What do you always want an extra generous helping of?

Tiny words with a BIG job! Prepositions often let

Tiny words with a BIG job! Prepositions often let us know the where or when.
✅“Put your jacket on the hook.”
✅“We’ll go after lunch.”
✅“Look under your bed.”
✅“It’s in your backpack.”
✅“Wash your hands before you eat.”
Prepositions are one of the goals I work on most frequently and they can make a big difference in a little ones ability to follow directions. A big win at home and in the classroom!
Be sure to save the cheat sheet on how these little words typically develop 🔖

Taking a moment to observe is powerful! When we ta

Taking a moment to observe is powerful! When we take time to watch what a child is doing—where they shine, where the struggle, what they gravitate towards—we get a clearer picture of where they might need support. We might also realize that we’ve made assumptions that just aren’t true.

Any surprises you’ve noticed with your little one lately?

Imitating is a critical pre-talking skill! I love

The members in my FB group have been asking about this recently. After a year at home with few playdates and no school, a lot of mamas are concerned that their child is reluctant to talk to anyone outside the family. Do you know anyone like this?

Here are a few tips to help you navigate new people:
⭐️ Littles THRIVE on routine and structure so it’s going to take time and patience for them to get comfortable with this new social world.

⭐️ Extroverts outnumber introverts about 2:1 and our culture tends to reward the extroverts. There are gifts to being an introvert! If you have a child that prefers to observe before jumping into new situations, be grateful (now and especially when they’re teens).

⭐️ Decrease speaking pressure by showing them what you hope they’ll do rather than demanding they do it (which is likely to get you into a standoff you can’t win). For instance, walk/carry your child over to a new person, but then do the talking (to your child): “I’m going to thank Mrs. Lewis for having us over today.” (to the new person) “Thanks so much for having us! We loved playing with all of your toys. I think the ball pit was our favorite.” By regularly giving them examples of what to say and how to interact, they’ll be better able to internalize the lesson. When their emotional state is too heightened, like when we force them to do the talking, they can’t absorb what we’re asking/teaching.

Questions or comments?

Feedback that keeps the focus on the effort (rathe

Feedback that keeps the focus on the effort (rather than the performance or child themselves) develops a growth mindset—the idea that we can improve with practice. A little lost, wondering what it looks like? Just swipe! (and bookmark)

I love watching the Olympics and while those athletes clearly have some innate talent working in their favor, they’d never get to where they are if it weren’t for persistence and hard work.
