Take some quiet time each day.

During this time, you might read, draw, snuggle a stuffed animal, watch a favorite show, or just lie down and let your imagination take over. Listen to... some quiet music, a chapter of Charlotte's Web, or a podcast (Wow in the World! for science; Stories Podcast or Circle Round for stories).

Afternoon Projects

Continue creating a place where important services happen. This does not have to be an essential service, but something that is important to you and your family—maybe a library, hair salon or barbershop, garbage collection, delivery, cook, nurse, post office, bus or subway...

Collect some materials from around your home to create the place where that service happens.

Act out being the producer—the person who provides the service.

Act out being the consumer—the person who uses the service.

Crea un lugar donde un servicio importante para tí y tu familia ocurre. Puede ser la biblioteca, la peluquería, el camión de la recolección de basura, el carro de reparto a domicilio, una cocina, un hospital, el correo, el autobús, el tren, etc..

Busca materiales en tu casa que puedas usar para crear el lugar que hayas elegido.

Actúa ser el productor, o sea, la persona que provee el servicio.

Actúa ser el consumidor, o sea, la persona que utiliza ese servicio.
