Learning a second language is a life skill that improves both cultural awareness and cognitive function.
But how can you effectively teach your kids a second language if you don’t speak it or don’t speak it well?

Sometimes it can feel like life gets so busy I lose track of my daughter in all the chaos.
I am a busy mom but it wasn’t always that way.
It used to be just us all day every day, but then I opened a home daycare and life got exponentially busier. It started to feel like I was disconnected from her, like we lived on different planets.
That feeling was really yucky and I wanted to fix it.

I have an almost 4-year-old and lately it’s been incredibly challenging to handle her big meltdowns.
The ones where she’s wailing non-stop while flailing on the floor, occasionally standing up to hit me on my legs.
The type where I’d be a little bit embarrassed if there were other parents around, witnessing my so-called incompetence as a mother.
It’s very tiring and now that she’s older and bigger, it’s taking a bit longer for her to settle.

How do you know if your toddler is ready to move from a crib to a bed?
Most children will move from their crib to a toddler bed or regular bed between 18 months and three years old.
Many sleep experts recommend keeping your toddler in their crib for as long as possible.

Did you blink your eyes and now your child is approaching the age of the beginning of kindergarten?
I did! Did you just get done registering them for school? Did that thought make you panic?
Are you breathing heavily now?
Stop, take a breath mama, we can get there together!

Have you ever just had one of those days?
A day when you question where you may have gone wrong? I definitely have them from time to time.
Sometimes when I have what I think is a great idea, and then it turns into a big fail.
Sometimes when I feel like I just got it all together, and then the rug is pulled out from under me.

Learning in lockdown is a struggle.
It’s difficult for us parents, it’s difficult for our children and it’s difficult for the teachers.

Children often need help in coping with their emotions and feelings.
They are not that experienced and not physically ready to do that on their own.
They may feel anxious, angry, stressed, excited or impatient and they show that right away – and usually in the ways which are not pleasant for their parents or other people around them.

Picture this –
Your kids scoop exemplary grades in school. Their language is rich and their oratory skills dumbfounding.
They are draped in an aura of confidence like a bathrobe. Their brain is analytical; constantly dabbling in topics well above their age.
The frosting on the cake? That has got to be their social skills! They joyously interact with their peers and adults.
