Today’s Parenting Tip:

DECIDE:   To learn to walk backwards through your mind.

PRACTICE:       Today, when you misplace something or find you can’t remember something, try walking backwards through your mind.

If you misplace something, think about where you have been. Then you can go back to or call any places where you might have dropped or set down what you misplaced.

If you can’t remember something, think about what other things you thought about or talked about recently. Those connections, may trigger the thought you are trying to remember.

Today’s Decide and Practice daily parenting tip was inspired by our featured picture book, PLAIDYPUS.  Read the book to a child in your life each day as a reminder of what you are deciding and practicing that day.

Come back each day for another good parenting decision and how to practice it. (Each day’s activity will also be posted on the Daily Parenting Tips page for easy access.)
