FAD mission statement
Welcome to Focus And Discovery (FAD), a forum and tool for parents of young children. The purpose of FAD is to spend specific, set aside time with our children helping them to learn basic concepts and start the first steps toward literacy. We want our children to love learning, and we want to be involved in their schooling.
Please keep all your posts and comments clean and centered on the purpose of FAD. This is a learning and sharing blog, for the mutual benefit of all. Ideas for potential posts: lesson or activity ideas, recent kid's projects or success stories, questions, goals, frustrations, dreams, etc.

I think errands are a great learning/fun time for kids. Lee adores going to the bank (suckers!) and pushing his own little cart at the store.
ReplyDeleteA random thing my mom used to do when we were kids was clip coupons. At the store she would give us a coupon with a picture on it, and we could go find the item (we were probably 5 or older when we could do it ourselves). She would save a little money and entertain her kids all at the same time; and we learned about budgeting, finding good foods to eat, and being helpers to boot!
