Preschool Therapist

Say Hi to Bruno! He dreams of becoming an animal assisted play therapy dog. This is the start of our journey.

When you hear that your kid might be being mean to another kid or even bullying them, it’s normal to panic and to want to come down hard on them. However, if you can take a second and ask them questions to learn the story, you can get a lot of information that might help you build a better plan to stop the behavior. In this part, I give an example to talk with your kid about what is going on, listen, and get a full picture. Next we can start to do something with what we have learned.

Have you had your mind blown by your preschooler today? I have.
Kids don’t really have a conception of time and being in a hurry. That hurry is our adult brains worried about deadlines and tardiness. Kids, especially 5 and younger, don’t have that. They care about the important things like spending time with us, playing, and laughing.

The best way to address tantrums is figuring out why they happen.
I get asked a lot, but “I don’t know why they happen it’s just when…”
- they get told no
- they have to do something they don’t want to
- etc.
the thing is. That is the why. At least it’s the groundwork for the why. We need to narrow it down like I do in this video in order to really be able to address it.

Ask grandma for help? Reduce standards? Those are not actual solutions to solve child care costs. 0-5 year olds are such an important time and deserve the absolute best care. Kamala Harris has some policy around this: universal preschool, child tax credit increase, paid family leave, and investing federal money into child care.

When people are misinformed then share that misinformation at a level that is dangerous. 🤦‍♂️

It’s easy to make kids gets stressed and cry. Stop doing it.
