TIPS FOR PARENTS and GUARDIANS

1. Take it one step at a time: You don't have to do everything; pick one or two activities that add learning and structure to your day and meet the interests of your children.

2. Tap into the resources you have: Do you have a kitchen? Back yard? Tools? Internet access? Look for activities that you can do with the assets you already have at home.

3. Strive for balanced routines: Plan time in your day for learning, exercise, creativity, and free choice.
