On today’s episode of what Aria’s been up to…She has been working on fixing things around the house.Do you have “jobs” around the house for your young ones to help with?This is why pretending to fix things is great for young kids:It helps to strengthen their fine motor skills.It helps develop their language skills. Ask them questions about what they are doing? Why? It increases their imagination. Nowadays, kids are more than happy to sit and watch other kids play games. But, not when we encourage them to use their imagination.Do your kids like “fixing” things around the house? ... See MoreSee Less

If you answered MANNERS, you would be right.You might be thinking, what? You usually talk about learning skills or getting kids ready for school.I know, but today I want to talk about something that has been plaguing me in my own motherhood journey.Recently, I’ve started to notice that Aria has been leaving the PLEASE off of her statements.Her typical phrase is, “Mama, can you get me a drink.”While you might think that is fine, to me it feels like a demand. So, I tell her that she is missing the special word.Sometimes she gets upset with me, but she eventually comes around and says it with the added please.My top tips for getting your child to use manners are:1️⃣ Do not just jump at whatever they want. Make them wait until they say the magic word.2️⃣ Practice what you preach. If you want your kids to use manners, then you have to show them how to use manners.3️⃣ Start young. Aria learned please and thank you at a very young age. The importance is to keep up with them.Do you think manners are important too? ... See MoreSee Less

If I can do this, so can you!Listen, as a teacher I know how to teach other people’s kids.I could do that in my sleep..But when it comes to teaching my own kid…That is where the struggle happens..When I am interested in teaching her, isn’t necessarily the time she is interested in learning..What I want to teach her, isn’t always what she wants to learn about then..I now know the struggle that some parents talk about when working at home with their child..Enter my subscription box. 📦 .The Tiny Tikes Learning Box®️has been a lifesaver in my own life in more ways than one.Instead of worrying about what type of activity to do next, it is already picked and all the materials are organized for us..Aria loves picking her daily activity and I love that it is something she is having fun with but LEARNING as well..Do you think this would be helpful to you and your family too? ...

Do you know how to Teach your kids rhyming words?This is an important skill that most Kindergarteners do not know upon entering Kindergarten.So, how can you give your kids a head start?Read books that have rhyming words in them. Stop after each page and talk about the words that rhyme. See if you kids can come up with other words that rhyme.Play a rhyming game. If you are driving in the car and you see a house. Say, “Can you give me some other words that sound like house?” See how many your kids can get before switching words.Play a matching game. These cute little chick have rhyming words on them. Aria loves to play concentration where she flips two over to see if they rhyme. It is a great way to practice this skill in a fun way.This activity is included in the Summer Tiny Tikes Learning Box which is on sale now! Make sure to get yours before they sell out!! ...
