Brain Building Moments

While in the store, hold up different pairs of things and ask your child how they’re the same or different. You can model this kind of thinking and say, “This pepper is green and this pepper is red, but they’re the same vegetable!” Encourage them to describe what they see.

BRAINY BACKGROUND

Exploring what’s the same and what’s different helps your child learn the skill of making connections—grouping things in different ways. They’re also using communication skills as they explain their thinking.

Faith Building Moments

 Go on a nature walk with your child, noticing the variety of flowers and birds that you see. As you do, talk with your child that God made each thing you see and takes care of it all by giving it sunshine and rain. He cares even more for each of us. "Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, ... how much more will he clothe you... “
