Good Wednesday Afternoon!
v I’ve been fortunate to be able to visit some of the Strong Start outdoor programs – they are absolutely fantastic! All the Strong Starts have interesting blogs with tonnes of parenting information, children’s activities and I highly recommend you check them out if you have a minute. On a recent visit I was asked to guest blog and write about the visit. Please check out the post here – it’s all about serve and return interactions. Enjoy!
v Starting this Monday the 17th I will be sharing lots of great information from the Social and Emotional Development Campaign and www.feelingsfirst.ca – but before the campaign kicks off, they would like to know what you know about social and emotional development. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey – caregivers and parents have a chance to win prizes from Child Health BC and Appetite to Play!
v Meet me in the Park! If you are interested in a free one-on-one consultation about your child’s development, behavior, parenting tips, tricks and education please email or call me, Anita, to set up a visit at your favorite Burnaby park! aolson@fsgv.ca 604-723-9548

Good Morning – Hard to believe that April is almost over!
v I wanted to share an amazing recipe for Giant Bubbles that a Strong Start Facilitator shared with her families and with me on one of my visits!
o 6 cups of warm water
o ½ cup of Blue Dawn original dishwashing detergent
o 1 TBSP of corn syrup (or glycerin, if you happen to have some)
Mix all of the ingredients gently. Here is the secret: The bubble liquid gets better the longer it sits! It should marinate overnight at least. The solution gets better with age and should last a while! Tip: just dip wand into the solution, don’t stir or swish – it creates small bubbles and stops working. Enjoy!
v Join the Burnaby Festival of Learning from May 7th – May 11th this year! This festival is free and for all ages! Bring your curiosity as you and your family explore a rich array of cultural, natural and city spaces with fun-filled experiences. Check out the attached poster for more information or click here.

Good Morning – Happy March!
v It’s hard to believe we are starting March already – that means spring is just around the corner! On your walk today, see if you can spy any bird’s nests in the trees – children are great at this game when they know what to look for – and see what they know about nests. When you get home invite your little one to build a nest for you to sit in together – pillows and blankets work well. If you’re feeling up to a bit of a messy activity and have some yarn and white glue, you can invite your little one to make a yarn nest! Check out the imaginationtree.com for the step by step instructions on how to create these messy and beautiful nests!
v After a conversation with my sister this morning about mental health, it became very clear that there is this idea to keep busy with the things you love doing to keep mental health up during the pandemic. And don’t get me wrong, I think this is a great strategy – currently I have about 4 different side projects that I dabble in to keep me afloat. But it also made me think – the days that I don’t feel motivated to touch any of them doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m not fostering my mental health. Recognizing and honouring all feelings that come up is essential to our mental health – knowing how we feel and putting a name to it is a powerful thing – we can use those feelings, both good and bad, as a kind of fuel to keep on moving or help get unstuck. Talking with people you trust and love can really help unpack feelings too. I’ve attached a poster with many support phone numbers on it, one of which is specific to mental health and dealing with worries or concerns – check it out or call: 604-951-8855
v If you are interested in a free one-on-one consultation about your child’s development, behavior, parenting tips, tricks and education please email or call me, Anita, to set up either a virtual appointment or a socially distanced visit in the community.
