What should parents keep in mind when planning ...........
1) Take a pencil and paper along. When children are really turned on by what they see in a museum, it's frustrating for them not to be able to do something. Let them draw what they're seeing. Some kids might even want to write in a journal.
2) Kids do not do well on a empty stomach.
3) Buy a souvenir. Embedded in these souvenirs are memories. Six months later, you can pick them up and say, "Remember when we visited the museum?"
4) Keep the learning informal. The number one comment I hear kids making to their parents is "This is not school!"
5) Have modest expectations, and when a child reaches capacity, that's it. Less is more.
