Most popular TV Today

Typical of this time of year, I'm wanting to get out of the house and be busy and active, while the boys want to hunker down and wait out the last cold snaps of the seasons. They will most likely clamber to go to the park and play outside 2 or 3 times a day when the snow has melted and it is warm enough to wear a sweater without a coat or jacket. For now though, we try to meet in the middle and go out when necessary, and rediscover summer fun indoors, with slides, and swings, and beach toys. 

Another issue that comes up this year is their reluctance to be social outside of immediate family, particularly if it means going outdoors to get there... 

We do however, and I have found some necessary tools in myself again (rediscovered every year and with every challenge) to help soothe the transition of spring again. Spring and Autumn can be hard on them, but with many more outdoors homeschooling adventures in the near future, we will curb that, and be able to hold onto that information for next year.

Leapfrog (Math Circus)
I adore this series, as much as I adored the toddler and infant toys they grew up with. If you find something that works, and happens to grow with your child, why not do what you can with it. 

Waybuloo
This became more popular in our home when they both hit preschool age, way too young to understand or accept the possibility of self-regulation, but this has helped. We will be going to kids yoga very soon.

Magic School Bus
Intro to Science at home for little 'D', a little bit too advanced in language, but we will be introducing another big kids science show very soon, meet their developmental ages in the middle.
