im on early childhood educator tiktok and i love it but some people in the comments know nothing about child development, and the importance of social and emotional learning and it fucking shows.

let me explain something:

children cannot gaslight. this is especially true for those who are not school-aged, so 0-4. them crying or throwing a tantrum is not them trying to get their way through manipulation. they are not overreacting, they do NOT need to stop crying, especially when they are hurt.

children are allowed to be upset. they are allowed to cry, scream and shout. they are allowed to feel their emotions. when you tell a child no, and they flop to the ground and throw a tantrum, they are not trying to manipulate you into giving them what they want. they don't know how the world around them works yet, so yes of course a child is going to get upset you tell them "no, you need to wear your coat." or "no, you need to sit on your bum while you eat." they don't understand that if they don't wear their coat they could get hypothermia because they are little and cannot regulate their body temperature as well as we can, and they don't understand that running around and playing while eating can lead to choking. they don't understand things like that.

it is our jobs, as adults, educators, parents, family, etc. to teach them these things. to help them to understand, to help them to regulate. by telling them things like "stop crying," "you've got no reason to be upset," or "i'll give you something to cry about," you are telling them that them, and their feelings don't matter. that they have to go along with what you say no matter what, and that they should be respecting and trusting you no matter what happens, which is NOT true. they don't need to respect and trust you. exactly like how a child needs to earn your trust, YOU have to earn theirs. if they don't trust you, they don't have to respect you. it's your job to show them that you are someone they can trust, and with that trust comes respect.

going back to if they are hurt, instead of saying things like 'you're fine,' try saying 'you're going to be fine,' or asking 'are you hurt, or are you scared?' or even a simple 'are you okay?' is better.

if they are throwing a tantrum, don't do anything. let the tantrum happen. if someone was having a seizure, would you be standing over them while they seize and tell them to suck it up, that they're fine?? no, you wouldn't. you'd make sure the area around them is safe, put them in the recovery position, and you'd wait it out. the same thing is true for children. they cannot process information when they are upset. yes, it might be frustrating, and yes, it always happens at the most inopportune time, but it's not their fault. so when they are melting down, just sit and wait for them to finish. if you need to, walk away from them to take a breather for yourself. when they calm down, tell them you're there, that you love them, and offer comfort. don't force it, offer it. children deserve autonomy. my body, my choice, remember. try to remember that the reason for the tantrum is because they can't communicate what's wrong. they can't explain 'hey, im sad because i can't wear my crocs in the snow.' they have to show it, and crying is how they express that.

children cannot gaslight. they cannot manipulate. they are tiny humans who didn't ask to be brought into this world, and therefore as the adults in their life, it is our jobs to help them navigate and learn the world around them. there are going to be setbacks and tough moments. there are going to be times when you want to yell at them to stop and behave. there are going to be times when you feel like you can't do this, but it's important to remember that you can. it's even more important to remember that if they are acting out/throwing a tantrum, etc. with you, it means they trust you, and you are a safe place for them. just as you learned to express your feelings without throwing a tantrum, so can they, they just need it to be taught to them, and more importantly, modelled to them. the moment you view them as competent and capable, trust me, your view of them will entirely change.

'It's not our job to toughen our children up to face a cruel and heartless world, it is our job to raise children who will make the world a little less cruel and heartless.' - L.R. Knost

'Tantrums are not bad behaviour. Tantrums are an expression of emotion that became too much for the child to bear. No punishment is required. What your child needs is compassion and safe, loving arms to unload in.' - Rebecca Eanes

