As our children learn behaviours and wire their brain, positive affirmations are very effective in nurturing emotional wellbeing in childhood. Practicing positive affirmations will support your child to have a positive mindset and achieve goals. It’s a good exercise to do with children when they are heightened to calm them down. Introducing clapping out the words or deep breaths in between is a great way to help your child calm down. Positive affirmations work for adults too.
At the end of this week we will be adding positive affirmation resources to the website.

nurture_with_play K.I.D. (Kid Inventor’s Day) is held annually on the 17th of January. The event celebrates items invented by children. The date of the 17th of January was chosen because it is the birthday of Benjamin Franklin.
Recently my daughter and I were watching Shark tank re runs. My daughter was wowed by Kiowa Kavovit, a six-year-old girl who gave a pitch together with her father to the investors about Boo Boo Goo.
As a Mother and Teacher, I encourage children to be creative thinkers if they put their minds to it and focus, they too, like Kiowa, can be inventors. Play plays a crucial role in helping children develop their brains as play fosters critical skills, understanding, and dispositions, which are essential for your child’s lifelong learning and well-being.
Research demonstrates that developmentally appropriate play with parents and peers is a singular opportunity to promote the social-emotional, cognitive, language, and self-regulation skills that build executive function and a prosocial brain. Furthermore, play supports forming safe, stable, and nurturing relationships with all caregivers that children need to thrive.
“Imagination is the golden-eyed monster that never sleeps. It must be fed; it cannot be ignored” – Patricia A. McKillip
