Helping Mum or Dad

Small children love to help especially if they are praised for helping.
One way to encourage them to help and eat better is to engage them in food preparation. This can be use to introduce foods to a fussy eater.
It will expose the child to the food several times before offering the food
on the plate. It will also develop their fine motor skills.

Hide and Seek

Hide and Seek is a great game for developing auditory sense
as well as agility.When playing the game with younger children
we need to play it slightly differently in order to increase the child’s sensory awareness and in particular their auditory senses.

How do I feel

Playing games with your children can help them to feel good
about themselves. This game helps children to explore
their emotions and become aware of them. It is a good game
to play when all the family members are present and the baby
can also be involved.
