Week 1 kicking off our new version of preschool! We hope this will be a way we can bridge our connection to the children and keep them engaged and learning while they are at home. Families came one at a time to pick up this weeks learning "took kits." It was so fun to do window waves and see their sweet chalk messages along the sidewalk. Our hearts are full.

You can't expect kids to do everything simply because you, as a parent, "say so." They want and deserve explanations as much as adults do. If we don't take time to explain, kids will begin to wonder about our values and motives and whether they have any basis. Parents who reason with their kids allow them to understand and learn in a nonjudgmental way.

Make your expectations clear. If there is a problem, describe it, express your feelings, and invite your child to work on a solution with you. Be sure to include consequences. Make suggestions and offer choices. Be open to your child's suggestions as well. Negotiate. Kids who participate in decisions are more motivated to carry them out.

Discipline is necessary for every household. The goal of discipline is to help kids choose acceptable behaviors and learn self-control. They may test the limits you establish for them, but they need those limits to grow into responsible adults.

Establishing house rules helps kids understand your expectations and develop self-control. Some rules might include: no TV until homework is done, and no hitting, name-calling, or hurtful teasing allowed.

You might want to have a system in place: one warning, followed by consequences such as a "time out" or loss of privileges. A common mistake parents make is failure to follow through with the consequences. You can't discipline kids for talking back one day and ignore it the next. Being consistent teaches what you expect.

Have you ever stopped to think about how many times you react negatively to your kids on a given day? You may find yourself criticizing far more often than complimenting. How would you feel about a boss who treated you with that much negative guidance, even if it was well-intentioned?

The more effective approach is to catch kids doing something right: "You made your bed without being asked โ€” that's terrific!" or "I was watching you play with your sister and you were very patient." These statements will do more to encourage good behavior over the long run than repeated scoldings.

Make a point of finding something to praise every day. Be generous with rewards โ€” your love, hugs, and compliments can work wonders and are often reward enough. Soon you will find you are "growing" more of the behavior you would like to see.

For me, this quote perfectly sums up the rewards, importance, and purpose of a profession in education, especially one in early childhood.

A teacher has the power to impact a childโ€™s life forever. And in a multitude of ways! One of the best ways to impact a child is to instill and foster a love of learning by igniting and nurturing a flame that will burn for a lifetime. And parents, YOU are your childโ€™s first teacher!

Here is a fun alphabet game you can enjoy with the whole family! You can even get older siblings involved too!

Write out each letter of the alphabet on a sheet of paper. Cut them out in squares and tape them to your clothes and body. If you have Post It Notes at home, they can be used too! Call out a letter for your child to peel off of you until they are all gone.

In preparation for St. Patrick's Day, our Wee Little Leprechauns were immersed in an array of activities related to the traditional Irish celebration of St.Patrick's Day. We have been making Leprechaun traps, learning about rainbows, and creating green pepper shamrock stamps. We used peppers cut in half. The children painted half the pepper and used it to make prints on their page, creating shamrock shapes.

As parents, you want to do everything you can to help your children grow into loving, confident adults. When you sing and make music as a family, you gain a whole new way to communicate and form everlasting, joyful memories. Plus, actively making music nurtures your childโ€™s creativity, self-expression, and confidence and supports their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. The best news? It doesnโ€™t require special skills or โ€œmusical talent,โ€ just a love of music and a desire to have fun!

The impact of singing and making music with your child is immeasurable, and the rewards of this simple act will help us make the world a much better place. So, sing a song, grab a drum (or a plastic bowl and wooden spoon!) and join us in celebrating Sing with Your Child Month.
