Your child will learn to be able to understand, and know how to react and respond to the feeling that they need to empty their bladder or bowel. Children learn so much through observing and copying, and potty training is no different. This guide provides tips on how to make potty training as smooth as possible for you and your child."
Free Pre-Reading Activity Printable
FREE printable pre-reading activity that
helps to prepare children for learning sight words when they are older.
Cut out the fish and the fish bowls and then ask your child
to find the matching fish bowls. For younger children, matching the “shape fish”
to their bowls teaches the concepts of “same” or “different”. Then slowly but surely add one word after the
other, starting with the shorter ones, until your child eventually matches all
12 fish to their bowls.
Remember to read the words out loud to your child as he
handles them and use them in sentences to emphasize that the symbols printed on
the fish actually represent words that we use every day.
Oh! The magic of being able to read!

How to Raise a Genius
You may be thinking, “The title of this info-graphic may lead parents to parent wisely for the wrong reasons” and we say, yes, there is naturally more to parenting than raising a genius. What about raising a happy,caring and morally grounded individual?
Fact is, we at the Practica Program have witnessed time and
time again that parents, who may initially be motivated to tap into research so
that they can build their children’s brain power, soon discover that actually
DOING the things that researchers have found to be beneficial for building
brains, like spending one-on-one time with their children,
don’t only build brains;
these things build souls and hearts too.
Have a look at the tips listed here,
and whatever your initial reasons for doing so, take the plunge and turn off the TV. Talk to your kids. Watch what they eat. Get them
moving and praise them in healthy ways. (If you missed the post about healthy praise go here) Everybody
wins.
