When the family you adore has to move on…

I once had a family in my care that I just absolutely loved. I had three of their children over the years, and we built something really special.

They were the kind of family that paid on time. Picked up on time. Respected every policy without question. But more than that, they showed me appreciation. All the time. And that means everything when you’re doing this kind of work.

We watched each other’s lives change. I watched their babies grow up. They trusted me year after year. And when it came time for them to move on… my heart broke a little.

Because this is the part of child care that no one really talks about. The relationships we build — the deep trust, the connection, the bond — it’s real. It’s family.

And when they leave, even for the best reasons, it hurts.
It’s a beautiful heartbreak.

And I wouldn’t trade it for anything. 💛

Look at the differences between a typical younger child’s hand (left) and a typical older child's hand (right). I have parents asking regularly why their preschool aged child isn’t able to write yet. This is why! Their hands (and brains) are still developing and are not fully formed. So what should they be doing to support this? PLAY!! Playdough, colouring, cutting, gluing, playing outside, digging in dirt, sensory play, dress up play, science experiments, beading, puzzles, throwing balls, etc. All of these things help their hands develop. When they are physically ready to write, they will! No need to rush them, they will show you when they are ready!
