Play used to have a bad reputation. There were false misconceptions that when a child plays, he is not learning. There were false misconceptions that play and learning cannot go hand-in-hand.
The modern day parents and educators though, have come to understand that play in fact supports, enhances and empowers learning in young children. This has been consistently supported through various studies and researches.
Playful learning (or play-based learning) pedagogies naturally align with the characteristics that research in the science of learning suggests help humans learn.
In short, when play is incorporated into learning or when learning is made fun and playful, we learn better and absorb content and knowledge better! And this is especially critical in the early childhood setting.

Sharing a snapshot of our Signature Positive Parenting Academy curriculum.

2. Providing very detailed and comprehensive handbook and workbook for you, as well as a set of tool cards that summarize the key concepts and strategies which you will learn throughout the academy.

Everyone has a love tank to be filled up, isn’t it?
Every “I love you” and a hug and kiss from your loved one will make you feel good.
Every positive word of affirmation said to you throughout the day will make you feel good.
When your loved ones or friends lend you a listening ear for you to complain and whine and rant to, it makes you feel better.
Every quality time you get to spend together with your loved ones and/or people whose company you enjoy, makes you feel better.
Our children are no different.
When their love tanks are empty, they tend to exhibit more negative behavior because they’re crying out for love and attention.
So fill up your child’s love tank ❤️

Try this next time and I guarantee you, you will be able to defuse a potential tantrum or meltdown!
Adding playfulness to transitions (for eg going to shower, leaving the playground, getting ready for bed) turns off the alarm in your child’s brain and prevents it from becoming a trigger for tantrums or meltdowns.
By adding playfulness, you can also turn what would otherwise be a power struggle with your child into a meaningful experience.

Sharing this personal story to reiterate the importance and power of an apology from the parent to a child.
I also wanted to share this to show that I have bad days and moments as a parent as well where I lose my patience and temper at my children.
While ideally we want to advocate for no yelling and no screaming as positive parenting coaches, in reality, it is not possible. Yelling and screaming WILL happen. Because we are humans too, we have emotions and we have our fair share of bad days.
Yelling and screaming do not make you a bad parent. Yelling and screaming do not mean that you’ve failed as a positive parent.
What matters is how you respond after that. Use ACT to guide you:
Apologize
Connect (hugs, kisses, ‘I love you’s, doing an activity together)
Talk it out (how can you and the child do better next time)
And importantly, move on from it ❤️

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬.

Dinner conversation was a true story. I overheard it at a restaurant during one of my recent travels. And I found so many parallels between this story and what some parents are doing today on social media.
It is NEVER acceptable for a loved one to do this to you - photographing and videoing you at your worst and uploading it on social media.
𝐒𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐰, 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧?
Sharing photos and videos of your child throwing tantrums on social media is not being real. It shows a lack of respect, empathy and consideration towards the child.
I've always felt strongly against this.
And today I finally said it.
𝐒𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬, 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐩𝐬𝐞𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐦,
𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞,
𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐢𝐦 𝐨𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐡𝐮𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝.
That's what your child really needs.
That's what anyone would need.

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝'𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫.
Any behaviours or actions or values which you want your child to exhibit, you have to model them for him or her first.
Don't want your child to yell at you when she's angry? Then don't yell at her when you're angry.
Don't want your child to hit her friends? Then don't s***k her.
Don't want your child to talk rudely to you? Then be respectful when talking to her too.
Don't want your child to whine for screen time all the time? Then put away your devices whenever you can.
Children mimic the adults around them all the time. The best way to teach a child, is to model it.
And the best way to model it, is to work on yourself first.
‼️ Remember, you are your child's mirror.
