This is a follow-up to my last video. Both gentle and authoritative parenting have valuable principles, but when taken to extremes, they can create behavior challenges in preschool. The best approach? A balanced mix of both! In this video, we’ll discuss: ✔️ Why gentle parenting sometimes leads to kids who struggle with limits and group expectations ✔️ Why authoritative parenting can sometimes lack emotional validation and flexibility ✔️ How teachers naturally combine these two approaches to create structure while respecting feelings ✔️ Practical tips for parents to prepare their preschoolers for a smooth transition into school By dialing back excessive validation and negotiation while infusing more choices and mutual respect, we can raise children who listen, self-regulate, and adapt easily to school settings. 💬 What’s your parenting style?

Gentle parenting is built on respect, emotional validation, and positive discipline—but what happens when it's taken to the extreme? Many preschool teachers are noticing a rise in behavior challenges among children who struggle with boundaries, frustration tolerance, and group expectations.

Ditch the traditional grid calendar! 🗓️ For preschoolers and Pre-K students, a linear calendar is a much more developmentally appropriate way to explore time, numbers, and sequencing. In this video, I’ll explain: ✅ Why young children struggle with understanding time on a grid calendar ✅ How a **linear calendar** makes it easier for them to see numbers in order and understand sequencing ✅ How this approach naturally supports early math skills like counting, number recognition, and patterning By aligning with how preschoolers process time and numbers, a linear calendar makes learning **more meaningful, engaging, and effective**! Watch to learn how you can implement this simple but powerful change in your classroom. #LinearCalendar #PreschoolMath #DevelopmentallyAppropriate #EarlyChildhoodEducation #PreKTeachingTips
Teaching math to preschoolers doesn’t have to be stressful! In this video, I’ll share **developmentally appropriate strategies** to help young learners build confidence and a love of math. Here’s the approach I use: 1️⃣ Concrete Counting: Start with hands-on activities and manipulatives to make numbers tangible and fun. 2️⃣ Pictorial Counting: Transition to pictures and visuals only when concrete counting is mastered. 3️⃣ Abstract Learning: Introduce numeric symbols and quantities once they’re developmentally ready. All of this is done with a focus on "playful learning" because learning through play is the most effective way for 3-5 year-olds to develop math skills! It’s important to honor where each child is developmentally—avoiding pressure or rushing to abstract concepts helps maintain their love of learning and builds their confidence during this critical stage of self-awareness. If you’re looking for practical, engaging, and age-appropriate math teaching tips, this video is for you! 🌟 #PreschoolMath #LearningThroughPlay #DevelopmentallyAppropriate #EarlyChildhoodEducation #TeachingMath
