As parents, we often start young singing ABCs and teaching our children to count to 10 which are no doubt important skills. We should be reminded not to overlook the crucial role of starting to build a fiscal foundation at a very young age. Impressionable small minds and eyes are watching your every move, including decisions made at the grocery store and every day purchases. We’ve got some simple ways to help build a solid future for your kid’s accounts that are sure to make it easy to teach one of the most valuable life skills.
You’ve heard it a million times… “They grow up so fast”. As a kid you can’t believe it, as a young adult you start to get the picture, and by the time you have kids of your own you start to say it for yourself.
Why is it then that a rough pregnancy, the struggles of toddler woes, or even the fight of getting a young one dressed and out the door steal the joy from the precious few moments we have with our children while they are young?
The answers to that are many and varied, but we wanted to spend some time reminding you why, how, and when to make sure you don’t miss the most precious years life has to offer you as a parent.
A solid foundation is the key to most anything successful in life. Among the top recommendations for children is ample time spent reading with parents, siblings, and on their own. We had to ask, is it really that important? We wanted to find out exactly why books are important to young minds and how we can help you build this habit into your daily routine.
As Easter fast approaches, a simple to do may pop into your head as a traditionalist. New outfits all around for the kids and adults to look their Sunday best for the holiday! But pausing a moment, we had to ask, where does this notion come from, and does it still hold up today? We’ve done our research to bring you the answers!
If you are searching for the coolest toys in opinion of both child and parent, look no further. The Melissa & Doug Toy line is carried by Duck Worth Wearing Ames and Ankeny locations. We’ve done our research to put together the top 5 boy and girl toys reviewed at no lower than five stars! We’ve also selected our personal favorite, perfect for boys & Girls!
