Creative Corner

This website, storybird has created a great way for parents and children to create wonderful, original stories together using colorful and dynamic pictures provided for you.

Storytelling is a great way for parents to get a glimpse of life through their child’s eyes. It is also a great way for a parent to ‘teach’ a lesson to a young child without coming across as ‘preachy’ or confrontational.

All of that and it’s fun too!

Mindful Parenting

“[Mindful Parenting is when]…parents intentionally bring moment-to-moment awareness to the parent-child relationship. This is done by developing the qualities of listening with full attention when interacting with their children, cultivating emotional awareness and self-regulation in parenting, and bringing compassion and nonjudgmental acceptance to their parenting interactions…[…this allows] parents to stop and fundamentally shift their awareness in order to view their present-moment parenting experience within the context of the long-term relationship that they have with their child, as well as attend to their child’s needs, while exercising self-regulation and wise choice in their actions.” **Written by Larissa Duncan (Duncan, Coatsworth and Greenberg May 2009)**
