What are your inclusive Christmas successes?

Love this story:

'What every parent wants': Calgary mall hosts quiet Santa photoshoots for neurodiverse kids | CBC News Autism Calgary has been organizing holiday events for children with sensory sensitivities for more than a decade.

Love this! Something quiet for an alternative for Halloween.

Our popular craft evening for Halloween is coming up next Monday, 5-7pm in church.
We offer an alternative to the 'zombies and witches' of modern Halloween, with a focus on light and hope (Halloween is traditionally a time to celebrate the saints).
There are various easy craft activities such as decorating lanterns as well as cakes and hot chocolate. It's free and if you will be out trick or treating with young children, why not pop in?

Creativity comes from freedom to play and explore

Don’t come for me! This isn’t about homeschool vs traditional schooling. It’s about our entire education model and the need for reform or a change. I didn’t initially choose to homeschool because I felt the traditional school system was bad, it was simply how I was raised by my parents — taught at home from k-12 and it came naturally to me to homeschool my son from the onset. But as I explored various teaching methods, I realized many fall short in nurturing creativity. So, how can we reform our education system? It’s complex, but one thing’s certain: kids need room for curiosity, creativity, and experimentation, not just memorization. Change is overdue.
