Teaching life skills, one moment at a time.
While spending time in our Twos classroom today, I had the opportunity to watch something pretty amazing. A child was feeling frustrated, and before an adult stepped in to solve the problem, they began using one of the calming strategies their teachers have been practicing with them.
It was a wonderful reminder that even our youngest learners can begin to develop the skills they need to recognize feelings, regulate emotions, and care for themselves when they're upset.
The teachers in this classroom have been intentionally teaching strategies such as taking deep breaths, asking for a break, reading a book, hugging a favorite toy, and other calming techniques. Seeing those lessons put into practice was a powerful example of how children learn through consistent guidance and support.
Families, we encourage you to try some of these strategies at home, too! When children practice calming skills in multiple environments, they become more confident using them when they need them most.
We are so proud of our teachers and the important social-emotional skills they help build every day.
