Lather-Up Learning
Time magazine recently dubbed kids today as "Generation M" because of the modern teen's uncanny ability to multitask. Apparently, your average high schooler is able to instant message, play a computer game, surf the Web, talk on a cell phone and complete a history homework assignment all at the same time. While Generation M's elders might not understand this ability (We admit: It makes us dizzy), there's no reason why we can't help our kids maximize their time. Take the shower. Most of us baby boomers and Generation Xers think of the shower as a serene moment in the day when one can unwind, cleanse and perhaps even shave. But for Generation M, it's just the one place where you can't multitask because the water would ruin the batteries. Help your child make use of this "wasted" time by trading in your boring duck-printed shower curtain for one featuring the solar system, a chart of dinosaur species or a weather map. The site www.simplememoryart.com offers a complete catalog of learning-oriented bathroom accessories that will put an end to mindless bathing rituals. Our favorite is the periodic table shower curtain, because we remember how long it took us to master this chart (and how quickly after the chem quiz we forgot everything). You can order three-packs and change the curtain once your Generation Mer has mastered a subject. Why waste one second of his or her shower time, after all, by displaying information he or she already knows? Sauce Pick: Teaching your children well Price: One shower curtain: $32, Shower curtain three-pack: $86.40, shower curtain five-pack: $136 Where to get it: www.simplememoryart.com |
