The Infinite Magic of Stories

The Infinite Magic of Stories

How to Engage Children without a Computer (Series)

During last Sunday’s Parent Teacher Power Hour, we took a deep dive into the Infinite Magic of Stories, 
and discovered a whole new world! Please click the link to learn more about how you can help stimulate intellectual, social, and emotional development in children by understanding what it takes to create stories and the vast world of stories that you can share.
Sunday, April 26, at 7:05 p.m. Eastern time, join us as we keep going with stories and investigate folk tales, fables, and fairy tales from around the world. We’re going to ask participants who would like to share to share the name of a favorite fairy tale, folktale, or fable, such as the Tortoise and the Hare, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, Cinderella, Anansi stories, Jack and the Beanstalk, and, of course, many more – and what you learned from the tales and what you hope students will learn.

Links to hundreds of fairy tales, folktales and fables are on the 8 Ways to Engage Children Without a Computer handout.  Email caroline@carolinebrewerbooks.com for your invitation to the Parent Teacher Power Hour.

8 Ways to Engage Children Without A Computer

8 Ways to Engage Children Without a Computer
and support their intellectual growth and development

I love being offline much more than being online and I know how important it is for children to spend time growing and developing without devices. That’s why 8 Ways to Engage Children – mentally, physically, and intellectually  — without computers. This list could have included 80 Ways, or even 800. But I think this list of 8 is pretty substantial, so take a look, try some out some of these ways and let us know what you think.

And, of course, have fun!

Email caroline@carolinebrewerbooks.com with your stories and thoughts. And join us tomorrow at 7 p.m. to learn more about how to have fun with the 8 Ways.
