Today, my grandchildren ages 3 and 4 were over. They love to play in the tutoring building because of the balls hanging from the ceiling. These balls can be lowered to their size and encourage hand eye coordination.
Where else can people usually hit a ball inside or throw balls or scarves inside.
I encourage them to play in the building under supervision because of the learning challenges that run in our family. They enjoy the balance boards and this is good for children. Supervision is necessary unless I want to spend days finding all the pieces of the games I use to teach and putting things back together.
Today, my grandson, age 11, was excited to play with his younger cousins.
He is old enough to play the games and knows the rules. He does not understand why the little cousins do not play better and why he has to play his turn quickly or they get bored and go play something else. It is funny to look back on now but it was not so funny when I was trying to keep everyone happy.
It also helped me remember why I usually tutor with a one to one ratio or at least only family at a time.
I ordered Pizza from A J's Heavenly Pizza to make everyone happy for lunch, Mom and Dad came and everyone was happy.
