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 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

These 3 things mean a ton to kids (especially as t These 3 things mean a ton to kids (especially as they get older). Here’s why 👇🏻1️⃣ Active Listening: One of the most appreciated gestures in respectful parenting is active listening. As children grow older, they value having their thoughts and feelings heard and acknowledged. Taking the time to listen without judgment and showing empathy can foster trust and open communication between parents and children.2️⃣ Setting Clear Boundaries with Explanation: As kids grow, they benefit from clear and consistent boundaries. Ground these boundaries in respectful parenting by explaining the reasons behind them. This helps children understand the rationale behind rules and can reduce power struggles, as they are more likely to cooperate when they see the purpose behind the limits set for them.3️⃣ Validation of Emotions: Children appreciate when their parents validate their emotions, even if they don’t always agree with them. Letting your child know that it’s okay to feel a certain way helps them develop emotional intelligence and feel supported in their journey to understand and manage their feelings.SHARE this with someone who has kids ages 6+ 🙌🏻#parenting #emotionalintelligence #raisingresilientkids #raisinglifelonglearners #raisinghumans #motherhood #respectfulparenting

It holds true for babies, toddlers and big kids… It holds true for babies, toddlers and big kids… (it’s even true for me as an adult 😂)This is one of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received and hearing it just made so much sense to me.Children all over the world are naturally drawn to water and there is a reason—it’s very stimulating to the senses but in a way that’s calming and helps with regulation.Have you found this to be true for your kids (or yourself!?)#parenting #parentingadvice #parentinghacks #sensoryplay #natureplay #naturekids #outdoorplay #waterplay #wateractivities
