Now she embarrassed because he impulsively reacted to being embarrassingly shoved into a cake. We gotta stop provoking these babies for laughs. This is the complete opposite of soft parenting. This is textbook schoolhouse bullying.
Do you see the results of solft parenting? .Imagine the kind of person he's going to grow up to be😳

Love it!!! .Fun fact: Noisy children tend to develop stronger communication skills and higher self-esteem. When kids feel free to be loud, it shows they feel safe and confident in their environment.

The fact that Pilates was rebranded into a workout for healthy/wealthy yt women is. Joseph Pilates created Pilates in a prison for sick prisoners. AND it was his understudy, Kathy Stanford Grant (a black woman) that refined it. She was an acclaimed choreographer.

Child development gem: Kids enjoy roughhousing because it stimulates the brain to release endorphins, natural pain and stress-fighting chemicals, and oxytocin, which makes them feel comforted through physical contact with others. It also builds body awareness and confidence. ❤️.

My 3 yo take this twin thing seriously. I wonder if it’s because her brother is nonverbal and she feels the need to make sure his needs are met too or simply a twin thing. “Mommy, me and brother want a snack”. “Mommy, me and brother sad”. “Mommy, me and brother sleepy”. 🥹😭.

Developmentally, the most important learning phase is in early childhood. Napping aids in the consolidation/sorting of memories for children. It allows memories to move from one area of the brain to the next to free up space for more information. Our babies need their naps.
For the brain development of children, the desks turn into beds for children to nap while at school in China.

If a child tells you they feel like they don’t fit in, stop responding with trite phrases about “individuality/standing out”. It is a cry for community/friendship. Children desire connection and shared human experiences too.
