The key to providing enriching experiences for your child at home is to focus on activities that are enjoyable to your child and that inspire their curiosity.

Change activities when your child’s interest wanes

Have children generate their own “I wonder” questions after the activity to increase their curiosity for future investigations

Practice asking your child questions about the activity rather then telling them answers

Always look for ways to bring joy and laughter to the activity

"You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives."   ~Clay P. Bedford
