Hi i'm doctor Jody Sherman Levos learning designer at leapfrog

i'm gonna talk to you today about the summer brain drain and as a parent and a

researcher Iknow how important it is to keep you can't activating gauged

all summer long

researchers now know that children can leave at the two months of their

academic knowledge during the summer if they don't remain engaged

the summer is a great property to show your kids that learning is not just

about the classroom it can occur anytime anywhere

and you can really rallied together as a family

you can go on field trips to places like those new means the uh... more even the

local farmers market

and really give your children a chance to try and see and taste new things that

have new experiences

you cannot somebody's going to keep a scrap but this summer

which will help prompt them with their writing and drawing skills as well wells

their creativity skills i'm also preserve this family memories for years

to come we have those ideas and many more available on our website leapfrog

dot com slash summer

parents can go there and find their kids up for a free summer camp eight weeks

fine

and each week as a new topic with games activity ideas for kids as well as

without

whole family and that's gonna hopkins learned through out the family man

and of course you can also learned through technology we know that kids

engage with technology at a younger age and more often than ever before

they see their parents using tablets and local farms and they want a part of that

soak it should really look for hardware that is going to be kids have and

durable so one example is the leap frog leap on we also have the newly pad to

that is just that's coming out this fall

and the week pat has that touchscreen naked love so much but it's also kid

tough

we have gaining four devices including elites digi at and all of these devices

share a library of content that especially to find

for your child the content grows with your child and covers curricular topics

from things like a_b_c_'s on twenty three

to science in logic and reasoning so when you're looking for content for kids

you want to find content that is eight appropriate that educational and of

course is entertaining

so cancel investor playing when they're having fun you can one of fine gains and

abstain really appeal to that

the one example is role the police field

it's available on our accenture online and kids get to use the accelerometer in

the devices to move the device inside side which is going to help move that

rolly polly to answer the math questions it's a game it's very fine but of course

a very educational ford as well soap should know that kids are hardwired to

learn their little scientists and its our job as parent than educators to

inspire and support camp that they've learned

find out their passion topics if it's cooking and get in the kitchen with

their kids and use that as an opportunity to teach them about things

like measurement and counting and most of all

how fun
