There is something to be said for how our environment influences us. The instance I am referring to happened over the 4th of July Weekend. We decided to pack up the boys and take a road trip to visit our family in Minnesota. Before anyone jumps to conclusions or lashes out, we remained in our car other than to pump gas or to let our oldest use his travel potty to keep him out of public places. So, upon arriving to my brother’s place it was almost an immediate transformation in Jackson and Carter.
Whenever they are around their older cousins they grow so much. Carter becomes more independent and Jackson was engaging in more activities with his family and babbling more than normal. He even tried to shoot hoops using a regular size basketball, pretty cute!
This is just another reason why I cannot stand COVID. All kids need to be around their peers, older and younger. They learn so much from others and to be couped up inside or social distanced from others halts so much growth development.
Just something to keep in mind that playdates and socializing your kiddos is so important to their growth and wellbeing!!
Stay safe!
XOXO
This is so true this is why our youth education is being delayed I saw Carter and Jackson with our other grand children and it was awesume
