I just love this so much. When the dad says, "REALLY?" 😂 Reciprocity starts in infancy.

When you can’t find Ñ, you make your own with a spare letter I! Smarty pants preschoolers.

Also sometimes they ask if you still love them by demonstrating misbehavior. It’s a sneaky little test. “I love you no matter what.” (After a few deep breaths because it’s frustrating when they act like jerks!)

Beautiful play-based interaction. Such joy at the end!

“We’re down by one point…” 🏀 Dozens of you tagged me yesterday on this lovely video of a family infusing a little dramatic play into their toddler’s indoor basketball practice. There’s so much to love here. Our hero’s enthusiastic high five and “Yes, Coach!” had me cheering along, even before the joyful celebration at the end. So fantastic to see the whole family celebrating his success. Watch his face when his parents react. He’s just so delighted. Fully expect to see this little star take over the NBA in 2046. This sweet family interaction via joyaking07 on TT.

Sometimes, when you can’t move forward, take a step back. What do you do for self care?

This is my petition to bring felt board activities back to early childhood! A big hit in morning meeting, small groups, AND individually. (Feeding the bugs to the frogs counts as imitating play and pretending, right?!)

When a kid comes to get you from across the room to show you their hospital and “zoom” (zoo), you take a picture. Building with accessories.

If you’re wondering how to get a group of preschoolers to play at a table together, can I recommend a bin of absolutely random little figurines?

Me: "ouch!" (as I banged my back on the tiny child size chair I was sitting on) Student, age 3: "ohhhh, you ok honey?" She clearly learned empathy from a caregiver who calls her honey! How we treat children is how they will learn to treat others.
