When one of my sons expressed interest in scuba diving, I strapped an empty two-liter pop bottle to his back. For days, his favorite activity was moving around the house on his belly, imagining all kinds of underwater creatures and adventures. Read books to your child that relate to his current interests. This will provide fuel for his developing imagination. Realize that unfinished projects are okay.
Kids often pour energy and time into activities like building a fort or setting up a lemonade stand.
Typically, they engage in the planned activity only briefly, or sometimes, not at all. Remember, too many toys or developmentally inappropriate toys actually discourage play. The vaccine, Varivax, was approved by the FDA in 1995. Those who do contract chicken pox in spite of the vaccine usually have a much milder case. In January 2000, the Center for Disease Control's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended that all children over 12 months who are entering daycare or elementary school be vaccinated with Varivax if they have not already had chicken pox.
