Children need order for optimal brain development. Practicing how to start, do and end an activity supports children’s needs to create order. It also prepares the brain for complex learning. How about planning a family picnic with your children? Don’t have time to travel somewhere? Find a spot to have a picnic in your house. Include your children in the preparations for your picnic. This may include planning the menu, deciding where your picnic will take place, and preparing the food.
