Preschool Behaviour

At home, parents can remove noisy distractions and devices, set up a quiet space to practise sitting and listen to their breathing together.

We bend over backwards to give them every advantage in life. Well, that’s all well and good, Mom and Dad, but there’s something missing in that list of admirable character traits: resilience. And the question is, in this era of parenting, are we letting our kids fall down enough?

Although most parents worry about not giving their children enough attention, giving too much attention has its drawbacks too.

When life gets busy, it’s easy to focus more on knocking items off of the to-do list and less on what you need to do | for yourself. And this isn’t just true for parents; kids can get overwhelmed by life too.

Is your child "so shy" that they won't even speak? It may be selective mutism.

Some kids just don’t show interest in learning letters, colours and shapes.

When children – and more often girls – hold themselves to too high a standard, mental health issues can be the result.

For kids who don’t love change, moving is more scary than anything, particularly if it comes with a new school.

The important thing to ensure as parents is that your children are in healthy peer groups.
