Today’s Parenting Tip:

DECIDE:   To help your child walk backwards through his mind.

PRACTICE:       Today, when your child misplaces something, talk with him about where he has been step-by-step.

Then, re-walk to those places to see if you can find the missing item.

If that doesn’t work, try thinking back to the last place he remembers having the item. Walk forward from there.

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.)
