None of us will get it right all the time; all that matters is that we keep trying.

Mindful Monday Something that often crosses my mind about todays very outdated school system, is the idea that we want children to grow up to be free thinkers... and innovators yet we spend most of their educational experiences telling them what to do, how to do it, and when to get it done. If we want children to become free thinking, innovative adults, we should treat them as such from childhood. For if children believe that they have autonomy over their own thoughts and experiences, they will no longer need anyone to tell them what to think and experience.

There is so much more to behaviour than most people think. Children don’t try to upset us, there is usually something behind it. They are communicating their ne...ed through behaviour. If we look behind the behaviour we can see a child who is doing the best they can #parenting #positiveparenting #gentleparenting #respectfulparenting #resilience #family #children #Psychologist #play #playtherapy #life #mumlife #momlife #dads #teachers

We have been saying this for quite some time now. The devil is in the details. Let's make sure they get it right. #childcare #childdevelopment #playislearning https://www.forbes.com//universal-pre-k-can-the-feds-bui/

Mamas and babies!

Such a shame. Let children be children!

Love this poem: These familiar flowers, these well-remembered bird-notes, this sky, with its fitful brightness, these furrowed and grassy fields, each with a sort of personality given to it by the capricious hedgerowssuch things as these are the mother-tongue of our imagination, the language that is laden with all the subtle, inextricable associations the fleeting hours of our childhood left behind them. Our delight in the sunshine on the deep-bladed grass to-day, might be no more than the faint perception of wearied souls, if it were not for the sunshine and the grass in the far-off years which still live in us, and transform our perception into love. George Eliot , Mill On The Floss
