Confidence. Self-Worth. Your overall opinion of yourself. It’s intertwined with how your child feels about their abilities and limitations. As they learn, they measure their personal value.

Can we positively influence them, other than through praise and encouragement? Affection and affirmation?

Some strategies are proven to work. Add these to your toolbox!

👩‍🏫 Teach them to try and not worry about failing so that the experience is of value to them.

Give them the ability to overcome challenges and deal with setbacks by working through failure without disapproval, but rather with curiosity, grace, and acceptance. They learn to seek experience, not reward or recognition.

BONUS ⏳ 𝒯𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝓁𝑒𝒶𝓋𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝒾𝓇 𝒸𝑜𝓂𝒻𝑜𝓇𝓉 𝓏𝑜𝓃𝑒, 𝒹𝒾𝓈𝒸𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓇 𝓃𝑒𝓌 𝓈𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁𝓈, 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒹𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓁𝑜𝓅 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓅𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑒𝓃𝒸𝑒 𝓉𝑜 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝓀 𝑜𝓃 𝒾𝓂𝓅𝓇𝑜𝓋𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓂.

💞 Intentionally model for them, so they adopt these for themselves.

Talk through issues with tolerance and compassion. Your self-expression becomes their self-talk; allow this to mirror the self-love you want them to develop one day. After all, you are your child’s greatest teacher, and they are yours.

BONUS 👀 𝒯𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝓈𝑒𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓅𝑒𝓇𝓈𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓊𝑔𝒽 𝓅𝓇𝑜𝒷𝓁𝑒𝓂𝓈 𝓌𝒽𝑒𝓃 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓇𝑒 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓂; 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒𝓈 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓂 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝑜𝓅𝓅𝑜𝓇𝓉𝓊𝓃𝒾𝓉𝓎 𝓉𝑜 𝓈𝓊𝓅𝓅𝑜𝓇𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊, 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝑜𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓇𝓈.

👍🏽 Praise for effort, not results, so that the process of learning brings them gratification.

Teach your child to understand the connection between the effort they put into an activity and their results. They’ll be more apt to put in the time it takes to succeed, especially at things that don’t come naturally to them.

BONUS🛠️ 𝒲𝒽𝑒𝓃 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓊𝓈𝑒 #𝓅𝑜𝓈𝒾𝓉𝒾𝓋𝑒𝓇𝑒𝒾𝓃𝒻𝑜𝓇𝒸𝑒𝓂𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝓉𝑜 𝑒𝓂𝓅𝒽𝒶𝓈𝒾𝓏𝑒 𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝓅𝓇𝑜𝓊𝒹 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶𝓇𝑒 𝑜𝒻 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝒾𝓇 𝒽𝒶𝓇𝒹 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝓀, 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈 𝒷𝓊𝒾𝓁𝒹𝓈 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝒾𝓇 𝒸𝑜𝓃𝒻𝒾𝒹𝑒𝓃𝒸𝑒.

"In play, children learn how to learn.” – O. Fred Donaldson, Child Specialist

"Play is the work of the child.” – Maria Montessori, Founder of the Montessori Method

“Necessity may be the mother of invention, but play is certainly the father.” – Roger Von Oech, Author

"I shouldn't have to defend play for children anymore than I should have to defend their eating, sleeping, and breathing." – Rae Pica, Early Childhood Expert

“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.” – Carl Jung, Psychiatrist & Psychoanalyst

“Play is our brain’s favorite way of learning.” – Diane Ackerman, Poet

👨‍🔬So yes, so many brilliant minds -even Einstein- had it right!

When we watch our kiddos out in the yard or digging through the costume box, it’s easy to think, “it’s just playing.” But knew better.

🦸When your little ones are adventuring as knights or superheroes, they’re exploring their imaginations and getting to grips with structures.

🏢When your tot builds a tower with blocks and smashes it down, they’re exploring cause and effect and .

✈️As your little adventurer goes down the slide sitting, then lying down, then face first, they’re learning to assess risk and play with .

🐛As they muck about in the mud kitchen, they connect with nature, meet minibeasts, and learn that when you mix water with dirt, it makes a wonderful mud pie!

