Snow Days
SNOW DAYS
Thinking back on my childhood, I remember the thrill of a Snow Day....not having to go to school, being able to sleep in. All of these are appealing to any child, but this unplanned time off also opened up a world of possibilities for how we would use our day off. Sledding, building a snow man, changing out of wet clothes and warming up with a hot cup of cocoa. In our busy lives with lots of assignments and activities, sometimes it's good to have a "snow day". Encouraging kids to have some downtime, even when it's not snowing, can be an important part of life. It opens up time for socialization, exercise, and using one's imagination. These are all important to promoting mental health and healthy childhood development. Hoping you all stay safe and warm this winter. Have fun!!
