Cutting Down Fears, When Cutting Off Hairs!

"I'm not afraid of no haircuts!" explains my seven-year-old grandson!
Well, not anymore he's not. But, once upon a time, in the not-so-distant past, this sweetheart hated haircuts. Tears and fears surrounded just the mention of a trim. Fortunately, today, not only are trips to the salon fine, but he doesn't like to leave the house without his hair combed and coiffed. Hurray for getting older, gentle approaches, and lots of favorite treats after the big event.

The Many Benefits to Playing "Hide and Seek"

 

Hmm...I wonder where Finn is hiding? I've looked under, over, and behind everywhere I can think of! And he's so quiet, too! Oh, no! He's under my desk! Why didn't I think of that! He's tricked me again. I've got to become a better finder because I'm really not good at hiding either, as my grandson would quickly agree!

Hide and Seek is a great game to be enjoyed by all with many wonderful skills to be practiced and learned.

I've copied a few links below on the subject for your reading pleasure! Lots of ideas on ways to elevate the game, too!

Do share a game you play with your kids/grandkids! Always love to hear from you!
