25.01.2022 Fill those cups!!

24.01.2022 "How'd you think to draw that?" "How'd you think to create that?" "How'd you think to use those materials together?" . Start to marvel at the workings of your c...hild's mind. Be curious. Wonder about the "how" rather than praising the "what."Watch how she responds.It's magic. . There's nothing that feels so good as when someone around us expresses interest in us:in how we think about things, in how we came up with our ideas, in where we want to go next. Imagine your boss asking, "Wow, how'd you think to complete the project that way? Tell me more" or your friend asking, "How'd you think to design your bedroom this way?" . When someone asks, "How'd you think to" they are letting us know that they want to learn more about US. We stay center stage, we stay as the protagonist of the story as we explain, say, all the research we did on Pinterest to come up with our bedroom design or how many paint colors we actually considered or a story about always wanting to have a brighter bedroom but being nervous to and then feeling bold & creative & going for it. . When someone asks us a question that indicates interest in our *process,* we feel that we have that person's full attention, that there's nothing this person wants more in that moment than for us to expand and share more about ourselves. This builds connection, self-worth, self-confidence, & a self-belief that proclaims, "The things inside me are interesting to myself & to other people." . Ironically, a judgment - even a positive one - shuts us down. Let's go back to the adult examples two paragraphs up. As compared to a "How'd you think to" question, imagine instead responses of: "Good job on that project" or "Beautiful new bedroom." . These don't feel bad, at all, but they definitely feel different than the question of interest.There's not much to say in response to a compliment, really, except for, "Thanks!" & then the conversation is over. By contrast, a question of "How'd you think to" opens up a conversation & leads to more sharing & connection. . Try this question today with your child.Ask,"How'd you think to" and come back here and tell us all what happens. - Dr. Becky Kennedy . . & @drbeckyathome See more

18.01.2022 Here are a few simple mindset shifts that would help you approach yourself and your kids with compassion when it comes to their big feelings! When we get cu...rious we can focus on getting to the need behind the behaviour and helping your child get their needs met in new healthy ways instead. Sometimes this is done through narrating, teaching, role play, building up your child’s calming toolbox, and more. We don’t need to use old school punishments to help change aggressive behaviour! How has being curious changed the way you parent? Share below! - Jess . . and caption above @ourmamavillage See more

