Anyone can change the world when they believe they were meant to.

Not always in ways the world applauds,
but in ways the soul remembers.

Sometimes it is the world for one person that shifts.
Sometimes it is one person who shifts the world.

Lasting impact is not measured in scale,
but in the moments that leave a permanent mark;
a spark lit,
a path cleared,
a life forever altered by having been seen and believed in.

We will always empower children to believe in the impact that they are capable of, the imprint that comes from within, not from age or status.

Today we honored the Lunar New Year with a celebration.

Children were able to witness tradition, movement, and storytelling come to life.

Cultural celebrations provide opportunities for children to learn about the world beyond their own experiences, building awareness, and respect.

The more you know as a parent,
the more educated decisions you will make.

Children do not need screens.

Children need boredom.
Children need opportunity.

"The more time Children spend with people, play, movement, and books, the stronger these foundational circuits become."

Children need adults to make decisions that are sometimes not easy,
or convenient,
or least demanding,
because often that is what best services our children.

Via We Skoolhouse and is explained so well by them.

"This image comes from an MRI study of preschoolers (Hutton et al., JAMA Pediatrics, 2020). It shows how screen use is linked to the wiring of the developing brain.

The top row (blue) highlights where more screen time is tied to weaker white matter organization. White matter is the brain’s wiring system that connects regions so they can work efficiently.

The bottom row (red) shows where heavier screen use is linked to weaker insulation on those connections. Insulation, or myelin, helps brain signals travel quickly, like the protective coating on an electrical wire.

Why does this matter? These highlighted areas include pathways for language, early literacy, and self-regulation. Children with higher screen scores also performed lower on language and literacy tests.
This is not a before and after of one child. It is a group-level finding. The message is clear. In the early years the brain is wiring for life. The more time children spend with people, play, movement, and books, the stronger these foundational circuits become."

This trend is not a warning about Gen Z. It is a message to society. Children and teenagers need calmer environments, richer offline learning, meaningful social connection, and enough rest to support healthy brain development. Intelligence is not fixed. It grows where the environment allows it to breathe.

Recent research tracking cognitive performance across generations shows a surprising shift: Gen Z is scoring lower on several standardized measures of intelligence compared to millennials. This does not mean today’s young people are less capable. It reflects a complex mix of environmental, social, and technological pressures shaping developing brains.

Scientists point to reduced reading time, chronic stress, sleep disruption, and heavy digital immersion as major contributors. These factors affect memory, attention span, and deep learning—skills traditional intelligence tests rely on. What appears as a decline is often the result of environments that overwhelm the brain’s ability to process information in meaningful ways.

Researchers also note that Gen Z excels in areas not measured by older intelligence frameworks, such as digital fluency, rapid adaptation, and emotional awareness. But the drop in analytical and verbal scores signals that modern lifestyles may be taxing the nervous system more than previous generations experienced.

This trend is not a warning about Gen Z. It is a message to society. Children and teenagers need calmer environments, richer offline learning, meaningful social connection, and enough rest to support healthy brain development. Intelligence is not fixed.

Our toddlers are busy chasing rainbows this month as they explore, recognize, and even taste their way through the color wheel.

Through hands on experiences, they are building language, strengthening observation skills, and making connections between what they see and the world around them.

We heard there was a 2016 trend...

While we love a good trend,
we love a full circle moment even more!

From students at school,
to teachers at school.

Young children learn best through hands-on experiences. It supports brain development, allows children to take ownership of their learning, and respects childhood as a meaningful stage of life.

We are proud to be an approved TEFA school, honoring parent voice, choice, and partnership in early learning.

Parents can start submitting applications for the Texas Education Freedom Accounts program on Feb. 4. Families inquiring about the TEFA program and private schools, TPSA has created this section of our website designed to help families learn more: https://texasprivateschools.org/families/

The whole-child approach focuses on all areas of development. Great read.

💡 Kindergarten readiness isn’t just about academics—it’s also about emotional readiness and self-regulation.

We believe in this so much that we wrote a blog post with a free printable detailing the foundational skills kids need BEFORE academics. You can find that here:

https://theinspiredtreehouse.com/the-kindergarten-readiness-skills-your-child-really-needs/

🧠 Skills like managing big feelings, following routines, and calming down when upset are just as important for success in school as academics. Helping kids build these skills early sets the stage for confident, happy learners! 🌟
