Do you have a little one or two or more that are near and dear to you? Why not celebrate them during the Week of the Young Child this month?
Young children are treasures; recognize their creativity by hanging up their artwork around the house. If your kids have unharnessed energy, like my daughters, sign them up for a gymnastics class to keep those little jumpers off the furniture and on the balance beams! You could also come out to your neighborhood library for a program or two or explore the many family activities suggested by the National Association for the Education of Young Children this week and beyond.
