"Once they understand cardinality, we see big improvements on a whole range of conceptual number tasks that don’t even have to do with counting."
After years of studying 3- and 4-year olds, Barbara Sarnecka has zeroed in on the importance of cardinality.

If we push a kid past the peak, he crashes, and his brain stores a memory of what you just forced him to do. So the next time you try to force him, he's going to go into fight or flight.

"When children are highly stressed, or in fight or flight, they shift from social or learning brain to survival brain. This makes it harder for them to think, make decisions, understand others and express themselves." #WhatWeBelieve

I love this..” REACH them, then TEACH them”❤️

[Bethany Hill🌟#JoyfulLeaders @bethhill2829]

Hey principal, what are you encouraging the first two weeks of school?

Relationships?
Building community?
Procedures?
Common language?
Family engagement?
Connections?

Remember the WHY...reach them, then we can teach them!

“What makes children get better from a trauma is #connection to other human beings.... those kinds of interactions end up being much more therapeutic & healing than many of the other things that we try to do with kids.” - @BDPerry
