Dear Parents and Teachers of Early Childhood and Elementary School Children-
Like me, I am sure many of you are wondering how to keep your children engaged during these fairly unstructured days. Although I personally dream of curling up on the couch and losing myself in a book, telling my kids to “get a book” doesn’t seem to lead to very much excitement in my house. Please tell me you can relate, and there isn’t something terribly wrong with my parenting (gulp).
