Hi Everyone,

I trust this finds you Happy and Healthy and having Fun Playing together with your Child/Children.
During these uncertain times I am and you can be certain that Being with your Child is the answer when there are no answers.

The Children Loved to come to Strongstart because you were by their side, talking and playing with them.

You are their answer, it is not in the doing, not in the knowing but in the Being together that Empowers their sense of Safety and Fulfillment.
Parenting is the hardest job on Earth, I am not making slight of this! Play is the answer to our and their many Emotions.

Play is were we can move through our emotions/feelings by telling stories, or acting them out, Music to sing and dance with, rhymes and poetry too!

Play is a bubble of Safety where there becomes less anxiety for them and you.

Make a date, hopefully many with your Child to play,example: after we eat lunch we will read a book, or make play-dough, or play play dough, or sing and dance together.

They need your attention and time to feel safe and Happy!

Play: What is on my Butt:

Lay tummy down on your bed/couch and have your Child find things from around the house and place it on your Butt.

without looking ask them for some clues, is it red? is it hard?…

Use different voices to make it more Fun!

Trust that you are being an amazing Parent! Because you Truly are!!!

With the understanding of Children’s feelings and emotions and how to express them, Children will be better prepared to learn all the other skills.

Emotional Literacy is the Key to All other Learning.

Til next time Take Care,

Ms. Trish
