25.01.2022 Please don’t call my child shy In a world of words it is very easy to label behaviour, and therefore people. These words and labels can stick for decades or even a lifetime! The words we use literally begin to shape the way our children interact with both their inner and outer worlds.... It is widely understood in the epi-genetics and neuroscience communities that from birth through to the age of 6/7 the mind of a child is wide open. For the first two years a child’s brain is in delta brain wave state (sleep state) and from two to six years a child’s brain is operating in theta brain wave state (hypnosis state). Basically children under six/seven are in a constant hypnotic trance state below consciousness (you might relate this to seeing a hypnotist making adults cluck like chickens in a room full of people this is how suggestible children can be). This means, small children do not / cannot filter and are like sponges, taking in everything around them through all their senses. The word shy in the dictionary is often used to describe someone as frightened... Most often it is used with more negative connotations, it is never used in an empowering or positive way. Stop it now! There are reasons why children stand back and wait before engaging - they are LISTENING to their INSTINCTS. They are OBSERVING. They are deciding WHEN they are ready HOW they want to move forward WHO they want (and are comfortable) engaging, connecting, playing with WHAT their next action will be It is a POSITIVE and EMPOWERING thing to be able to LISTEN and TRUST your INTUITIONS. Rather than being made to feel being shy is a bad or negative thing, and then doing something you don’t want to do! If we don’t teach this to our children now, and we start encouraging them to feel that waiting and observing and listening to their instincts is a bad thing or a weak way to be in the world, we will be wondering why as teenagers and adults they do as their friends do and make choices that aren’t for their highest good - and could potentially put them in a position to be harmed. CHILDREN ARE NOT SHY! They are INTELLIGENT, in touch with their INSTINCTS and should be ENCOURAGED and TRUSTED to make decisions around when, how, who, where, what and why they do as they do. Please stop the label of shy now. Equally, it’s important we don’t try to coerce, convince or force children (whether or not it's a new or familiar environment and/or people) when they are in this state of observation and internal decision making.

23.01.2022 Kids and adults need time in nature each and every day
23.01.2022 "While time-outs were a leap forward from corporal methods such as spanking, they rely on a false assumption: that all behaviors are motivated and incentivized ...and thus susceptible to teaching the child a lesson. This is a false assumption because many childhood behaviors are not the result of deliberate malintent or misbehavior, but are instinctive responses to stress. When children can’t connect to caring adults to reduce their subconscious perception of threat, they experience stress responses, which often show up as behavioral challenges." - Mona Delahooke, Ph.D. See more
20.01.2022 The children are our future, how we talk and care for them will be reflected through them and into the world https://educateinspirechange.org//if-we-behave-in-these-/
20.01.2022 "Only a baby knows just the way his joints should align, notes Carol Pinto, a longtime RIE Associate and Feldenkrais practitioner In other words, when it comes to motor development, babies are self-learners they really do know best. By holding a baby’s hands to mobilize him, position and reposition his body, we hinder his natural ability to find balance, sense spatial relations, and judge what he can and cannot do. Better to trust our babies to walk when they are ready, and by doing so encourage mental and physical awareness...

13.01.2022 The power of reframing our language by changing the content or context gives us the power to change the meaning - such a powerful language practice for ourselves and our kids This is a great post from one of my favourites, Janet Lansbury. *... * * * #consciousparenting #holisticparenting #gentleparenting #language #reframing #spiritualparenting #naturalparenting #awakenedparenting #familylife #healthykids #happykids #family #motherhood #fatherhood #natural #healthy #lifestyle #consciousness #healthyhappyholistickids #daliceandmark #parenting #ethicalliving #naturalliving See more

08.01.2022 Today’s fun in the Sun Waterfalls and boat races
07.01.2022 We have all had a lot of adjustments, changes and uncertainty to process over the past couple months. These changes can be a lot for kids who are still developing in every way.
05.01.2022 Sometimes the simplest things can create hours of fun and creativity. Today was a mummy day and we made play dough together, followed by hours of play. Ingredients:... 1/2 cup cornstarch 1 cup baking soda 3/4 cup water optional: 2-3 drops of essential oils are fun to add in (Miss 4 chose grapefruit and Miss 2 chose orange from The link to the recipe (found with a quick google search) we used is in the comments.
