Featured Response 💬
“My kids are too young for homework but I sit down with my oldest and a new book I got him that has a marker and he can learn to write his letters. My youngest we focus on sensory type activities but both already know how to clean toys up and my oldest helps with "wiping" things off and putting his dishes in the sink.”
That's awesome, Gracie! You're already setting such a great foundation for learning and responsibility—kudos to you and your little ones! - Danielle 😊
