I read this quote the other day and it touched me deeply:

“Having somewhere to go is home. Having someone to love is family. And having both is a blessing.”

How often do we remember this?

How often do we remind ourselves that our biggest treasure is our family?

It does not matter who is part of this family. If you are a single parent, if the grandparents help you raise your child, if you are divorced or if you are living together.

If you have someone to love and take care of, you are blessed, for sure.

If you have a loved one, tag them below and let them know how important they are for you. ❤️

I had a dream.

A dream of inspiring people to treat children better.

A dream of making a difference in the early childhood sector.

I breathe and dream about a better world for our children.

Would you like to join me? 💙

The factors that motivate the lack of
patience with the children are many and are
associated, in turn, to different areas. These
are situations that decrease enjovful times
and increase irritability and emotional
instability.

It is extremely common…Lack of patience
with children is a problem that afflicts many
adults. There are also many who don't know
why this happens, as they love children and
only want the best for them.

The truth is that
one feeling does not exclude the other. This
can happen when you are a parent or even
an educator and have unresolved internal
issues or use inappropriate strategies to
deal with everyday situations.

The secret is exactly what Daisaku Ikeda
said: " With love and patience, nothing is
impossible." If you are feeling constantly
impatient, you need to look into what is
behind it. This implies a work of reflection
and honesty with oneself, to identify the
cause or causes behind this situation.

A good starting point is to start by thinking
about the reasons that motivated parents to
be parents or to become an educator. Then
you can do some professional development
or consultancy sessions with me and learn

"I always dreamed of becoming a mum and now that it finally happened… I question my capabilities a lot."

Have you ever had these kind of thoughts? Have you ever felt insecure about your decisions.

These kind of thoughts are more common than you think. We all tend to put so much pressure on ourselves….. there are no books or workshops out there that will make you perfect.

Here is the thing: your children don't need you to be perfect. They need you to be the best you can. Most of the time. I know we can be our best ALL the time and nobody expects you to be.

Just be yourself and try to give your best with the resources that you have now. Your child will thank you for that. 💙

I experienced and heard this somany times. l havehadfamilymemberscriticising me because. Iwouldn'tsmack my son or punish him the way he deserved.

In the beginning I used to care and evenquestionmyself if I wasdoing the right thing, if I wasn'tbeing "too soft" on my son.

l know it can be challenging and veryconfronting. It can even push you away from your family.

So if your familytends to be activelyengaged in your life, whatsuggest to you is:

• Be empathetic. People know whatthey know by experience. Don't take it personally.

• Be firm and don't be afraid to say that there is much more awarenessnowadaysthanyears ago. And if theywant to activelyparticipate in the life of theirgrandchild, it should be according to your familyvalues.

• Share books, podcasts and encouragethem to learn and understand your parentingapproach.

• Define your boundaries. You must do what you feel it's right.

• Study, study, study! Acquiring knowledge is going to bring the confidence you need to keepgoing.

Remember: everyone is doing the best they can with the knowledge theyhave. Eventhoughtheycould be "justtrying to help" your parentingapproachshould be respected. 💙

How many times to I need to tell you this???”

"Are you listening to me???"

"Why can't you do this???"

Have you ever said one of these things?
I know I have. 🙈

What if I tell you that if you changed the way
you communicated with your child, things
could improve?

There is a way to getthem to listen (most of
the time).😜

You can start by:

• Giving clear guidance of expected
behaviour. (For example: "we are going to
the supermarket and you can choose one
special item to buy.")

• Consistency on expectations (e.g: if you
expect them to pack away their toys, they
need to do it most of the times and not just
sometimes).

• positive communication (eg: tell your
child what you want her to do and not what
she needs to stop doing...)

Realizing that your child is sad can be very difficult for parents, bringing in insecurities
and doubts. But, the best approach is for parents to act with a lot of patience and calm.

The first step is to understand the reasons causing your child's feelings. From there, try
to create an open and sincere communication channel, giving space and time for the child to express their feelings.

Acknowledge and validade your child's teelings.

Emotional coaching is essential so children learn to deal with these emotions, since in
most cases of sadness the origin is the difficulty of dealing with their own feelings.

Educational games are greatways tosupport children while developing somemotor skills.

Do you usually play games with yourchildren?💙 Share thembelow.

When you understand this, you understand everything!

Do you agree?

Toddlers are always absorbing the space, the energy of all the people, while also developing their motor, cognitive and social skills through self chosen play. For them, it’s exhausting! So... acknowledge that they are capable and competent and follow these strategies:

• Create time to spend 1:1 with them
• Get them involved
• Give them responsibilities
• Follow their lead
• Get to know their interests/strengths
• Be affectionate
• Be genuine in your interactions
• Listen to them
• Have fun
• Be a child again, don't be afraid of being ridiculous!