And Albert wasn’t alone. We couldn’t agree more with his thoughts about the power of play.

What wonderful discoveries has your child made while at play?



https://mhousechildcare.com/

🎨Ready for some affordable, easy fun with this DIY ?

🥰Little ones love getting creative with those tasty Fruit Loops or Cheerios (so do adults… who are we kidding?) and making some fabulous jewelry to show their friends if it lasts that long!

🎉Fruit Loop” cereal necklaces are kind of a right of passage as a child.

👉Threading Develops Hand-Eye Coordination & Builds Hand Muscles

If your little one has mastered this using their fingers and working their pincer grip, throw them a curveball. Ask them to try toddler tweezers instead!

👉It’s An Excellent Opportunity To Work On Color Sorting Or Patterning

Your child could first sort the Fruit Loops by color and then thread a color at a time onto the string to make it a color block necklace.

Or it could be an opportunity for patterning. Make it as simple (ABAB) or as complicated (ABCD, AABBCCDD) as your child is able to understand.

This is such a classic fine motor activity for , , and . These activities work on the little movements that kids need. They'll help strengthen those little muscles to get them ready to write!

We love when play is learning, and learning is play!

It’s what we do best. 😊

🤯 The very thought of “child-led” activities might conjure up a parent’s worst nightmare: scenes of chaos! Hehe

But it’s less about putting kiddos in charge, say, by letting them eat ice cream for breakfast and paint their oatmeal on the wall…

..and more about supporting little learners as they explore their interests to leverage the natural curiosity have.

instills a love of discovery and helps you:

👍 Set Boundaries & Teach A Genuine Sense Of Responsibility:
Children thrive when they know the limits. When we establish the rules together and discuss the values of the classroom or household, they understand and take ownership of their community or family . Then they are the ones reminding us of the rules!

⌛ Develop Their Social Skills Organically With “Free Play” Time:
When the daily routine has space for children to choose what they want to do, or “free play,” there are more opportunities to socialize, share happy moments with you or other children, and progress at a task that interests them either independently or within a group.

👀 Decide When To Step In Or Step Back To Assist In Their Learning:
When or take the lead, we can choose when to intervene in their play. We can step in with suggestions and encouragement or step back. They can work at a task with or without observation; both experiences are crucial for their development!

Ultimately, we aim to empower your child and support them in the ways they need, which change moment by moment and pretty much every day.

🌍Child-led learning is a beautiful way to see the world because, when we see the world the way they do, we can cultivate their environment -and ourselves- to inspire their full potential.

🔬Ready to create this magical and mesmerizing science experiment at home?

👩‍🔬 Discover the science behind ᴅᴇɴꜱɪᴛʏ with your little one in this experiment that requires only 4 items!

Here’s everything you need:

ᴍᴀᴛᴇʀɪᴀʟꜱ
Several drinking glasses
Water
Vegetable oil
Liquid food coloring

ʜᴏᴡ ᴛᴏ ᴅᴏ ɪᴛ
Ask your child what they think will happen when they mix the oil and water together. This builds their critical thinking skills and channels their inner scientist!

Let your child pour about ½ cup of oil into a drinking glass. This is perfect for helping them learn their measurements.

Tell your child to put 1 drop of each color of food coloring into the glass which requires focus and precision. Then mix well to combine the oil and food coloring fully. might need a little help, and will love getting hands-on with the mixing.

Let your child pour the mixture into a glass filled with water.

Sit back and watch the magic happen!

Now is the perfect time to talk about ᴅᴇɴꜱɪᴛʏ! Explain to your child that less dense materials float and more dense materials are heavier, so they sink. Ask which is heavier or denser… the oil or food coloring?
(HINT: The answer is the water-based food coloring, which sank through the less dense oil, which stayed afloat up top. Boy, do we love science!)

🎉And now you can both celebrate your successful science exploration. Way to go!

✅ As a ʙᴏɴᴜꜱ, don’t be shy to try the experiment in different shaped glasses for another cool show!

Even before they’re 1, your smart kiddo is developing the skills they need for .

That’s right, stacking blocks leads to writing. Amazing!

