18.01.2022 Yes, its true that Kindergarten has transformed into First Grade. Yes, children will need to learn academics, listen and sit still. But that certainly doesnt ...mean that these lessons should be straight-jacketed onto them in the toddler and preschool years. In fact, the funneling down of structured learning is all the more reason to let children play while they can. We must fiercely protect this precious, ever shrinking window of time for our children. More in Dont Let Your Preschoolers Forget How to Play: https://www.janetlansbury.com//dont-let-your-preschoolers/ Play is enough. Play is enough. Play is enough. This should be our educational mantra for the first 5 years.

16.01.2022 Happy Monday! Dont forget to join our Oral health recycling efforts. Amazing art work in pre prep painting native wildlife. Our kindy seedlings created this impressive volcano while exploring volcanoes and the earth. Thank you Ethan for building our fruit shop! #painting #volcano #artwork #seedlings&co #calamvale #construction

15.01.2022 You know that feeling, when theres a storm brewing. Tempers feel fragile, like theyre wafer thin and ready to shatter with a wrong look from you or a word or ...when you take take a deep breath out instead of a deep breath in. When the shattering happens and the emotion is big, there is little you can do until theyre ready. Your gentle words might inflame. Your attempts to walk away might so the same thing. And all the while, your own anger, sadness or confusion might be lighting up. Theres a reason for this. Teens read emotion from the amygdala - and amygdalae have a way of recruiting other amygdalae to the battle. It happens this way for all of us. The amygdala is the fight or flight response part of the brain and when its on, it will tend to interpret neutral emotion more often as negative. When it reads a threat, it will organise to fight it (argue, yell) or flee it (ignore, be silent or sullen). Its why your gentle words might be read as something different - that youre angry, you dont care, you dont get it, or that youre not taking them seriously. In that space, there will be little to do but wait until theyre ready to step out of the ring. Geez this can be tough though. To do this, let them know youre there, without trying to change them in that moment, I know youre really angry at me/sad/scared. I want to understand whats happening for you but I cant do that while youre yelling at me. Im here for you when youre ready to talk. When we respond with empathy - when children feel felt - they get the sense that were there with them, which helps big emotions become more manageable and safer to let go of. When our empathy systems are on, we are open, engaged and often without realising it, we have one hand on the amygdala, soothing it gently to calm. Children experience us as a solid, safe and available presence - eventually. Neither joining in the fight nor waiting it out is easy. Both will take the strength of a warrior. Some days we might cycle through both by breakfast (hand goes up), but thats the thing about adolescence - its a time of learning and growth for all of us.

15.01.2022 On episode 2 of Parenting In Perspective I spoke with Professor Wendy Grolnick about her work in the psychology of parental control.

12.01.2022 Free play is one of the most powerful learning tools around, and possibly the only one which grows our kids sense of independence, bravery, social skills and p...hysical literacy all in one. Children are beginning formalised learning anywhere between 12 months and two years before the children of 25 years ago. Interestingly, the educational outcomes of Australian children has been declining as the schoolification process, especially the benchmark testing focus initiated by NAPLAN, continues to embed itself in the Australian educational landscape. https://tinyurl.com/yxq2ub92

03.01.2022 "So, the only way to teach children to prioritize empathy is to make this choice ourselves where it matters most, which is in our day-to-day interactions with t...hem. This isnt easy during the tumultuous toddler years or when our childs behavior is aggressive or defiant or otherwise irritating, but with consistent practice and an understanding of developmental expectations, empathy can become our default perspective and consistent message.
