The latest journal of Pediatrics October 2016 (aappublications.org), has released new recommendations for technology use by children. The report "Media and Young Minds" relates how technology can be managed in the home (healthychildren.org/Media Use Plan), the number of suggested hours of screen time, and helpful hints for parental guidance. The report mentions some positive aspects and uses.
Halloween is not about the candy. It is about dressing up in costumes and pretending you are your favorite character. It is about using your imagination to scrounge around for all of the parts that make up a whole costume. Halloween night is almost anticlimactic to all of the preparation and anticipation. Children are often sad when they must put away the costumes, light sabers, and crowns. Why not keep all of Halloween fun around for a while?
Spiders are often over feared and misunderstood. When a spider web and huge "Charlotte" appear in the yard you might turn them into family STEAM activities at home (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math). Adults and children can observe a spider with a magnifying glass for several days while it adds to its web, collects insects, and encases them. Check on spiders working at night with your flashlights. How much progress do they make by morning?