DID YOU KNOW THAT SHIFTING THE WAY WE SEE CHILDREN, HELP US RESPOND IN A WAY THAT FEELS GOOD?

How amazing is this?

We have to pass calm through our voice. No judgement so just come with curiosity. Try to see things from their point of view. Your communication with your toddler will be much more effective.

You are not alone in this! Using positive education can be simpler than you think. Start by doing these following things:

- Acknowledge and value your child's feelings.
- Don't judge their behaviours.
- Focus on give=ing your child coping tools when they are feeling calmer.
- Remember: every behaviour is communication!

All of this will make your process a lot easier. Send this post to a mum who will start this journey with you!

Labeling a child, even if in a flattering tone, is the shortestway to prunetheir future potentials...

Labelshurt, they limit. The childneeds to know that she can be who she is. 💙

Now do you understand the importance of positive education?

I'm here to help you, it's never too late to seek help! Educating is not about hurting, it's about creating strong relationships. 💙

“Mummmmmmm!”, “He started it!”, “It’s not fair!”, “I got it first!”, “But, Dad!”…

How many times have you heard these phrases?Sibling fights are super common, but you need to know how to get around it in a serene way.

The secret is to have a conversation… Unfortunately not just one single conversation will eliminate the problem. You will have to insist and not give up talking and explaining. Repeat, repeat and repeat.

If you have children that are 7 years old and over, they will love these movies!

I love movies that can be thought-provoking in more ways than one. The movies that make you think and provoke conversation regarding morals, values, love life, or even question overall life choices are those that make our head spin.

Peanut Butter Falcon is a story about a man with down syndrome who runs away from a residential nursing home to pursue his dream of becoming a wrestler. Later, he meets with an outlaw who becomes his friend and coach. It brings awareness about Down syndrome people’s abilities and accomplishments.

Young Sheldon is our family’s favourite! Even though it is not a movie, it is a tv show, you can watch one episode every night as family. It will be a bit! The show is about Genius Sheldon and his struggles to fit in with his unintellectual family in Texas.

Hustle is about a basketball scout who discovers an extraordinary player abroad, and he brings the phenom back without his team's approval. The movie talks about resilience, persistence, hard work… it’s amazing!

Tell me, have you seen any of them? Which one is your favourite? 💙

Giving toys often to your children, good "lies" to have an action, running routine and lack of attention...

Is this doing any good for your little one? Will they have consequences in the future?

See the post until the end and call me in direct. I will love to help you in this matter.💙

Have you ever heard this?

What if I tell you that a child can feel like their feelings aren’t valued when she hears this?

What if I tell you that words can hurt too?

What we need to tell our children is that words do have power but once we know who we are, we have the power to control of those words will hurt us or not.

Children need to know the power of words so they don’t hurt other children and don’t become bullies.

If our children feel hurt by being hit by someone else or by hearing something they don’t like… acknowledge and validate their feelings. Give your child coping strategies to deal with those feelings.

Your child will be thankful to you. 💙

As parents and educators we need to create peaceful environments to support children's development. It can be at home, in early childhood centres or schools.

I see the environment as the third teacher —a setting designed to be not only functional but also beautiful and reflective of the child's learning and life (at home). It is the child's relationship with parent, teacher, and environment that ignites learning.

According to Edutopia.org, you should: "Choose colours that evoke positive, soothing feelings. Keep displays and decorations at the children’s eye level. Leave some blank space for children’s artwork displays and other blank space where little eyes can simply rest.

When possible, plants can improve the classroom as well as balance humidity levels. Having live plants offers the added benefit of giving children the opportunity to learn responsibility as they help care for plants. Attention to the overall feeling of the physical space can help create a calm learning environment."

“My son keeps breaking glasses, things, what should I do? He is so clumsy!”

Calm down, this is super normal in their development stage. Drag to the side and see what you can do to deal with these situations in the most respectful way.

Challenging behaviour in the classroom is disruptive and difficult for both teachers and children, just like it can be at home for parents and children. Positive Discipline has always been a passion of mine as I could see that this support not only reduces stress in the classroom, but also equips students with life skills beyond the curriculum.

I have been delivering professional developments to many childcare centres and working with a lot of teams proving tools to support children's behaviours.

Educational Workshops are a great way to empower educators in feeling confident to use a proactive, preventative approach to ensure all children receive the appropriate level of support needed.

It is underpinned by the philosophy that human beings thrive in predictable spaces where expectations are clear, new skills are taught, and positive behaviours are richly reinforced.
