The Lopez Library has partnered with the Lopez Island Family Resource Center to promote Vroom, an organization that offers free tips and activities that support early childhood brain development that care-givers can incorporate into their everyday shared moments with their little ones.
Here are a couple of tips powered by Vroom that you could incorporate into your day:
When you’re waiting somewhere, ask your child to play “Find the Opposites” with you. You call out something big and they respond with the opposite, something small. Start with easy comparisons, like big and small, high and low, or near and far.
When your child learns opposites and distances (near and far), they’re learning ideas they’ll use in math, science, and reading. Remember, it’s always important to play these games in a back and forth way because that is how your child learns best.
You can get more tips when you visit the Library, and by visiting Vroom.org.
