You want your kids to be able to wind down
and regroup during summer vacation, but you also don't want them to
lose hard-won skills. Pediatric occupational
therapist Meghan Corridan, who blogs at MAC&Toys, talks to
Catherine about ways parents can work with kids who are tired out
by camp and uninterested in being tied to a desk. She mentions
the apps Letter School,
Toonia Differences, and Little Bit Studios, plus the
use of a stylus as useful for fine-motor skills. For toys, she
suggests games from Blue
Orange Games, Discovery
Putty from Fun and
Function, and OgoDisc from
Ogosport. For more

hAPPiness" and "Screen
