Creative Play – Starlight Theater
In the long run, a healthy diet of imaginative play will strengthen your child’s ability to tackle difficult, non-linear problems both academically and in the real world. Imaginative play turns ordinary things into a bundle of possibilities. A newspaper becomes a telescope, a briefcase, or a log. A stick becomes a wand, a cane, a baton, etc. The point is that the grip of ‘primary use’ is relaxed during imaginative play. Exploratory thinking takes over and possibilities become endless.
Another important element of imaginative play is that it is sustained almost entirely by creative energy. There is nothing to plug in. No batteries are required, etc. In most cases the props in use are nothing but what imagination says they are. In other words, there is no mistaking the source of stimulus and fun. Your child is at the helm, exercising creativity in the purest sense of the word.

Respecting Others in a Movie Theater
I used to love going to the movies. Now, I feel like I’m lucky to get through the opening credits without a cellphone going off or having the back of my seat kicked. And then there are those people who decide to talk over the movie, explaining plot lines to each other and making it impossible for the rest of the theater-goers to follow the action. It’s so distracting! Sometimes I wonder if I should skip the hassle and just rent the movie when it comes out on DVD so my husband and I can watch it at home without the aggravation.
To keep the peace, be mindful of these cinema etiquette pointers.