At every stage, there are fun activities that can help strengthen those to support your little one in their journey. Let’s explore:

𝟏𝟎 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐇𝐒: 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐑 𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐏
Your tiny tot can pick up and hold an object between thumb and forefinger. We practice by:
🥦Letting them self-feed: picking up tasty chunks of broccoli or pieces of bread is a great incentive to work that hand-eye coordination and pinching technique.
🤏Picking up and stacking blocks and smaller bricks is great for working that more defined grip.

𝟏𝟐-𝟏𝟓 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐇𝐒: 𝐏𝐀𝐋𝐌𝐀𝐑 𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐏
Young toddlers wrap their fist around a long thin object with their thumb on top. When they master this grasp, they strengthen the deep muscles of their hands (the palmar arches) to hold things tight.
🤜Play Doh, and other super-squishable materials strengthen their squeeze.
🖍️Lots of access to colorful crayons and paper gets kids excited about scribbling.

𝟐-𝟑 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒: 𝐃𝐈𝐆𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐋 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐏
Your child now grasps an object with all their fingers pointing downwards. They’re using lots of arm movements too, but that’s OK, as we practice:
🍴Self-feeding with utensils to engage hand-eye coordination as they use their grip.
✏️Scribbling with smaller pencils or pieces of chalk to engage those finger muscles too.

𝟑-𝟒 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒: 𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐈𝐋 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐏
Kiddos use a 4- and then 3-finger grip to hold the pencil and move it with their whole arm. We work on:
📄Tracing and following shapes and lines for stability.
🤌Manipulating with clothespins, tweezers, and tongs to get thumb, index, and middle finger working together.

𝟓-𝟔 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒: 𝐃𝐘𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐂 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐏𝐎𝐃 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐏
Your preschooler uses the tips of their thumb, index, and middle finger to move the pencil on the page. Jackpot! Now’s the time for:
✍️LOTS OF PRACTICE!

Luckily, we’ve got that covered!

Wait Til They Discover How LOVED They Are

‘Sensitive periods’ often conjures up thoughts of adult life, but it actually refers to the 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 in a child's life for learning new things and developing new skills in a certain area.

Recognizing sensitive periods in your child’s development is easier than you think!

Have you ever wondered why your child wants to repeat the same song or story over and over? It may drive you crazy, but these are classic symptoms of sensitivity!

Other characteristics of sensitive periods are:

🎭mimicking what they see and hear
🔎intense concentration on a particular task
💓repeating the same behavior over and over

Interrupting a child while they are in the middle of an intense sensitive period can result in a powerful emotional response such as a tantrum.

Break a routine that a child is attempting to understand and master, such as getting dressed, bath time or bedtime, and some children will emotionally fall apart.

The ‘terrible twos’ for example, are often an exaggerated reaction to small disruptions in order that may not be perceived by adults.

As we are sensitive to your child's sensitive periods. 😉

We allow them to progress at their own pace.

We provide them with a supportive learning environment that provides stimulus appropriate to their stage of development.

By respecting their individual interests and passions of your child...

🏆We develop their strengths at the optimal moment
💪We support them through any challenges they are experiencing
🤩And we help them see how special they are.

How do we support children in being model citizens of the world?

🧠 Your clever picks up on all of our actions. Modelling positive behavior is what we do best! 😉

Yet still… how can your child learn to love more? When parenting is, well, a lot of sacrifice and often about what your child needs.

✅ Self-Care Is Crucial To Model, Here’s Why

When you demonstrate that you care about your physical and with healthy routines and positive self-talk, you infuse our child’s mind and spirit with what it means to love -and take care- of themselves.

✅ How We Care For Our Animals Matters Too

When you’re comfortable around animals and show them compassion, your little one learns that we love all living beings. Following your lead, they learn responsibility and skills by caring for animal friends.

✅ Learning To Love The World We Live In

When you make an effort to or make decisions that support the environment, your child quickly learns the importance of respecting and taking care of this planet we all call home.

🔨 As you model the behavior you want to see, and talk about why you’re doing what you’re doing, your tot develops the tools that will serve them in the future.

🤗What positive behavior do you model at home with your kids?
