Parent Tip:

child watering plants

 Children need encouragment like plants need water. What a better time for that analogy than now; with the warm weather and gardens in full bloom! Nourish your child and build self esteem and confidence in them through honest observations. "I like how you kept trying to button your pants by yourself, now you've got it!" or "You and your sister have worked so hard to build that tower, great teamwork!"

Looking for Child Care?

 

 Choosing a child care facility can be daunting for many, and difficult for most.  There are so many different things to consider, and sometimes it is hard to even know WHAT you are looking for.

 

It is very important for parents to go and visit any place they may consider leaving their children in before a decision is made.  Taking along some "interview" questions or a checklist of points that are important to you is a great way to be sure you find what is the best match for your family!

 

 

 

Beyond Flintstone's

 

 

If your child does not know how to read, you teach him. If your child does not know how to swim, you teach him. If your child does not know how to tie his shoes, you teach him. If your child does not know how to write, you teach him. If you child does not know how to behave, you ... teach or punish him?


In many cases, the word discipline is confused with punishment. According to the dictionary, the word discipline comes from the word disciple. In its simplest form, disciple means to teach - not punish. In the long run, what happens to children who are constantly punished?

 

 

 

Remember: 

 


We have an interactive survey to help you keep up with your child's development. Even if you've already taken the survey, you can look ahead to see what to expect from your little one in the months to come!
