Parents,

When you meet your child’s teacher in the coming weeks, be sure to hug and thank them. I guarantee if you were to drive by any school right now, you would find 10+ cars in the parking lot.

Teachers are tirelessly working off the clock to perfect every little detail so that your child has a wonderful school year.

Teachers, you really are incredible and you make the world go round.

Thank. A. Teacher.

Attendance matters!

Let’s talk about the development of self regulation.

You may have seen this recent TikTok trend in which parents covertly film themselves placing candy in front of their young children, then contrive a reason to walk away… instructing the child not to eat any until they return.

It’s interesting to watch the results, most of which depict (slightly younger) children contemplating the directive briefly, if at all, and then beginning to eat the candy.

But this little one is different.

Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky proposed that self-regulation (the ability to control one’s impulses) emerges in parallel with the development of symbolic thought - and begins with the use of private or “self-directed” speech.

That’s exactly what we’re seeing here.

Asked not to eat the candy in her mother’s absence, this little one uses spoken language as a tool to help regulate her own behavior.

She repeats her mother’s instruction over and over, actively reminding herself of mom’s directive for almost the entirely of her absence. While she mimes and contemplates eating the chocolates, she ultimately finds success with the support of a newly minted cognitive tool. 🧠

A lovely illustration of developmental theory in practice.

Have you ever noticed your child using self-directed speech? What did it help them to accomplish?

There’s something so exciting about brand new teachers’ classrooms and watching them get it ready all summer long. So much wonder. So much self-drive. So much innocence.

The sad part is when we see a new teacher lose that because they don’t feel supported during their first year.

Support your new teachers.
🔺Check on them daily.
🔸Model lessons for them.
🔺Provide them an automatic coaching cycle with the instructional coach on day 1.
🔸Provide specific feedback.
🔺Model the first phone call home.
🔸Pre-plan their first parent conf and do it with them.
🔺Simply ask, “How can I help?” And ask often.

Teachers will be more likely to stay in the profession when they feel supported. Plain and simple.

What did I miss?

The research is clear: Let the children play—and not just during the summertime! If you want smart, healthy, well-rounded children, it pays to invest in recess.
