  Summer 2019
          Ah, the joys of summer! What adult doesn’t have vivid memories of summers
          from childhood? Some of us remember climbing trees, catching lightning bugs,
          neighborhood baseball and kickball games, jumping rope, riding bikes, going
          swimming, playing hide and seek, staying out until dark… lots of everyday
          opportunities for PLAY!

          For many children and families, summers are very different now. Play, however,
          is still important for all of us, and ESSENTIAL for children! It is in this hope of
          providing you with some everyday opportunities for play that this summer
          calendar was written. Think of it not as a chore to complete, but as a guide to
          creating your own summer memories. Most of all, remember:
                                  YOU are your child’s favorite toy
                                  Play is how young children learn
                                  Following your child’s lead works best

Pause to play… at least once a day!
Play is more than just fun and games. Here are some of the ways your child will learn and grow when you spend
time playing together.

Major Areas of Development:
  Fine Motor
     Fine motor skills involve using the small muscles of the body like the fingers, often in coordination with the eyes. These skills
     allow young children to use their hands and eyes to play, learn and explore the things in their world.

  Gross Motor
     Gross motor skills use the large muscles of the arms, legs, body and feet needed to learn to sit, crawl, walk, run, climb
     and jump.

  Social
    Social development is the ability to value and form satisfying relationships with others, including parents, caregivers, peers
    and other adults.

  Emotional
    Emotional development refers to the capacity to experience, regulate and express emotions. It is based upon children’s
    feelings about themselves, others, and their worlds.

  Cognitive
    Cognitive skills are those needed to understand and interact with the world around them. This refers to how children learn,
    remember, plan, and solve problems.

  Communication
       Speech – producing sounds to form words.
       Language – understanding and using words to communicate thoughts, ideas and emotions.
