This -20/-30 stretch is tough. Movement and the outdoors are essential!! So what are some options for calming our wiry children (and ourselves)? Vestibular stimulation can help.

Bouncing or rocking. Swings, trampolines, rocking chairs, lifting, pushing, and pulling. Some people place swings in their living room, have balls to bounce on or have an indoor trampoline The outdoors is our ultimate space but in February in Canada this is harder.

Balanced and Barefoot is a book using occupational therapy tools for children in the outdoors. Vestibular stimulation is a tool they use to promote balance, spatial awareness, reading, athleticism, etc.

I’m thrilled to introduce a new administrator, Jess, who brings with her a wealth of experience - 15 years as an early childhood educator! Jess is paving the way with a unique approach to grounded parenting, offering a fresh perspective that we’re excited to share with our community.

In addition to her educational background, she’s also certified in yoga, qigong, and mindfulness meditation, and has been a wonderful friend and guide on my own personal journey. I can't wait for her to share some of the incredible tools she has taught me. Jess is calm, authentic, and deeply committed to bringing wellness to both parents and children.

I’m so grateful to have her on board with Be Well Kids

Teaching remorse and forgiveness is tricky with our little ones (and big ones)! Here are some ideas to incorporate into your world.

Seeing your child cause tears in another is a difficult moment. Often a caregiver’s immediate reflex is to quickly command “Say you’re sorry!” However, there is far more opportunity to teach children to ‘clean up’ their emotional impact on others when navigated appropriately.
