Vroom works to help build adult-child bonds

Vroom Tips™ empower parents and caregivers to make the most of the little daily interactions they have with their children every day. Science shows these moments of connection not only build relationships, they boost brain development. It doesn’t take extra time or money. Used by more than 1.5 million caregivers, the Vroom app and Vroom by Text™ are always free and at your fingertips. Vroom is here to help inspire new ideas and encourage more of what parents are already doing to support their child’s early brain-building.

Vroom Tip #878: Family Time

Try this Vroom Tip to build your child’s literacy skills and help them feel closer to family.  

Invite your child to tell a story using family photos. Look through them together and ask what they want to say about them. Then write down the words they say. They can add drawings, scribbles, or letters too.  They’ll be so excited to have their words written down!

Your child is using their focus and self-control to concentrate on looking closely at the pictures, while using their communication skills to figure out what they want to say and how to say it. When you make language and writing personal, you help them build a lifelong love of literacy.
