24.01.2022 What Love means to 4-8 year old kids?? Slow down for three minutes to read this. A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-...olds, What does love mean? The answers they got were broader, deeper, and more profound than anyone could have ever imagined ! When my grandmother got arthritis , she couldnt bend over and paint her toenails anymore.. So my grandfather does it for her all the time , even when his hands got arthritis too. Thats love. Rebecca- age 8 When someone loves you , the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth. Billy - age 4 Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other. Karl - age 5 Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs. Chrissy - age 6 Love is what makes you smile when youre tired. Terri - age 4 Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him , to make sure the taste is OK. Danny - age 8 Love is whats in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and just listen. Bobby - age 7 (Wow!) If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate. Nikka - age 6 (we need a few million more Nikkas on this planet) Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday. Noelle - age 7 Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well. Tommy - age 6 During my piano recital , I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasnt scared anymore. Cindy - age 8 My mommy loves me more than anybody. You dont see anyone else kissing me to sleep at night. Clare - age 6 Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken. Elaine-age 5 Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford. Chris - age 7 Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day. Mary Ann - age 4 I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new ones. Lauren - age 4 When you love somebody , your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you. (what an image) Karen - age 7 Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesnt think its gross.. Mark - age 6 You really shouldnt say I love you unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget. Jessica - age 8 And the final one: The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentlemans yard , climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, Nothing, I just helped him cry. Now, take 60 seconds and Post this for other to see. And then be a child again today!

23.01.2022 Sensory Processing is more than just a "buzzword". Are you lost in a sea of information overload? Do you find yourself just wishing you had one resource with ...all the facts about sensory processing in one place? Now you can grab this printable of 100 Facts about Sensory Processing so you can advocate for your child and have shareable resources at your fingertips>>https://sensoryprocessing101.com/100-sensory-facts/

23.01.2022 When little people are overwhelmed by BIG emotions, its our job to share our calm, not join their chaos. -L.R.Knost You can let them know that you will a...lways love them even when they make mistakes or when they have hard feelings. You can tell them that its completely normal to feel angry, sad, and frustrated, and that having those feelings doesnt make them a burden or unlovable, it makes them human. Letting kids know theyre loved unconditionally does not mean we move boundaries, in fact, quite the opposite. I love you so much that I will hold this boundary to keep you safe or healthy. Remember that this isnt about shame. You get to try again tomorrow. What if tomorrow you told them you loved them after a time where they hadnt just done something kind or completed a task, but rather when they were breaking down? -Alyssa Blask Campbell @seed.and.sew Peaceful parenting resources: http://t.co/T8goym3P6Z #thegentleparent #parenting #children #life #kindness #Jesuslover #humanlover #feminism #socialjustice #equality #globalresponsibility #humanity #peace #sexualassaultsurvivor #cancer #NETcancer #cancerwarrior #books #coffee #quote #LRKnost www.LRKnost.com .

16.01.2022 Wise advice from the wonderful Maggie Dent.

16.01.2022 "To the other adults in the room this is fine. A grown man looms behind my three-year-old daughter. Occasionally he will poke or tickle her and she responds by ...shrinking. Smaller and smaller with each unwanted advance. I imagine her trying to become slight enough to slip out of her booster seat and slide under the table. When my mother views this scene, she sees playful taunting. A grandfather engaging with his granddaughter. Mae. My tone cuts through the din of a familiar family gathering together. She does not look at me. Mae. I start again. You can tell him no Mae. If this isnt okay you could say something like, Papa, please back upI would like some space for my body. As I say the words, my step-father, the bulldog, leans in a little closer, hovering just above her head. His tenebrous grin taunts me as my daughter accordions her 30-pound frame hoping to escape his tickles and hot breath. I repeat myself with a little more force. She finally peeks up at me. Mamacan you say it? Surprise. A three-year-old-girl doesnt feel comfortable defending herself against a grown man. A man that has stated he loves and cares for her over and over again, and yet, stands here showing zero concern for her wishes about her own body. I ready myself for battle. Papa! Please back up! Mae would like some space for her body. My voice is firm but cheerful. He does not move. Papa. I should not have to ask you twice. Please back up. Mae is uncomfortable. Oh, relax, he says, ruffling her wispy blonde hair. The patriarchy stands, patronizing me in my own damn kitchen. Were just playin. His southern drawl does not charm me. No. You were playing. She was not. Shes made it clear that she would like some space, now please back up. I can play how I want with her. He says, straightening his posture. My chest tightens. The sun-bleached hairs on my arms stand at attention as this man, who has been my father figure for more than three decades, enters the battle ring. No. No, you cannot play however you want with her. Its not okay to have fun with someone who does not want to play. He opens his mouth to respond but my rage is palpable through my measured response. I wonder if my daughter can feel it. I hope she can. He retreats to the living room and my daughter stares up at me. Her eyes, a starburst of blue and hazel, shine with admiration for her mama. The dragon has been slayed (for now). My own mother is silent. She refuses to make eye contact with me. This is the same woman who shut me down when I told her about a sexual assault I had recently come to acknowledge. This is the same woman who was abducted by a carful of strangers as she walked home one night. She fought and screamed until they kicked her out. Speeding away, they ran over her ankle and left her with a lifetime of physical and emotional pain. This is the same woman who said nothing, who could say nothing as her boss and his friends sexually harassed her for years. This is the same woman who married one of those friends. When my mother views this scene, she sees her daughter overreacting. She sees me making a big deal out of nothing. Her concerns lie more in maintaining the status quo and cradling my step-dads toxic ego than in protecting the shrinking three-year-old in front of her. When I view this scene, I am both bolstered and dismayed. My own strength and refusal to keep quiet is the result of hundreds, probably thousands of years of women being mistreated, and their protests ignored. It is the result of watching my own mother suffer quietly at the hands of too many men. It is the result of my own mistreatment and my solemn vow to be part of ending this cycle. It would be so easy to see a little girl being taught that her wishes dont matter. That her body is not her own. That even people she loves will mistreat and ignore her. And that all of this is okay in the name of other people, men, having fun. But. What I see instead is a little girl watching her mama. I see a little girl learning that her voice matters. That her wishes matter. I see a little girl learning that she is allowed and expected to say no. I see her learning that this is not okay. I hope my mom is learning something, too.

15.01.2022 This is my most widely shared post. And rightly so, its an important one. These are prewriting patterns, with the average (not prescribed) age at which child...ren are developmentally ready to achieve these patterns listed below them in years and months. Being able to process visual information and produce a movement in response (e.g. copying these prewriting patterns or letter formations), is known as visual motor integration. Note that an X is not typically achieved until 4 years 11 months, and a triangle at 5 years 3 months. If a child cant form these basic shapes...then they probably wont be able to form letters. It is quite concerning then that there are 3 year 7 month olds starting formal schooling, where theyre expected to write. Not only are their visual motor integration skills not developed enough, their hands are also physically under-developed. In addition, recognising letters, understanding phonics and beginning to read are all needed in order for a child to write meaningfully, skills which children starting kindy typically dont have. We also know that when a child learns something that doesnt hold meaning, its unlikely to stick. So if you have a 3-4 year old who spontaneously asks or attempts to write letters, thats great; otherwise, there is no need to initiate or worry about this. Unfortunately there is a misconception, particularly with the way that the current curriculum stands, that earlier is better. Earlier is not always better.

09.01.2022 Sometimes we forget that little people are still learning about the world, their feelings and how they belong in it. It can be very overwhelming. A change of perspective is sometimes necessary but it can be difficult not to take things personally sometimes.
