I’ve been busy doing household chores lately since the household helper is on vacation. My hubby and I divide the household chores. My hubby is in charge of going to the market and cooking while I wash the dishes and do the cleaning.
I was washing the dishes earlier when my 4-yr old son said, “Mommy, just tell me if you need me.” I immediately turned off the faucet and gave him a kiss. I told him how much I appreciate those words.
Let your child show his creativity through arts and crafts. Let your child draw freely on blank pieces of paper. Give your child paper, pencil, eraser and drawing materials (make sure they are non-toxic) such as crayons, colored pencils and colored pens. Closely supervise children 3 years old and below.
I love watching my son draw different kinds of pictures. He often loves drawing things he sees on TV. When he watched a cartoon program with a dragon, he was inspired to draw his own dragon. Below is Yohan’s drawing of a dragon.
Take time to celebrate small and big developmental milestones in your child’s life. Celebration can simply mean an action showing happiness or appreciation of a child’s accomplishments. It can be a form of verbal praise, a kiss, an embrace or a simple token of appreciation. Be careful of giving a child too many material rewards. Instead, try to focus more on verbal and physical actions.
