Parenting Checklist
Science
- Look for toys and games that encourage tinkering.
- Instead of throwing out old electronics, take the time to look up on how you and your child can fix it or improve it. Youtube is wonderful for all the DIY fixers.
Technology
- Encourage your kids to look at how science affects our every day lives.
- Check out the new app by Google, Grasshopper. Teaches kids the basics of coding.
Engineering
- Science is all around us. Encourage your kids to look at how science affects our every day lives.
- Check out Khan Academy for videos and breakdowns of the hardest science subjects.
Art
- Visit Art Museums. Many South Florida museums have free admission at least once a month.
- Give your children the materials needed to create. The dollar store is a great place to get supplies for your budding artists.
Math
- You don’t have to be a teacher to make math fun for your child. Check out We Are Teachers for simple ways to help kids be less intimidated by math.
- Look for opportunities to show children how math makes the world go round.
