Introducing Tiny Town! Construction has been completed just in time for Oregon’s rainy season. The kiddos are LOVING this new imaginative dramatic play space!

Happy Father’s Day to all of our wonderful dads!

There are some children born into the world with the incredible life-gift of a strong will and an indomitable spirit. These children are often deeply misunderstood, and there are rows of books lining bookstore shelves with instructions about how to break their will, how to subdue their spirit, how to force their obedience. But our world suffers a tragic loss of leadership, passion, and insight when parents follow these harsh, punitive practices. Not only can we parent these gifted children with gentleness and respect, but the gifts we get in return are priceless.

Take a look at some of the common descriptions used when referring to the characteristics of a strong-willed child:

Demanding, Insistent, Stubborn, Bossy, Cocky, Difficult, Challenging, Fixated, Contrary, Rebellious, Defiant

Now look at some of the common characteristics of adults who are world leaders, CEO’s, entrepreneurs, innovators, world-class athletes:

Decisive, Determined, Persistent, Authoritative, Confident, Valiant, Gutsy, Committed, Resourceful, Nonconforming, Bold

Note that the characteristics are the same, but are negative when applied to a child and positive when applied to an adult.

Other characteristics of strong-willed children that coincide with adult leaders:

•highly creative and intelligent
•passionate and intense in their interests and beliefs
•insatiable need to know ‘why’
•typically learn by doing
•intense need to test the status quo
•highly perfection-oriented (often focused on expectations of themselves instead of others)
•tend to need high levels of validation
•intense need to be heard
•strong need for emotional safety
•often resistant to change unless they feel some control over the change
•often highly sensitive
•typically intensely focused on their latest project or interest
•conscientious/highly committed
•intensely independent

Maintaining a healthy parent/child relationship is vital as you work to find a balance between setting limits with your richly spirited child while not limiting their freedom to stretch and grow and develop into who they were created to be.

Fun little reminder that kiddos grow up fast enough as it is… take the time to enjoy every chapter!

Now introducing blog posts! This week, we did an original post about how daycare can benefit your child and their development. It is in the new blog section on our website, and will also be linked in our bio! Once a week, we will post an article of some sort, some written by us and others written by other great minds. If you have any questions or ideas you want to hear about in weeks to come, comment or shoot us a message! 💗

This is so true!
