Happy 3rd birthday from the Book of You book club, where we collect and cherish childhood memories together.
1. The Moment
Year three - how's it been? Your little one's personality is no doubt shining through in full force now. Time to get those moments down into your Book of You.
1. Pick the right time - whenever they are most open to chats
2. Grab paints, pens, and aprons
3. Talk about the big things that have happened
4. Then fill in your Book of You together
2. The Memory
It's already fun comparing to the year before.
To share your memory, tag @colour.chronicles on insta. If we feature yours on our social or here, we’ll send you a book of your choice.
3. The Advice You Didn't Ask For
“Play helps build a warm relationship between family members and creates a bank of positive feelings and experiences that can be drawn upon in times of conflict. Through play, ,you can help you children solve problems, test out ideas, and explore their imaginations.”
— Carolyn Webster-Stratton, The Incredible Years Founder
4. The Parent Friend
Bored Mum and Little One
Taking an honest look at parenting little ones, mum of two and play therapist Lisa Quilter (AKA Bored Mum and Little One) has lots of brilliantly simple ideas to keep both you and them entertained. Whether the results are Insta-worthy or laughable, you're sure to have some fun along the way.
For kids that love dress-up, this is next level. You let them choose your outfit for the day. Extra points if you leave the house. Extra, extra points if you let them do hair, make up, and accessories. They'll get to see you being silly - and they'll also feel empowered by this moment of control. And hey, you might just love your new look too!
