Check out the amazing tips author Meg Klettke gives in this blog.

Single-Focused Tasks

With the growing flood of information and technology, distractions are at the forefront of our every step of productivity. And while this is affecting everyone, these distractions are most detrimental to children’s developing brains.

Summer fun and carefree, sunny days can have the same Pooh Bear affect on our kiddos! Distractions of play, engagement in special activities, shifts out of a usual routine while all well intentioned can at times contribute to a spirit of forgetfulness in our children.
