Children’s Choice Home Daycare

I was sitting here contemplating what constitutes a mental health day?

During a conversation with a childcare colleague today, we debated the responsibility for promoting mental health in young children. While she asserted that parents are primarily accountable, I suggested that childcare providers also have a crucial role in supporting children's mental wellbeing on a daily basis. What are your thoughts on this topic, and what suggestions do you have to share?

Parenting Tip # 23

Saying kind words to your child or children can help build their confidence.
Here are a few things you can say.

1. I am so proud of you
2. You are such a quick learner
3.You are amazing
4.Thanks for working so hard

Remember children rely on your feedback
Make it meaningful and positive.

I have been a Family Child Care Provider for going on 39 years now, and during this time I have had to attend and do training about best practices when it comes to the children in my care. It’s always the same thing,if you have a child doing this or saying that (research shows you should do this or say that ) But where is this research being done, and what are the demographics? Not all children are the same, not all children are raised the same
We as teachers , parents , counselors etc
Need to think about these things each and everyday, one size does not fit all (most ) each child is an individual with feelings and emotions let’s remember this and treat them as such.

It takes SO much strength for a mother to admit that she is struggling. Instead of invalidating her struggles, let her know that she can lean on you for support. You’re doing great mama 🩶 • • • • • #motherhoodintheraw #motherhoodunfiltered #youareenough #youarenotalone #motherhoodquotes #parentingquotes #mumssupportingmums #honestlymothering #motherhoodlens #mumslife #honestlyparents #momtruth #honestmom #honestmotherhood #momlife #momstruggles #newmomlife
