We've all said it after a Christmas or birthday party: "They enjoyed playing with the box more than the toy that was inside it." Kids don't need all the latest and greatest high tech toys and stuff. It's the simplest things that boost play and creativity the most 🌿

Sterkte vir die nuwe skooljaar wat more afskop maats, ouers en juffies 🌿

Ons huis se 'check-lysie'. Mag die begin van die jaar sag wees vir al ons mammas en pappas daar buite.

Forcing kids into something they are not ready for will just lead to dysregulation on both ends. Adjust and adapt the activities in a way that they can benefit from them optimally 🌿

Meet them where they are ❤️

Decembers are for cleaning up, clearing out, organizing and (best of all) making space for new toys 🤩

Love love LOVE this! Standardized tests has it's place in the world, but it needs to be used and interpreted with caution, because great minds DON'T always think alike 🌿

Every child learns differently.
Every child thinks differently.
And brilliance shows up in creativity, curiosity, empathy, problem-solving, and passion—not just numbers on a score sheet.

If your child doesn’t fit the mold, it’s not a flaw.
It’s a sign they were built for something uniquely theirs. 💛

Graad 3 maatjie: "Tannie moet die naweek gaan rus."
Ek: "Hoekom?"
Graad 3 maatjie: "Want tannie het al die harde werk gedoen die jaar."
Ek: (begin amper tjank)

Jy en al my ander maatjies maak elke bietjie harde werk die moeite werd en met trane in my oë en 'n warm gevoel in my hart sê ek dankie vir jou en elke maatjie en hulle mamma en pappa wat nét so hard gewerk het soos ek. Julle almal is goud werd 🌿