17.01.2022 Aboriginal spirituality and connection to country can be shared by non-Aboriginal people. Of course there are some aspects of knowledge and culture that are sac...red and privy to certain members of that community only. But every Australian can learn from and embrace the fundamentals of an Aboriginal perspective when it comes to the land and its creatures. Below is a list of suggestions and a starting point for those wanting a deeper understanding of and connection to Aboriginal philosophy. Keep in mind that the below suggestions need to be catered to specific nations/dialects. 1. Learn some of the traditional dialect of your area. Many libraries and bookstores hold local dialect dictionaries and these days there is lots of information on line. There may even be Facebook groups for example which share information about local Aboriginal language. Language is key because it reveals so much about the culture and land that it comes from. Place names are a great place to start. Find out which in your local area are of Aboriginal origin and their meanings - each will reveal something about that place that will enhance your understanding of the local culture and environment. For example, when I think of Nollamarra- a Perth suburb- I know it means kangaroo paw and that this plant would have been in abundance in this area prior to colonisation. 2. Read, listen, watch. Check out Aboriginal films, documentaries and books- particularly those produced, written or heavily contributed to by Aboriginal people. They reveal so much about the values, characteristics, issues and spiritual outlook of FNP. 'Putuparri and the Rainmakers' is an excellent recent example. While this film may not relate to your community- it can't fail to enhance your understanding of Aboriginal people's spiritual connection to country. 3. Read, watch, listen to the Dreaming stories of your area- online searches, I-tunes and app searches, libraries and bookstores often have various local options. They will teach you about the animals of that region and the traditional knowledge of how they came to be and what they represent. They will also help you to understand the values, attitudes and social order of Aboriginal society. 4. Find out which significant sites are in your area- known camping grounds; birthing place; ancestral landforms; scar trees; caves and rock art etc and visit them. Learn as much as you can about the history and importance of the site before going and when you get there allow yourself time and privacy to engage with it and go back in time and feel what was there before. 5. Tread lightly and respectfully take nothing but memories and leave nothing but your footprints. Try to imagine the landscape 200 years ago and connect with that. 6. Enter an unfamiliar area as though entering a person's house for the first time. Enter with respect and caution. Take in your surroundings slowly and in detail and get a sense of the vibe and feeling of the area. 7. When you are near water- particularly before swimming- rub some sand between your palms and release it into the water and/or wipe your hand under your armpit and wash the perspiration off into the water and introduce yourself. Say your name and where you come from and acknowledge the traditional custodians and ask for their blessing to be on their land. Whether you are a spiritual person or not, small, traditional rituals can help you feel connected with country. 8. Talk to the animals. Warble at the magpies, laugh at the kookaburras- they will come closer for a chat and you can admire their personalities and beauty. 9. Look around at the tall native trees for signs of foot hole marks, scarring, native bees, possum scratches, grub holes, resins/sap etc. 10. Learn the plant medicine and food staples of the area, their local names and identify them when you can- prepare and try them. 11. Try your hand at crafting tools from natural resources- spear or tap sticks- there are many great YouTube videos that show you how it will give you a greater knowledge and appreciation of your environment and its many uses. 12. Try and find out which local customs and rules apply and observe them. For example on Noongar country we have a tradition of not whistling at night time. In some cultures it is still important not no say the name of a deceased person for a designated period; and there are traditional men's and women's areas. 13. Learn what the more common symbols used in art represent- many are consistent across the country- I.e water, camp site, person- while others such as animal tracks and bush tucker vary by region. This will allow you to interpret more Aboriginal art with a deeper insight and ability to interpret meaning from symbols. 14. Learn and mark the traditional seasons on your calendar, learn to say the names of each and what native foods are/were common that time of year. 15. Do a quick acknowledgment of country at family events/gatherings and when entering the area of another nation/tribe. Simply acknowledge the traditional people of that area and the fact that you are respectfully visiting their traditional land. I.e We acknowledge that we are now on Yamatji country and pay our respects to the custodians, ancestors and spirits of this land.

16.01.2022 Some things to think about... we are all friends at childcare.... are we?

14.01.2022 This is lovely...

14.01.2022 I have been bringing training to early childhood services for 13 years! Here is an updated list of topics for those who have been asking. :)

13.01.2022 Young children’s bodies need play. They need to feel, explore, touch, experiment, and develop through movement. This image is a powerful reminder not to push down our school curriculum too early. Let those little hands explore and develop through play.

12.01.2022 This is interesting....

12.01.2022 Page 13 of the EYLF is a treasure trove for thinking... These questions are potent for discussion and exploration to express how and why you engage in particular pedagogical approaches and the worldviews, theories and cosmologies that create them...

12.01.2022 We cannot forget about our Victorian colleagues. Please support them here...

10.01.2022 This will be amazing... and it’s free!!

10.01.2022 What kind of educational leader are you??

09.01.2022 Want happy babies who eat their peas?? Guitar playing at meal times!

08.01.2022 "When we help a child to feel secure, feel appreciated, feel that somebody is deeply, truly interested in me, by the way we just look, the way we just listen, we influence that child’s whole personality, the way that child sees life." - Magda Gerber

05.01.2022 This is perfect to share with your children about social distancing.

04.01.2022 This looks great!

03.01.2022 Dr. Christakis is one of the few scientists who have done experiments on the influence screens have on children under the age of two. It's a critical period for... human brain development. He says, If you're concerned about your teenager being addicted to their iphone, your infant is much more vulnerable and using the exact same device. It also may be surprise to some who use tablets as learning tools that many skills do not transfer into life skills. So what we do know about babies playing with iPads is that they don't transfer what they learn from the iPad to the real world, which is to say that if you give a child an app where they play with virtual Legos, virtual blocks, and stack them, and then put real blocks in front of them, they start all over. It's not a transferable skill. They don't transfer the knowledge from two dimensions to three.

02.01.2022 Does your face light up when your children enter the room? this is teaching.