#i joke about it and all but like. i cannot emphasize enough what an impact it had on me to be uhhhhhb #micro-institutionalized in the way that i was for the first 14 years if my life #and i am honestly going to count the time i soent in ''elementary'' school bc it wasn't a normal school. it was a charter school #that began as a parent organized alternative and swiftly devolved into an authoritarian nightmare #a bunch of people who were simply not ready to educate children let alone ''problem'' children #of which there were MANY because that school got all the kids who had been turned out of public school for behavioral issues #there were hardline rules about literally everything. normal childhood behavior was pathologized and punished and as a kid #you had no way to understand WHY #and so many of your peers were having problems because ofc those ''problem'' kids were typically severely traumatized #or were actively being abused #so even if it wasn't happening TO you you were being exposed to it in a hundred little ways every day #so i was confused and miserable all the time AND was struggling academically bc i had undiagnosed adhd #(or possibly just trauma?? i honestly neither know nor care which came first at this point)#so my mom pulled me and my brother out. him at 11 and me at 6 and said ''i'll just do it myself'' and #raised us in a way that wasn't religious but resembled evangelical or lds stuff #i couldn't watch commercial tv or listen to popular music bc my parents didn't want me exposed to what they considered inappropriate #and while i still had extracurriculars i was always the odd one out bc i had no exposure to pop culture or normal socialization #for my age group #it resulted in me always feeling alone and like i didn't belong. and since most of my social life was my parents and their friends #that was the perfect soup for adultification #i was fine with adults. put me with my peers and i was a mess #it made the transition to high school incredibly difficult but i DID make it #but that was only 4 years still in an institution. everything began to unravel once i tried to move into anything resembling ''real life''#and then my dad's suicide which was a major trauma in early adulthood which only made my mom's grip on us tighten #i did get to START life until 26. not really. and it's just been a game of catch up for the last 5 years #and im so *angry* at the unfairness of it all. at the time and experience and milestones that were taken from me. at how i blamed myself #for it for so many years and the problems i developed because of it all. dissociation and substance abuse and suicidality #the fear that still has a death grip on me #the courage required to just exist #it's *exhausting*

I'm on the like, on the one hand I don't like states and shit, don't trust government etc, but on the other hand someone's gonna wind up organising things and I dunno how to stop these people from forming a government without hampering their useful organisation functions. I mean I guess someone could fire/imprison/kill them if they get too government-y but that would mean that the firing/killing/imprisoning people would become the government instead, which is probably worse.

I haven't read enough about what the Alternatives To Government would look like to have any kind of real criticism but also yeah

I think things like... local government are pretty distinct in my mind from The State but also like again I am not informed enough about political theory to really say anything aside from all of this makes me leery and the way things are is terrible and it should not be like this

#a lot of my feelings about Human Systems honestly come down to like we need better early childhood care and education we need to be #making humans who are not traumatized #which isnt really a geopolitical opinion.#i dont know man. most of the spaces i dip into that are about Leftist Geopolitics are incredibly reactive and like mean and violent #and then theyre like if that bothers you you are a centrist!#WHAT DO I KNOW IM JUST ONE GUY SUFFERING ON A PLANET OF GUYS SUFFERING YOU KNOW?

Strategies for Improving Early Childhood Literacy

Some parents and educators believe it's best to let kids be kids for as long as they can. Why push them to grow up? Why force them into a rigid education structure before they're even out of diapers? We wholeheartedly agree. But we also believe helping kids to begin developing literacy skills during early childhood is a key to healthy development and success in their future schooling. Fortunately, developing literacy skills in your child doesn't mean you need to start teaching him to read right away. On the contrary, simply reading to your child twenty minutes a day is one of the most important literacy building activities you can do to prepare him to learn to read and succeed in school.

Did you know there are several "story time" strategies you can use, while reading to your child, to help him develop early literacy skills without him ever knowing? Try a few of the tricks below the next time you read with your child, and see if he doesn't start turning into a little bookworm right before your eyes.

Run your finger under each word

Running your finger under each word as you read starts developing literacy skills for small children in ways you might not even imagine. Reading and writing left to right, and top to bottom, doesn't come naturally to all young children. Running your finger under each word as you read helps children develop a sense of orientation. At first your child may not even notice what you're doing with your finger–but they will sooner or later. Then your child will start watching your finger, and as he does, he'll not only develop a sense of orientation for reading and writing, but he'll begin developing a concept of words, spacing between words and print. Before you know it, he will start running his finger under words as you read mimicking what he's seen you do, and he will begin pretending to read–a very big step toward early childhood literacy.

