Celebrate Easter with creative Easter projects for preschoolers. Let children help baby Jesus with his buttons in this fine motor skills Montessori activity.
Most parents want to provide a stable home for their children. However, in many cases, this is not possible due to various circumstances. Children's raising is divided into two households, or even only one parent ends up assuming the great responsibility of raising his/her child.
When parents assume their motherhood or fatherhood alone, several important questions arise: when should we explain to children about their absent father/mother, and which is the best way to do it?
The absence of a parent leaves deep emotional wounds. However, it is an issue that sooner or later must be addressed since children will always ask about their parents.
If children have to go through a separation, parents must explain their life's changes. If, on the other hand, it is a child who did not get to know his/her father/mother, he/she should be allowed to ask all the questions he/she needs to ask.
Although this is indeed an issue that must be addressed, parents should not be the ones to initiate the talk; they must wait for the child to ask for his/her father/mother.
When explaining things to children, it is very important to keep their age in mind. Look for simple terms, avoid badmouthing your ex, and be patient with this issue, as children will need to ask a lot of questions. The adult must be willing to talk to his/her child about it.
Speaking the truth is particularly important. That does not mean that the child should know the separation details, but false expectations must not be created. The children's version must be the same version that the family knows; otherwise, it will be useless to talk with children if the relatives tell them a different thing. Give your child the opportunity to create his/her own perception of the facts.
The image transmitted to children of their parents deeply marks their lives, so try not to be offensive because this will not affect your ex; it will affect your children. Many parents do not think about the importance of this topic, but a child's parental image will define the type of partner they will have in the future. Finally, do not forget to make it clear to your children that they are not to blame for anything and that they can always count on you.

HOW TO DEVELOP THIS EASTER PROJECT ACTIVITY WITH CHILDREN OF OTHER AGES?
CHANGES FOR CHILDREN UNDER 4 YEARS OLD
This Easter project for kids activity can be done with younger children. To reduce the difficulty level, you will not need to change the materials. The important thing is to make sure that the materials are located on a flat surface and that no matter how much the child stretches the rubber bands, they will not move. In this way, it will be easier for them to pass the rubber bands through the buttons, and children will carry out a motor skill activity appropriate to their development and abilities.
CHANGES FOR CHILDREN OVER 6 YEARS OLD
This Easter projects for preschoolers activity can be done with older children. To reduce the difficulty level, children will have to pass a smaller rubber band over the buttons. That requires greater strength in the muscles of the hands and fingers. The rubber band can also be located by colors. In this way, children will have to identify the colors and put them correctly. Thus, children will carry out a kids activity appropriate to their development and abilities.
