Every day, in homes across the country, parents and caregivers do something extraordinary: they help build the foundation for their child’s lifelong learning. From routine activities to new experiences, they invest in their children with their most significant and profound resources- their attention, love, and time. And those first five years of a child’s life are the most significant- both for building their character and for building their mind.
For Mother’s Day this year, Vroom is celebrating an amazing caregiver, and everything she does daily for and with her child. Meet Camellia and Cammie:
They became an even closer family when Cammie was one month old and her aunt became her foster mom, and have since build years of memories playing games together, cooking together, and picking flowers for each other that they found on the moon. Cammie shares her thoughts on her superhero mom, and Camellia realizes all those little things she does are big things to a child.
Every parent and caregiver can be a superhero to a child, just by spending time with them, and using ordinary moments as opportunities to connect, and to build their child’s brain. Some parents may be trying to figure out just how to do this, how to have more of an impact during the mundane and the routine. Well, there’s an app for that!
Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.
Want to be a superhero to your child? Just exercise your super powers of focused attention, chatter, creativity, and humor, and find a little inspiration with the free Vroom app Daily Vroom to give you great ideas that build your child’s brain while you are doing routine things together.
The Daily Vroom gives you a new way every day to encourage your child to think, imagine, and be creative, and it takes no extra time or effort at all. You can click for more ideas beyond the daily suggestion, depending on what you are up to that day, or just let Daily Vroom suggest an idea each day and give you a time frame to get that brain boosting activity done! I love the ideas it shares, and I’ve been looking for a while for a great app for parents that creates learning moments out of everyday activities … I finally found it.
Elevating Ordinary Moments Into Learning Fun
How about asking your son to retell a favorite memory while playing together? Share what you remember and encourage him to do likewise, building his skills of memory, your bond with him, and exercising his attention span.
How about pretending to go fishing during bath time? Ask your daughter to describe the imaginary fish you catch, and catch some of her own.
From birth until five, all those positive moments you spend together create imprints that your children will carry for the rest of their lives, and Daily Vroom has so many ideas for fun times and conversations with your child that can be done during meals, a bath, while cleaning up… any time.
Vroom is designed to give parents and caregivers simple tools to turn our everyday activities into brain building moments and their free app means you can access those simple but very fun and bonding brain builders at any time, so parents are empowered to interact with their child in a way that has greater long term benefits.
I know my sons think dad is their superman. He plays with them, snuggles with them, and just makes sure to always spend time with them. With Daily Vroom, he now has new ideas for brain building activities built around the activities he already does, and to have silly fun while encouraging a stronger memory, focus, self-control, creativity, and so much more- skills that will be useful to them for the rest of their lives.
You can find out more about Vroom and download the app in your app store or at the Daily Vroom site. Like Vroom on facebook and twitter to stay connected and learn more about inspiring our children and making every moment a brain building moment.
