One of my favourite holiday reminders from 💕
▪ ▪ ▪
A few perspectives to keep in mind over the busy holiday season:
Kids who are melting down over the holidays don’t mean: “I’m trying to ruin your fun”
“I’m trying to embarrass you”
“You are a bad parent”
“I am a bad child”
“I need you to meet my demands”
“I need to learn a lesson”
“I’m defiant and refuse to listen”
“I hate you”
Kids who are melting down over the holidays may mean: “I’m really overstimulated and need a break”
“There’s a lot of new people and I’m feeling overwhelmed”
“I need your attention”
“My Brain is feeling flooded right now with emotion, I cant think logically”
“I need you to take me to a safe space to let these feelings out”
“Please help me find a peaceful spot to hang out”
“I feel safe to have these feelings with you.”
“This has been a big day for me”
“I’m hungry, tired, or bored”
“I need you to be my calm right now”
“This is all new for me”
“I love you and feel safe with you”

🌈 Play is the most powerful learning tool our little ones have …

🌈 Unstructured, authentically child led play supports communication, social skills, physical skills, listening skills, emotional resilience, risk taking, confidence , imagination, cognitive development , boundary setting and creates HEALTHY, HAPPY little people!

🌈Children who feel safe, seen, heard and respected are masters of their own learning - we just need to learn how to tune in to their frequency and see the world through their eyes - right from those very first days!

🌈 Children are Not mini adults! Two year olds are NOT mini school children. Babies are NOT mini toddlers - each natural sequential stage needs to be honoured right in that exact moment

🌈Our Play & Wellbeing and Connected Parenting Practitioners are bringing the wanderlust back to childhood AND taking the stress & pressure of milestones out of parenthood - want to join them?

Happy Halloween 🎃

10/13/2021

This is a favorite fall activity we do each year! We create our own “Who Took The Pumpkin From The Pumpkin Patch” book customized with photos of the children and their names. We recite and rehearse the story and they LOVE looking at their photos. I used pictures of myself and my son here for privacy purposes, but every child and staff has their own page. Ultimately the story ends with our classroom pet, Daisy the golden retriever, who steals the pumpkin from the pumpkin patch (they all get a kick out of that)! You could easily make your own version with family and friends! If you want to use our template just drop your email and I’ll send it your way! 🎃📚
Happy reading,
-Mrs. Raquel

We'd rather they can tie shoes than recite the alphabet!

We’ve introduced the “cool tool” low temp glue gun to our students and they are LOVING it. We’ve been repurposing recycled bottle caps, popsicles sticks, cotton balls, paper towel rolls and other loose parts to make new creations!

This is a great article. It also explains why so much of our learning is PLAY BASED, through open ended projects and hand on experiences!

Why your child needs tactile learning experiences for greater academic performance.
