Reading to your children has numerous benefits for your child's health, well-being, cognitive development, language skills, and academic success! We encourage you to read this article for info on all the ways reading can strengthen your bond with your kids and how it helps them grow.
"Even the youngest children benefit from hearing their caregivers read to them. A 2013 study showed that babies who are read to and talked to score higher in language skills and cognitive development, like problem solving.
Research from 2018 suggests that this link extends throughout childhood into the teen years. In fact, researchers say that verbal interactions (reading, talking, etc.) between parents and young kids may promote higher language and IQ scores all the way up to age 14."

As a parent or caregiver, you likely have times when you need to run on an errand and bring your kids with you. And you know it can definitely be challenging! Here are 5 tips on how to make the experience more fun for your child and less stressful for you.
"Let’s be honest, most adults aren’t at their best when they’re hungry or tired, and the same is true for children! It’s best to work errands around your child’s eating and sleep schedule, not the other way around. Make sure kids have had their regular meal or a snack before heading out on errands with you."

Does your child have trouble focusing and paying attention? Talking to your child and knowing what to say to avoid making them feel bad can help them develop strategies to overcome this challenge. Here are some helpful tips!
"Explain that lots of people have a hard time with focus. If you know why your child has trouble focusing, be open about it. For instance, if your child has been diagnosed with ADHD, use that term and explain what it means."
