Parenting Tips

Interaction with a child is critical for the best possible brain development. Every time parents or caregivers connect with them they are helping to develop childrens’ brains. Parents have a lot of challenges and sometimes spending quality time with a child seems impossible. The trick is to interact with your child in everyday moments.

Milwaukee PBS and Vroom have partnered to bring practical tools to help parents and caregivers connect with children. Vroom offers activities that turn the important time spent with children into brain development time.

Milwaukee PBS and Vroom hope parents and caregivers put into practice these brain building moments.
