Whole Brain Intellectual Support
You cannot reason with a hungry bear that just wants his honey! But how can we still support our children in a positive way when they’re in “hungry bear mode?”
Check out the amazing tips author Meg Klettke gives in this blog.
Single-Focused Tasks
With the growing flood of information and technology, distractions are at the forefront of our every step of productivity. And while this is affecting everyone, these distractions are most detrimental to children’s developing brains.
School Readiness
Most parents and children are not even thinking about the back to school countdown. But, teachers, administrators, and students will once again be filling the halls and back to classes in just a few weeks. To prepare for this, it’s crucial that parents implement strategies now to give their children a jump start before heading back to school.
Boredom – An Essential Ingredient in Creativity
The rising monotony of each day brings about an increase in technology use to keep them occupied. What they should be doing is embracing the boredom and allowing their creative juices to flow.
Rebuilding Intellectual Skills Over the Summer
Summer break is typically viewed as a time for relaxation, fun, and no schedules – but it’s also the perfect time to get children back on track, or even ahead!
Stages of Development
Children learn and grow in stages. It is hard to pinpoint the exact ages and stages of development because some children either accelerate compared to their peers or are growing at a slower pace than normal. However, I’ve been studying child development for nearly two decades and have narrowed child growth and development into five age groups.
Celebrating Each Child’s Uniqueness
We must remember to slow down and meet children where they are in their personal growth. By appreciating each child’s uniqueness, we can nurture their individual development, which will create more motivation in them. This will increase their confidence and help them achieve more remarkable successes. Keep in mind, “Every child is gifted. They just unwrap their packages at different times.”
How Motor Kills Affect Learning
Most are aware of the benefits of physical activity for people of all ages…Additionally, there are brain-boosting benefits that help children with brain function and learning, leading to better school performance.
Balance Feels Best
As screen time has increased because school is online for many children now, parents must adjust their stance on screen time limits while also continuing to promote device- free time and activities.
