🎨🎉 Fun Friday Challenge for Families and Educators! 🎉🎨 What creative activity brings smiles and excitement to the faces of children around you this week? Share your fun stories or a new idea you've tried! 🌟 Activity Idea: Storytime Theatre at Home or School! 🎭 Gather your children and some favourite toys or stuffed animals to create a story time theatre. Let the kids pick a book, and then act out the story using their toys as characters. It’s a fantastic way to spark creativity, improve storytelling skills, and have loads of fun - all without needing anything more than what you already have at home or in your classroom! Engaging young minds through creative play helps develop their imagination and problem-solving skills. By connecting with children through imaginative activities, we nurture their ability to express themselves and explore the world around them. Join the conversation and let’s inspire each other to create magical moments for our little ones! #CreativeKids #FunFriday #EarlyChildhoodEducation #FamilyTime #EducatorsInspire #ImaginationUnleashed

Rethink the conversation. Every day, millions of parents worldwide ask their kids, 'How was school?' or 'What marks did you get?' But what if we shifted the focus? Imagine the impact of asking, 'What good deed did you do today?' Such a simple question has the power to transform mindsets, encouraging our children to value kindness and empathy as much as academic achievements. It's not just about raising smart kids; it's about nurturing compassionate, thoughtful individuals who are just as invested in the welfare of others as their own success. Let's start today. Ask your child what good they've done, and share the responses. Together, we can make a difference, one question at a time. Your thoughts? Share them below 👇

It’s important to recognize that empathy and being empathetic to others is so much more. It’s also important for adults who work with children to model and to explain to them all the parts of empathy. It’s how children learn and grow.

How we speak to children becomes their inner voice! We have the power to rewrite generations of negative scripts by changing the way we engage with children in times of emotional crisis.
