Using stickers to help little ones use the best pincer grasp. This was a fun way to practice identifying numbers. Cover with a sticker each owl that has the matching number on our toy that we found during our scavenger hunt.

SUMMER MINDFUL PARENTING CHALLENGE!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The goal of this challenge is to shift your parenting mindset to one of mindful parenting! Life is slowly shifting back to a steady flow. Let's take the time to step up our parenting journey!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What to expect from this challenge?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1-Starting June 1st, for 8 weeks, you will receive a weekly email with one short parenting principle along with a “Let’s get Practical” call to action.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2-You will also be able to download a Journal file for those who would like to track progress, add comments and notes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS EMPOWERING CHALLENGE!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the last year, parents have had to wear many hats. With the stress of these added roles, we become focused on trying to "get everything done". We get stressed out when things (like homework, dinner, bath time) are taking longer than planned! GOAL.. Bedtime at 8:00! (and surviving!!) We are forgetting to really just be in the moment with our children! It has definitely affected the parenting relationship. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mindful Parenting means taking the time to be at the center of your family and ENJOY the interaction with your children and partner. It means thinking of the big picture of “what do I really want my child to learn?” when I’m "disciplining". It means creating a sense of US as a UNIT and respecting everyone’s individuality within the family.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When we become mindful parents, we give our children the gift of becoming mindful individuals. We allow them to blossom into the unique person that they are.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Join the challenge! Just reply: I’m IN!!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Beautiful Oops! I have always loved this book. Soo

Beautiful Oops! I have always loved this book. Sooo well made and the lesson of turning “mistakes” into something beautiful is a life skill for our children. Once we read the book, we used finger stamps, closed our eyes to make dots on the paper and then use our creativity to turn it into something beautiful! (Added bonus: I turned this into a handwriting activity too by labeling each picture and then writing a sentence about it!) #otskills #creativity #creativityforkids #finemotor #finemotorskills #homeschool #learning #learningthroughplay

Our children’s lives have been turned upside dow

Our children’s lives have been turned upside down. What they counted on in the routine of school to help them stay grounded and regulated is no longer consistent (in person, on zoom, shut down a class, reopen a class, divided recess, plexiglass desktop, masked friends and teachers) it’s A LOT for little kids. Then they often hear “it’s too much to have them home” where they now feel like burdens in the very 4 walls that are meant to be their safe place. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our children’s emotional health is a PRIORITY. Academics can always get caught up. Fine motor and gross motor skills too. However, their mental health is a lot more important and fragile. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As parents and as educators our focus needs to be how to help children feel safe from the inside. Safety allows children to feel grounded and open to learn and thrive. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Create the time during the day, both at home and at school, where children can voice their feelings and their fears. Let’s give them tools for mindfulness and for using the power of their breath to stay calm. Take the time to slow down.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We can help children through all these changes by teaching and modeling grounding strategies so that they can build resilience no matter what life brings.

Made this with one of my students to work on handwriting skills. This was as a reward for months of hard work!!! Printed it on transfer paper and ironed it on a cotton pencil case! 💕really magical to watch children appreciate their own art💕

This week’s class was so much fun! Easy way for little ones to practice counting skills while paying attention to how much force they use with their fingers (graded finger control). This is an important precursor skill to efficient pencil grasp. ✏️ #ot #otskills #finemotorskills #prek #prekactivities #iteachtoo #funlearning

💕 Integrating growth mindset concepts into our writing sessions. 💕

As we practice the formation of letter K , we also explored the importance of K-indness and ways to be kind to ourselves and others.

As educators, we can make any moment a teaching moment. Focus not only on building fine motor skills but also incorporate life lessons for our little ones.
