Emotional regulation is key to critical thinking in kids.

By learning to manage their emotions, children can focus on problem-solving, evaluating evidence, and making informed decisions.

Let's prioritize #EmotionalRegulation in our education systems! #CriticalThinking

This amazing child.

@chanspirations Such a hot tip 🔥

[Jess Lehane @HappyLittleHea2]

I just found out that toddler taste buds change every 2 weeks 🤯

I will pass down this knowledge to my toddlers.

Surely, if they know their taste buds change so often, they'll be much more willing to re-try food they didn't like before.

Let's hope anyway 😅

Life update:

Sadly, my partner’s friend was hit by a car last week and has debilitating injuries. It has been just awful.

@justincgohn @Theholisticpsyc Helping others is great, but if your motivation is just to make yourself feel better, you might be avoiding your own problems.

@Theholisticpsyc So true! Luckily I have a partner who cannot sweep issues under the rug (like I do) and he has taught me so much about how to have uncomfortable conversations. I have a long way to go, but I'm so grateful that I have him to push this and help me grow 🌟

How to Teach Kids to Trust Themselves 🧒🏽👧🏻

TL;DR:

To teach kids to trust themselves:

2. Encourage them to make choices
3. Celebrate their successes
4. Allow them to make mistakes
5. Model self-trust.

This ongoing process builds confidence and helps children thrive.
