Everything changed when I stopped expecting education at home to look like education inside the four walls of a classroom 🙌🏻As a former teacher I had certain expectations and visions of what homeschooling looked like…until I started homeschooling 😂And then it really hit me that literally everything I do with my kids every day is learning. Every trip we take. Every book we read. Every meal we make. Every question we answer. It’s ALL “education” and it’s enough ❤️Have you considered homeschooling!? What’s holding you back?#unschooling #homeschooling #formerteacher #parenting #consciousparenting #naturekids

Pikler triangles are a bigger toy investment BUT y

Pikler triangles are a bigger toy investment BUT you will reap the reward of HOURS of play for a huge span of ages (I'm talking ages 6+ months to at least age 10).Here are 3 reasons we love Pikler triangles!✅ Physical Development: Pikler triangles are fantastic tools for enhancing a child's physical development. They provide a safe space for kids to climb, balance, and develop their motor skills. Climbing promotes strength, coordination, and balance, all of which are crucial for a child's overall physical development.✅ Independence and Confidence: Having a Pikler triangle at home encourages independence and self-confidence in children. As they navigate the structure on their own, they learn to make decisions and solve problems. Overcoming challenges and achieving small milestones on the Pikler triangle boosts their self-esteem and resilience.✅ Creative Play: Pikler triangles are versatile play tools that can transform into anything a child's imagination desires. They can become a castle, a fort, a spaceship, or anything else a child dreams up. This open-ended play fosters creativity, imaginative thinking, and storytelling abilities. It also encourages social interaction if children play with siblings or friends, promoting cooperative play and teamwork.Comment PIKLER and I'll DM you the link to our favorite climber 🥰#grossmotorplay #grossmotortoy #playroominspo #childdevelopment #toysforkids

Research tell us kids need FEWER toys in order to have HIGHER quality play.🫣 AND if you feel overwhelmed by the amount of toys in your home, imagine how your child feels…🙅‍♀️Too many toys is overstimulating and overwhelming—and actually inhibits play.😳 Most families I work with could get rid of 75% of the stuff they have in their play space and that one simple change alone would make a significant difference in terms of getting their kids to play independently.Need help decluttering your toys? For a limited time comment DECLUTTER and I’ll send you the link to my $7 class “The Power of Less: Decluttering Toys to Promote Independent Play.”#playroom #playroominspo #toysforkids #openendedtoys #playroomorganization #parentingtips
