“I got it”

During our conference on the weekend we learnt a lot about bringing joy into the environment, boosting self esteem, and being present with the child's emotions. One of the examples the presenter provided was the determination a child has when opening their snacks. We have introduced scissors into our meals time to foster a new skill in our friends. This video shows how determined the child can be and how their expectations of open are different then how others may view "open". In the end our friend appeared happy with her achievements and ate her yogurt all up!

If your sending packaged foods for your child, send them un-opened. Your children are always learning and through these simple tasks they boost their self help skills, self esteem, patience, resilience, and fine motor skills!