Focus on vocabulary

A child doesn't have to know how to read to build vocabulary. In fact, much of a child's vocabulary is acquired long before he starts to read. Having a well developed vocabulary is key to learning how to read down the road.

Developing a strong vocabulary at a young age helps children develop "background knowledge" that they'll draw on for future learning. Most parents, and even some educators, don't realize that the human brain–especially the brain of a child–learns by attaching new information to old information. If we can attach something new to something old, it is easier for us to understand it. Helping your child build background knowledge, by developing their vocabulary, will make it much easier for them to grow their vocabulary and learn to read when they start school. Did you know that children who enter kindergarten with a strong vocabulary are typically able to learn 8 new words per day, while children who struggle with vocabulary learn only 2 words per day? The stronger your child's vocabulary, the easier time he'll have learning how to read and comprehending what he's reading.

Use your story time to expand your child's vocabulary. Take time to point out important words. Use picture books to start developing associations between words and the objects and meanings they represent. As you read, discuss important words with your child that he may not know. Building your child's vocabulary at a young age will make it much easier for him when he starts learning to read.

Point out the punctuation

It may seem like pointing out punctuation to a four year old is going a bit far, but it really does make a difference in early childhood literacy. We're not recommending that you teach your child what a question mark, period or exclamation point is, we're simply suggesting that you point them out. Many adolescents as they begin to read struggle with punctuation. Believe it or not, punctuation is intimidating. Introducing your child to punctuation at an early age, while you read to him his favorite stories, will help him feel much more comfortable–and less intimidated–with punctuation when he starts reading on his own. Again, the idea is to build familiarity and comfort with punctuation while reading to your child, not teach them how to use punctuation.

A great way to point out punctuation while reading is to create a game out of it. For example, when you come to a question mark, let your child answer the question. When you come to an exclamation point, place exaggerated emphasis on the last few words in the sentence preceding the exclamation point. You can also vary your inflections based on different types of punctuation.

Read with voice inflections

It's been suggested that 93% percent of all communication is non-verbal (55% body language and 38% tone of voice.) The same holds true with ready. Meaning communicated through reading comes not only from the words themselves, but how the words are used. When reading with your infant or young child you should use voice inflections. Using voice inflections in your reading serves two purposes. First, voice inflections help children hear how reading should sound. They'll pick up on how you emphasize words and use voice inflections as they hear you use them. Second, using voice inflections as you read holds their attention and gets them excited about reading. It isn't necessary to exaggerate every word, but it is useful to use voice infection whenever appropriate.

Hunt for letters

If your child is a little older, doing a letter hunt with him from time to time is a great way to make story time fun while helping him begin to recognize and learn his letters. Teach your child a specific letter, like "A", or maybe use the first letter of his name "B" (for Brian) to make it interesting. Then have Brian search each page you read for the letter B. Count how many times he finds B on each page, then count how many times B appears in the story. Repeat this exercise for all the letters in the alphabet to improve your child's letter recognition and help lay a foundation for future success in reading.

Search for sight words

Being able to recognize and understand basic sight words is extremely helpful when it comes time to teach your child to read. The most common sight words found in most books include: a, of, the, and, is, in, it, you, to, that. Just like playing "hunt for letters", have your child count how many times he can find the sight word on each page, then count how many times the sight word appears in the story. Now go back and read each sentence that contains the sight word so he can hear and see how the word is used. Repeat this exercise for each sight word. Arriving at kindergarten the first day being able to recognize and understand basic sight words will give your child a big head start. (Note: If your child doesn't like this game, don't do it. This exercise will give your child a head start in reading, but isn't necessary–and may have the opposite effect if you push it.)

Ask your child to make a prediction

Before you start reading a new book, have your child look at the cover, read the title and possibly flip through a few pages to look at some pictures. Now ask your child to tell you what he thinks the book is going to be about. After you've finished reading the book, have your child tell you how close his prediction was to what the book was actually about. This exercise will help your child pay attention as you read and focus on comprehension as he hears the story and mentally compares the actual story to the version he predicted.

