Early Years Specialist - Abigail Carr

To be totally transparent, I wasn’t born knowing how to communicate with children so they would develop understanding, values and be cooperative. It’s something we all need to learn in some way.

Can you relate to any of this? Let me know in the comments. 👇

What questions do you have about risky play? Are you going to encourage it today?

Let’s face it, social media can make us all feel like there are things we SHOULD do, especially during holidays.

In fact, if you can, prioritising yourself will likely be the best thing your child will experience this Christmas! 🙌🏻

Of course Christmas feels like it’s all about the children when you have little ones. AND there is a lot of fun to be had with them and all the Christmassy things, BUT don’t lose yourself in the stress of trying to do it all.

Kids will remember the FEELING of Christmas rather than the gifts and ‘things’. So a rested, happy mamma is way more important.

How are you prioritising yourself this Christmas?

P.S.
If you want an easy and simple way of keeping your kids entertained through the holidays, my ACTIVITY BOOK for authentic learning Winter Edition is an awesome way to use daily routines during the holidays for fun and festivities without the hassle.

Most of the time we may not even notice the things we are teaching children. 🧐

Some of the most important life lessons are learnt through watching how people interact with others and the world. 👀 For children it’s those they look up to most that provide the most impact.

You want children to grow into kind respectful adults and if I told you that we don’t have to directly teach these traits and it’s as easy as just being those ways yourself, you may not believe me. But parents in my 1:1 Programme, witness this power of modelling respectful language, empathy, understanding and listening. It often truly amazes them when they see their children doing it too! 🥰

I have one opening in my 1:1 Parent Coaching Programme before the end of November.

💌 Send me a DM to chat about how I will help you develop your emotionally healthy and socially able child even in the face of school, media and peer pressures.

My programmes are designed for you if you have a young child now and want to build healthy habits, a connected relationship and positively influence them into adulthood.

I know that behaviour challenges with children take their toll on your daily routines, you stress levels and your chances to rest or feel like you have quality time together.

It doesn’t have to feel that way!

I have a 4-step framework that helps you in any behaviour situation so that you don’t have to feel stuck or like your reaction will make you feel guilty afterwards too.

I’ve used it in my classroom, my clients have used it in their homes, and it can make a huge difference to your mindset and your own reactions to your children so that they listen better, respond more appropriately and you feel power struggles less often and less acutely!

It’s simple- understand, listen, play, adapt‼️

These steps help you to effectively communicate using active listening & clear instructions as well as messages about the impact of behaviour. This brings consistency to expectations & how children respond.

I’d love to teach you the steps so you dont have to worry about feeling begrudgingly towards your child for their behaviour in ANY situation, get rid of the mum guilt from yelling or sternness and bring you easier routines and day-to-day life!

The Accelerator Group Programme
♥️The Power of Understanding♥️

Under 4s should not be forced to share!

And even older children should be empowered and shown how to take turns appropriately, not forced.

Very young children are not developmentally ready to understand what sharing is. So forcing turn taking doesn’t actually do the job we think it does. Children do not learn how to share by being forced to share.

Healthier ways to support play in toddlers is to be empathetic to their wants and feelings, and set boundaries around behaviour when appropriate.

If you are unsure of how to intervene in play and support the positive behaviours of your child during play encounters, join me in my stories today, I’ll be announcing something that will definitely help you!

Settling back into routines after the summer and especially starting new ones, can be tough for all involved.

Preparing your child well can make all the difference for how they settle back in but also your stress levels and worries too.
