The only moment we have is NOW. We can’t wait fo

The only moment we have is NOW. We can’t wait for circumstances to be perfect in order to show up as the parent we want to be for our children. It’s not, when I have more time, when I won’t have to go to work, when I get all my errands done, when I’ll feel less stressed.....it’s NOW. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be the parent you want to be to your child NOW...Our window of time with them is so short. The choices you make today in your NOW moments, becomes the parent you are in the future. All we have is Now 💕🙏🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When interacting with your child, really be present. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☀️Play with them like you would if you were really friends. Ie. Enjoy the game, share about your day and about some of your stories, play with wonder and excitement!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☀️Be present in every moment. When you are with them to give them a bath, you are not doing 100 other things.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☀️Leave behind the distraction of your phone.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☀️Have dinner together instead of feeding the children.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☀️Be mindful of how you speak with your child. Are you conversing with them or speaking at them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☀️Enjoy your little bugger!!! The wisdom (and humor) that comes out of their mouths is priceless!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Letter Hunt! This is such a fun and interactive way for children to learn their letters and stay engaged while working on visual perceptual skills. Give them a little map and have them trace every letter necklace they find! 🗺 🏴‍☠️ #sahm #montessori #motherhood #playmatters #sensoryplay #kidsactivities #prek #kindergarten #momlife #earlylearning #teachermom #learningthroughplay #invitationtoplay #preschool #homeschool #montessoriathome #letthekids #letthembelittle #letthemplay #childhoodunplugged #kidsplay #playbasedlearning #creativelearning #creativekids #playathome #iteachtoo #teachersofinstagram #finemotor #finemotorskills #finemotorplay

Lately I have been so aware of the way life has gone back to all this busy-ness.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I realize how much I need to make the time in my day for stillness, to connect with myself so that I can be more present with all my interactions. I’m definitely a work in progress, but grateful for gentle reminders from people I love.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we can be still, we can be more present. We can truly play and enjoy our children, be supportive during emotional outbursts and appreciate the small moments (that we may miss and not see when we are too busy to even notice) 💕

Purim cutting activity!!!!
This is a really fun way to have kids practice cutting skills!
They begin by drawing their faces on one circle then add a costume of choice! They add a folded circle to the back to make it rock!

For teachers and homeschooling moms. You can turn any lesson into a fine motor learning opportunity by adding simple tools. ✂️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only do manipulatives make learning more fun and engaging, they are an added opportunity for children to work on their fine motor skills. ✏️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can read more detailed ideas on how to use these tools on my blog: (link is also in the bio) 💕

Never too young for Story Cubes! 💕 some children are ready! You can use the cubes in so many ways not only to tell a story. I use it for starting letter sounds, write a sentence, write a word, write a sentence with 2 words, find a rhyming word etc...so many ways! Enjoy!

💕Sign up in my BIO! FREE ALL DAY EVENT Sat. Feb 20th As a pediatric OT I have worked with hundreds of families to help them move away from fear-based interventions that don’t honor their children and exchange authenticity for conformity.

I will be discussing with Florencia DJoe how parents can shift to a more empowering mindset and provide practical ways to meet the needs of their children.

The key to conscious parenting includes self-paren

The key to conscious parenting includes self-parenting your inner child. I remember thinking when I first heard this concept...what does that even mean? Today, I can tell you that the key to true happiness is in the bonding and healing with our own inner child.💕 From there, all your relationships will transform! I have come to believe that our own children are our own inner child in physical form! If we haven’t integrated the inner child, raised her, loved her, validated her, held her, parented her and fulfilled its emotional needs, we will REACT and lash out to our children instead of RESPONDING from our wise adult. 💕I highly suggest reading Inner Bonding💕 @innerbonding1 #parenting #consciousparenting #mindfulparenting #innerchildhealing #raisingchildren #parentingtips #parentinglife

Cutting circles can be challenging!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
OT tip: Have your child put small stickers on the circle and cue them to cut through each sticker! Voila! 💕