Check for comprehension

Reading comprehension is one of the most important skills school age children need to have. Unfortunately, it's also one of the areas where many children struggle the most throughout their elementary and high school careers. Focusing on comprehension at an early age will not only give your child a head start, it will help ensure that your child will be able develop the ready comprehension skills early that he'll need to succeed in school.

After you get done reading a story to your child, ask him a few questions to see how much he understood or remembers. If he is unable to answer a question, go back to the page where the answer is found and reread the page. Then ask the question again.

Read it again and again!

Reading the same book every day may seem a little bit tedious, but if it's a book your child enjoys, they'll love reading it again and again. Repetition is key to learning. It's not to say you can't, or shouldn't, switch it up a little, but reading from the same book regularly will enhance all of the learning strategies you're employing, enhance his vocabulary and make it much easier for him when he is required to start reading on his own. Read to your child from the same book every day, and in no time he'll start turning the pages when you come to the end of the text, correcting you when you make mistakes or change the story, and even pretend reading the book himself.

More important than developing early childhood literacy skills is helping your child learn to love books and enjoy learning. Focusing too much on skill development at a young age can have a negative effect, and cause your child to not like reading. Include some learning activities, games and exercises in your reading, but most of all, make sure that story time is a fun time for your child.

Why Childcare Incursions Are Essential for Holistic Child Development

Childcare incursions play a vital role in fostering the holistic development of children during their formative years. These interactive and educational experiences offer a range of benefits that contribute to a child's overall growth and well-being.

In this article, we will explore the significance of childcare incursions and how they positively impact various aspects of a child's development.

Benefits of Childcare Incursions

The benefits of childcare incursions are multifaceted, encompassing social, cognitive, and physical aspects of child development.

Enhancing Social Skills

Childcare incursions provide valuable opportunities for children to interact with their peers and educators in a structured yet engaging environment. These interactions help children develop essential social skills such as communication, cooperation, and empathy.

Through collaborative activities and group discussions, children learn to navigate social dynamics and build meaningful connections with others.

Cognitive Development

Incursions are designed to stimulate children's cognitive abilities through hands-on activities, problem-solving tasks, and interactive learning experiences.

These activities promote critical thinking, creativity, and knowledge acquisition, laying a strong foundation for future academic pursuits. Furthermore, exposure to new concepts and ideas during incursions nurtures a child's curiosity and passion for learning.

Physical Well-being

Physical activity is an integral part of childcare incursions, contributing to the overall health and well-being of children. Whether through outdoor play, movement-based incursions, or sensory activities, children engage in experiences that support their gross and fine motor skills development.

Encouraging an active lifestyle from a young age sets the stage for a healthy future and instils positive habits related to exercise and self-care.

Importance of Diverse Incursion Activities

Offering a diverse range of incursion activities is essential in providing children with enriching and well-rounded experiences that cater to their individual interests and talents.

Exploring Diverse Activities

Music, arts, science, cultural experiences, and more – the variety of incursion activities introduces children to a world of possibilities.

Exposure to diverse activities fosters creativity, curiosity, and an appreciation for different interests, ensuring that each child has the opportunity to explore and identify their passions.

Engagement with Families

Family involvement is a cornerstone of holistic child development, and it is no different when it comes to incursion activities.

Involving Families

Engaging families in incursion activities creates a supportive network that extends the learning beyond the childcare setting. By involving parents and caregivers, children feel a sense of continuity between home and childcare, reinforcing the value of their educational experiences.

Furthermore, parents can extend the learning from incursions at home, providing additional opportunities for their child to explore and grow.

Professional Development for Educators

The success of incursion programs hinges on the dedication and continuous growth of the educators and providers involved.

Ongoing Professional Development

Ensuring that educators receive ongoing professional development equips them with the knowledge and skills to deliver high-quality incursion programs. This includes staying updated on best practices, child development research, and innovative teaching methods.

Collaborating with external providers also enriches the incursion experiences, bringing diverse perspectives and expertise into the childcare environment.

