FAMILY ENGAGEMENT IDEAS
In addition to the digital resources that are being shared with families, you might want to consider low-tech alternatives that encourage creativity, collaboration, and family connection. Take the challenge and commit to four (4) activities a day and enjoy your time together!
Some important things to remember:
- Maintain a consistent routine (bedtime, get dressed every day, monitor/limit screen time).
- Check-in devices before bedtime and charge them in a common area.
- Talk about what is happening with your children in age-appropriate ways.
- Roleplay with your child.
- Eat meals together without personal devices.
- Be sure to get outside and stay active.
- Keep in mind that learning can happen anywhere!
