Once adolescents have developed fluent reading skills, they can use these to expand their knowledge of the world and critical thinking skills.

Reading is fundamental life skill, helping with knowledge, empathy, confidence and more. Lay the foundations for literacy now.

Reading skills help out in life in profound practical ways, and can also be a source of great enjoyment. No matter your child's pace of learning, here are some ways to work together and encourage literacy.

The practice of reflecting back (with self-compassion) on how events went, how you felt about them, and what you hope for going forward, is essential to self-esteem and helps make better choices.

Positive body image is important for teens' self-esteem and confidence, but this can be a very fraught in our culture. How you speak and behave at home can help protect them.

The toddler years are when many sensory sensitivities come to light. In a world filled with new sensations, it can quickly get overwhelming.

Children have a natural drive toward growing their capability, but sometimes things get in the way. How can we strengthen their resolve to take on difficult topics and tasks, such as homework?

Infants and toddlers are naturally curious, ready to explore the world around them.  How you respond to their exploration and curiosity will set the tone for future learning.

The real benefits of creativity kids are internal: getting into the flow state, developing flexibility, trusting their inner voice, growing in competency, and realizing their own vision, among others.

Besides being lots of fun, imaginary play and dress up have important cognitive and emotional benefits for our kiddos. They deserve not only your full support, but engagement as well!

Adolescents are trying out a range of personas and roles as they explore their own identity. Supporting their explorations will allow you to know your child more deeply.

You may be pleasantly shocked to learn how much your kiddo can actually do their own time-keeping and routine-following.
