Would YOU like being forced to sit at a desk or table or carpet spot for hours at a time?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Children are the same - and their bodies need movement more frequently. As adults we have learned to cope by swaying in our chair, tapping our feet, or moving our bodies in ways that aren't distracting for others - because we need that sensory release.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Children are the same! Children’s brains haven’t developed that impulse control yet. Which is all the more reason to let them move!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Children moving through play develop motor skills (fine and large), hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving. All of these skills are essential for future learning, academic and otherwise.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Wonderful advice ❤

Calming Your Clingy Child - Janet Lansbury It’s good to feel needed, but when we become parents, we realize we never knew “needy”. As Magda Ge**er aptly noted, parenting brings with it a “feeling of un-freeness”, whether we’re in the presence of our children or not. Toward the end of the first year of life (when children become m...

Helping Kids Adjust to Life With the New Baby - Janet Lansbury I’d just landed at LAX and was waiting at the baggage claim carousel when I heard an angry exchange. I turned toward the adjacent carousel and saw a three or four-year-old girl decked out in a colorful traveling ensemble – brightly patterned leggings, a trendy t-shirt and pink plastic movie star...

What do you love about you?

The words we say to children are powerful. It's important to slow down and really think about what message we want to send, then figure out the clearest way to do so. Fred Rogers is an excellent resource to learn more about communicating with young children.

Mister Rogers Had a Simple Set of Rules for Talking to Children

Take a deep breath, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Relax your neck and shoulders. Remember, your child has only been in this world for a very short time and they have so much to explore and learn about. They need your patient redirection and loving explanations to understand how to behave. It takes lots of repetitions to help them build new skills, including self-control which neurologically takes several years to develop. Your consistency and hard work will pay off, I promise ❤

This is such an important reminder, especially for new parents. Your baby's need to build trust and feel safe is as vital to their healthy development as their need for oxygen and food. Hold, talk, and sing to your child every day and watch your connection flourish ❤

Loving Care and Support updated their business hours.

On this day of generosity and giving, may I suggest myself as the recipient of your caring support. As for many, the past several months have been difficult for me and my family. I am not able to teach in my classroom and connect with my childcare families the way I usually would, which has been both heartbreaking and extremely stressful. I have also recently encountered multiple health issues which may impact my ability to return to the classroom at all (praying that will not be the case). In an attempt to continue my life’s work of supporting the healthy development of children and their families, I have started a Patreon page. In this way I can offer the expertise gained from my 32 years of experience to help ease the stresses and difficulties often encountered during other’s parenting or teaching journeys.

I am asking you all today to consider becoming one of my Patrons. For only $5 to $20 a month you can make a vital impact in both my life and in the lives of the people I will help in this community. It’s a small amount of money to you, but together it will be life saving for me and my family. Even if you are not a parent or teacher yourself, the information I will be sharing can be of benefit to you personally. Many of the techniques I will be discussing can improve the quality of your interactions with others, regardless of their age. If you are not able to support me at this time, I completely understand. Please consider sharing this post on your own page in case someone you know might be in need of my services. To those who have already, or will pledge their support in the future, thank you. I appreciate you more than words can express.

Over the years, one of the most common topics of concern for families has been how to best support their child when they are upset, especially when their child is screaming and crying loudly. Because we love our children so much, we parents often have a knee jerk reaction to our child’s tears that makes us want to do whatever we can to make them stop and feel better. Our hearts break when our children are sad or hurt and we want to fix it as soon as possible. This urge to comfort and “fix” whatever is bothering our child is frequently displayed by shushing them and gently repeating, “You’re Ok…You’re Ok…”. While this calming display may appear to be supportive and caring, and in many ways it is, it also carries with it the subtle message that what your child is feeling, and specifically how they are expressing it, is somehow “not ok”. There is an even healthier technique that helps your child, to not only calm down more quickly, but also serves to empower them and help them better identify and process their emotions. In this month’s “Loving Care and Support” Patreon blog post I will be going into greater detail about this simple technique that can transform how you look at your child’s intense emotional outbursts and better still, the most effective way to respond to them.
