About
Allow at least one hour per day for your child to work on a project of his or her choice. Any educational or creative endeavor that has a tangible result can qualify as a project. Examples include:
- Taking an online course to learn a new skill
- Programming a Lego Mindstorms robot
- Cooking a meal
- Writing a comic strip
- Any kind of art project
- Organizing a bake sale
- Building a miniature house
- Working on a blog or personal website
Activities that don't qualify include pure recreation, watching videos or reading (unless part of a project to learn a new skill), and scheduled extracurricular activities. Beyond that, we suggest that you allow your child the freedom to choose whatever strikes his fancy.
