Good Sunny Morning!

v  The Primary Care Network has launched a campaign to help fight social isolation in a simple, and yet impactful way – by saying “hello”.  Just because we are staying 6 feet apart and wearing a mask doesn’t mean we can’t say, hello. You can follow along on Instagram adding your own greeting using the hashtag #SayHelloBurnaby and following @SayHelloBurnaby. There is a virtual gala on January 28th at 7pm to raise funds and awareness of the Say Hello Burnaby campaign. For more information on this clever campaign, check out Say Hello Burnaby | Home.

v  I read an interesting article this morning in Halifax Today outlining some really helpful strategies on how to personally navigate the pandemic. You can read the full article here, but to start you off, here’s a couple offerings:

1.       Stay socially connected with people you care about and love. Phone calls, texts, FaceTime, skype and even snail mail can keep our social connections in tack helping us feel together.

2.       Establish and maintain a sense of agency – getting into a routine is a powerful way to accomplish this!

v  The Power of Play – Book a Wednesday morning one-on-one play session with me, Anita – Enjoy a private play space with your little one as I coach and model child-led play, establishing healthy boundaries, turn taking and so much more with parents/caregivers and their child. Call/text or email, 604-723-9548 or email aolson@fsgv.ca to see availability.

 

Have a lovely sunny Monday!

Good Morning!

v  So, it’s too dark to play outside after dinner but your kiddo’s energy is high and bedtime isn’t for another hour, what do you do? Here’s a simple game called, Night-time Safari, that is perfect for this moment. All you need are toy animals (stuffies work well) and a flashlight. Parents hide the stuffies in the living room, turn off the lights and have your little one find all the animals using the flashlight! For more information about the safari, check out it out here!

v  Self-care is such an important routine to maintain. Pausing for a moment to nourish yourself not only benefits you but also the people around you. There are so many different ways to nourish yourself and what feels nourishing to me may not feel nourishing to you – it’s personal. Check out this Virtual Calming Room put out by Sacramento School District for some great self-care ideas. From puzzles, colouring activities, yoga, guided meditations and even live animal cameras – there’s something in this room for everyone to find a moment of calm to relax in.

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.

Hi Everyone,

So happy to be back!

This is my favourite story at the moment.

It teaches about persistence and thoughtfulness.

To build confidence and problem solving skills within our Children,

It is important that we give them the time and opportunities

to think and do for themselves with our constant support and

encouragement that they can do anything. No matter how big

or small all efforts will strengthen their sense of self.

Whether it is helping set the table  or make  their bed, pick out the

clothes they would like to wear these are all so important for them

to feel and be in control of themselves, happy capable human beings.

I hope you enjoy the book and songs as much as I did making them

for you!!!

Truly Ms. Trish ( loads of Love sprinkles to you ALL)

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Welcome 2021,

I Truly wish you all a Wonderful New year,

I am a little slow getting into the swing of

things this New Year. I have spent some time

get comfortable with the environment and routine.

I will be posting the first story time blog of 2021

tomorrow!

Morley Strongstart will be back in Edmonds Park

On going throughout the winter.

Truly Looking forward to meeting up with My Friends Soon!

Take Great Care, Be Safe and Be Calm

Love Ms. Trish

Welcome back!

When  we go walking, what do you see?

When you go walking, what do you hear?

When you go walking, what do you feel?

Here are some books and songs that I hope will

inspire your walks throughout the season…

 

Click here to hear this story and songs!

 

Click here for more books!

 

 

Well it seems I have not got a handle on this new computer!

I believed I was putting all these books on the blog?

It turns out any new book takes over the last I have read.

I am so very sorry, but these are wonderful books you could

take out from the library and read.

I will do my best to get this figured out for next year!

Truly Ms. Trish

Great ideas and important information from Anita

December 7, 2020 / / 0 Comments

v  I just read that we can expect a snowy winter later in the season – which of course made me think of DYI snow globes. There are a few things you’ll need;

o   Empty jar with a snug lid

o   Small figurine (your little one will know just the thing)

o   Glitter/sequins/beads

o   Super glue or hot glue gun (just for the big people to use)

o   Water

o   Glycerine (optional – but will make the glitter stay floating up longer)

With careful direction from your little of where and how to glue the figure onto the inside of the lid, the adults will do their best. Have your little one scoop some glitter/sequins/beads in the empty jar and then add water, about ¾ full. Add a tsp of glycerine (if you like), pop the lid on and shake! Easy peasy. If you’d like some visuals on how to create these lovely crafts – check out here.

v  Burnaby Family Life’s popular programs for parents, caregivers and children are constantly adapted to meet changing safety requirements set by the Provincial Health Officer. As we get through the pandemic, they continue to bring ideas, inspiration and solutions in support of growth and healthy development of families and children.  Please join then for a range of online parenting and family resource programs.

v  I can’t believe it’s December 1st already! If your family has particular traditions you celebrate over the winter break they may look and feel a little different this year – but that doesn’t mean you can’t make new ones! Check out these holiday traditions from The Parenting Place Blog that will keep your family safe, healthy and entertained over the holidays!

v  Check out the attached poster from The Primary Care Network, The City of Burnaby, Burnaby Inter-Agency Council, Burnaby Intercultural Planning Table and Burnaby Public Library filled with great resources in Burnaby for folks who may be needing a little extra support during the pandemic. Questions about the Rent Bank, worries and concerns, emergency shelter and more. If you know someone who needs support pass this poster along!
