ability
to engage your child in their
disco
veries and de
velopment.

When you ar
e having fun
your mind and body ar
e at
their most r
eceptive.
In this state of mind your
child wants to engage, lo
ves to
learn, wants to be involved and
most of all wants to do it again
and again and again.
