😵‍💫 BIG feelings can be HARD for little people!
Excited. Angry. Worried. Frustrated. Sad. Overwhelmed. 😤😢😨

I’ve created a catchy new song to help children learn simple tools they can actually use when those feelings get BIG! 🧡

🎵 Stop. Breathe. Feel. Choose.
🫶 Move. Hug. Talk. Rest.

We’re not trying to stop children from having big feelings—we’re helping them learn what to do with them. 🌈

🎶 Big Feelings, Little Tools is now out on The Teaching Hive YouTube Channel. (Click the link in the Bio)😊

Humour of the Day! 😂
I work in a kindergarten, and last week two kids on the swing asked me to push them. I told them I would be there in a minute, as I was finishing a task. When I got to the swing, one child told me that the other kid had called me "an old fart" 🤣🤣🤣. Trying to keep a straight face, I quickly replied, "Oh dear, I wonder if this old fart is too old to push the swing." 😁 Both kids quickly decided I wasn't THAT old. Kids say the funniest things!! 😊

Happy New Year, everyone! Let's make this year one of peace, joy, kindness, and the opportunity for amazing self-growth and learning. I love this quote by Ashley Montagu:
“Love is the supreme form of communication.� In the hierarchy of needs, love stands as the supreme developing �agent of the humanity of the person. As such, the teaching of love �should be the central core of all early childhood curriculum� with all other subjects growing naturally out of such teaching.”�
