Child’s play is serious stuff. After all, play is how kids learn (and learn to learn!), how they develop social-emotional intelligence, and how they bond with loved ones — and that’s just the beginning. As grownups, we know that play is important, but with so many gizmos and gadgets to choose from, the task of picking the right play essentials can feel overwhelming. That’s why we partnered with Dr. Dimitri Christakis from Seattle Children’s Hospital to share some tips on choosing toys that nurture imagination, creativity, and other brain-building assets that’ll set your child up for success.<img src="https://csicdn.kiwico.com/v3/assets/blt5d966d0d1776691c/bltf2e33a6bfeb6b150/6262fdb71306315ccea5134d/Screen_Shot_2022-04-21_at_2.25.33_PM.png" height="auto" data-image="bo5hjcfbx6q6"/>Learn more about Dr. D’s child development expertise and research <a href="https://www.kiwico.com/blog/child-development/meet-dr-d-childhood-development-expert" target="_self">here</a>!

Fun. You can't spell “parenting fundamentals” without it. It's so easy to get sidetracked by the stress of parenting — the tears, the spills, the sleepless nights — that we often forget that raising a child can also be downright delightful. So here are five tips to help cultivate more fun, more joy, and less stress when you’re with your child.&nbsp;

The Magic Word We Rarely Talk About in Parenting

Some babies love tummy time. Others might resist being placed on their bellies in the name of play and exercise (at least at first). But tummy time is worth the time. It’s a workout for the brain and the body — and a wonderful opportunity to bond with your wiggly little baby. Here are just five ways tummy time makes a difference.

5 Reasons Tummy Time is Important for Your Baby (and How to get Started)

The next time your kid scrunches their face to make you laugh or drops their sippy cup to see if you’ll pick it up (for the fourth time in a row), take a moment to consider — and admire! — the brilliant brain behind all those seemingly silly moves.In the first year alone, your baby’s brain doubles in size. By age five, it’s basically the same size as your brain. That’s why brain-building play is so important — it’s the perfect way to harness this period of rapid growth and strengthen the connections in the prefrontal cortex (a.k.a. the command center for everything from problem-solving to emotional regulation).Here are four of the skills your kid’s nifty noggin is working on right now — plus some targeted tips for encouraging purposeful, brain-building play.

puzzles

Play with puzzles to help your little one become a capable, confident problem solver who knows how to keep at it. Puzzles are an accessible and appealing way to sharpen shape recognition, build memory and math skills, and practice fine motor control – all while enjoying some parent-baby bonding time.Big, bright puzzle boxes. Jigsaw puzzle mats. Wooden pegboards with animal-shaped pieces. When it comes to puzzle toys, there are options aplenty to choose from. But why stop there? Here are some ideas for engaging your little one’s shape-recognition skills, creating puzzles from everyday objects, and repurposing old toys into something fresh, fun, and puzzingly new.

Promoting Problem-Solving Through Puzzles

One of the hardest things about parenting is watching your child struggle. But whether it’s developing a new skill (like getting their arms through a jacket) or a new concept (like blowing on hot food to cool it down), little ones learn a lot by working through their frustration and trying again.Luckily, toddlers are curious creatures (sometimes a little too curious). They delight in pushing, poking, and prodding to figure out how things work, and they’ll keep doing it again and again until they’re satisfied. And it’s this repetitive play that also teaches your little one to try, try again, even if they don’t succeed the first time. Here are five ways to help your child build persistence through playtime.

Building Persistence Through Playtime

Now that your baby may be starting to sit up, roll, and get their hands on everything, it’s a great time to help them discover how their bodies and other objects fit in the space around them. As your little one explores the world, they’re collecting information and building their spatial awareness, the set of skills that allows you to understand how your body and other objects fit in the world around you. Basically, it’s the skill that helps you reach for things, walk around stuff, or even read a map — though it doesn’t explain how north isn’t always “up.” (You’re on your own with that one.)These changes are exciting. They’re exhilarating . . . plus, kind of overwhelming. And there’s no way around it. Babyproofing will be an ongoing and probably unloved chore as your baby’s mobility increases. But as you’re busy blocking off unsafe areas, don’t forget to spend some time creating baby-friendly ones. Make some room and encourage your eager explorer to dive in and (safely) explore their world!

One of my greatest hopes is for my children to grow up to be confident — in themselves, in their capabilities, and in their beliefs.
As the founder of KiwiCo, I’m often asked about the inspiration behind the company. Much of the inspiration comes down to confidence. At KiwiCo, we intentionally design fun, enriching, hands-on activities that engage kids and help them build their creative confidence. We believe that this confidence helps kids think big and act like creators and producers instead of just consumers. Kids with creative confidence don’t assume one “right way” to build with LEGOs, paint a picture, or solve a problem. Their unique way is the right way! We celebrate tinkering, experimentation, and a diversity of outcomes. At the end of the day, our vision is to equip kids with the confidence and curiosity to tackle problems where there is no one right answer. The world is complex, and the jobs of the future aren’t necessarily the ones that we see right now. Cathy N. Davidson, co-director of the annual MacArthur Foundation Digital Media and Learning Competitions, notes that 65 percent of today’s grade-school kids may end up doing work that hasn’t been invented yet. We are going to need a lot of creative, confident problem-solvers to develop solutions that address the issues and opportunities of tomorrow. At home, my husband and I often think about how to foster an inner confidence and sense of self in our three children. We have a strong belief that this is critical to help them tackle challenges (at school, on the soccer field, at home, or in life!) with tenacity and persistence. We expect them to give their best selves, to engage deeply, and to make things happen. While this is definitely a work in progress, here are eight ideas that we’ve come to appreciate on our parenting journey.

8 Ways to Raise Confident Kids

As grownups, we all want to shelter kids from the world’s harshest realities. But finding ways to connect with children and help them face challenging situations is also important — it helps kids feel confident and capable, it gives them a voice, and it equips them with the tools they need to make a real difference in the world. We talked to KiwiCo child development expert Sam Foreman to explore&nbsp;five research-backed ways to help kids navigate tough times with resilience, understanding, and self-compassion.

This is a common question we parents get asked when November rolls around. So, this year, we decided to dive into the Daylight Saving Time details to impress our kids with all the answers.
Daylight Saving Time is confusing no matter how old you are. (Even the name itself is confusing. No matter how much we want to add an ‘s’ to the end of saving, it is in fact, singular.) The concept of saving time doesn’t really make sense since the process doesn’t save time rather it shifts time. In many places in the world, Daylight Saving Time is called Summertime which is a more sensible alternative. So, with all the confusion that comes with tinkering with time, we set out to find the answers to all the kid questions to come.
