Good Wednesday Morning!<\/p>\n

v\u00a0Rather than strive to be perfect,\u00a0the greatest gift you can give to a young child is your time<\/b>. Strong secure relationships are critical to a healthy, happy life in childhood, throughout the teenage years and into adulthood (source: Heart-Mind Online). Learn more @\u00a0www.feelingsfirst.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What does being present mean to a young child?<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Increased self-control<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Higher levels of resiliency<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0More hopeful attitudes<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Better mental health<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0More prosocial behaviours<\/p>\n

o\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0More positive feelings about themselves<\/p>\n

v\u00a0\u00a0With this glorious sunshine, today would make the perfect day for\u00a0a Teddy Bear\u2019s picnic<\/b>. It doesn\u2019t have to be complicated (unless you want it to be) \u2013 make some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with your little one, wash some strawberries or a sliced apple, a cookie or two and fill a big bottle of water. If you feel so inclined, bring some pretty tea cups \u2013 your little one will likely drink more water with a fancy cup, a blanket and of course, a couple teddy bears to join. Set up your picnic under a shady tree and voila! A Teddy Bear\u2019s picnic.<\/p>\n