Conclusion

Childcare incursions are not merely activities; they are invaluable opportunities for children to learn, grow, and thrive in a nurturing and stimulating environment.

By emphasising the social, cognitive, physical, and diverse aspects of incursion activities, we can further enrich the lives of young learners and set the stage for a future filled with curiosity, knowledge, and creativity.

As we conclude, let us recognise the positive impact that well-planned and diverse incursion programs can have on the holistic development of children. By prioritising these experiences, we invest in the bright and promising future of the next generation.

Activities For Toddlers in Childcare

Toddlers have short attention spans, but they love to explore and engage in fun activities. They also have an incredible imagination, so it’s important to let them use their creativity.

Playing Simon Says is a great way to keep toddlers entertained and help them improve their motor skills. You can also encourage kids to be creative by giving them clothes pegs and encouraging them to make a work of art with them.

Object line tracing

Tracing is an important pre-writing skill that helps activities for toddlers in childcare refine their drawing and writing skills. This sensory activity also helps them build visual-spatial awareness, which is important for later learning skills like tracing letters and numbers.

Toddlers can work on their fine motor skills by tracing and cutting shapes from colored paper. This activity is fun for them and fosters creativity. They can also use beads, gemstones, string, pebbles, bottle tops or pompoms for this activity.

Another activity that promotes tracing and cutting is creating a greeting card for family members or friends. This can be a great way to develop their tracing, cutting and pre-writing skills while also fostering a sense of community and appreciation. This activity also promotes social skills, such as listening and communication.

Car design

Car design is a great way to promote creativity and motor skills. You can even make it a sensory activity by using different materials. For example, you can put blobs of paint on paper and have toddlers smear it with toy cars. You can also use this activity to teach about colors and shapes.

Another fun car-themed activity is a pattern matching game. To do this, prepare some construction paper strips with patterns like stripes, polka dots, and zigzags. Then, ask children to match them up. This is a great way to work on fine motor skills and develop concentration.

Toddlers have short attention spans, so activities must be creative and hands-on. Try these simple transportation activities to keep your 2-year-old engaged and happy.

Sound guessing game

Toddlers have short attention spans and need to be engaged in sensory, fine motor and problem-solving activities. To encourage playful kids early learning centre, setting up activity spaces, stations or baskets around a room or outdoor space can help to foster their curiosity and imagination.

Play a 'Guess the Sound' game to teach your toddler about different objects and their sounds. The game is fun, easy to set up and has lots of repetition, which toddlers love!

Toddlers love to clap to music. This simple activity helps to promote rhythm and coordination. They can even create their own beats by clapping and singing along! Creating their own paper shapes is an excellent way to encourage creativity and fine motor skills. This could be as simple as gluing ripped pieces of paper together or using a glue stick to make a rainbow!

Object matching game

Matching objects is an important skill for toddlers to develop. It helps them understand how one object is the same as another, a practical knowledge they will use throughout their lives. Stacking identical blocks, matching toys, and arranging books by color or size are examples of such activities.

A simple activity that promotes gross motor skills is a pillow road for toy vehicles. This is a fun and engaging way to encourage your toddlers to move up and down the ramps while they race their toy cars.

Boost your toddlers’ memory and concentration skills with a simple, yet stimulating activity. Bury some objects in a box filled with rice, sand, or any other base and let them hunt for them in pairs. They can then match the textured materials with a set of cards with corresponding textures.

Sensory play

As toddlers interact with their world, they learn and gain knowledge through their senses (touching, tasting, hearing, seeing and smelling). Sensory activities support cognitive growth. They also help a child regulate their emotions and promote social interactions with other children and adults.

Sensory play is a great way to foster fine motor skills, which are crucial for toddlers. It also helps them improve their concentration. It can also be adapted to accommodate a child with sensory processing disorders or special needs, which is beneficial to their development.

For example, you can create a sensory bin that's all about shapes, such as circles and spheres of different sizes. This is a great way to teach toddlers about texture, color, and shape. You can also include taste-safe materials such as oobleck and homemade play dough.
