As Jadon approaches one year of age, we would like to provide some guidance for family and friends who would like to bless Jadon. We would like to provide him with tools that build his imagination and allow him to regulate himself. Therefore, toys that enable this are non-descript, realistic props, general blocks, storybooks (board books) and toys that can be used in many ways. Please contact us with questions and we will be happy to guide you.
The following article from National Public Radio has renewed our interest in this approach. Some research suggests that imaginative play trains kids to manage themselves and have self control. This self regulation, as the article calls it, is supposed to be great indicator of long term success as well.
There is a proverb: "Train up a child in the way he should go,even when he is old he will not depart from it."
That's our goal!
