Our TASK kids have been on the go and busy bees this summer with all of our fun field trips! We wanted to slow down, give them a break and grab a sweet treat!
We took them to Sweet CeCe's and they all got to choose their own ice cream flavor and toppings. Cake batter ice cream and sprinkles was the top choice for our girls and our boys opted for the chocolate ice cream with every topping they could fit in their cup!
We think it is important for our school age kids to slow down because at this age, they are constantly bombarded with new information, voices and sounds. It is very hard to find room for creativity and for getting new ideas. Influences are good for creativity but an overload of input just makes them feel like their minds are overstuffed and like they are just trying to keep up with it all.
“Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going to fast – you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.”
