Preschool Education & Everything Preschool

You know that kid. He’s the one who is appalling even the other children with his atrocious table behavior. He spills food all over the place, he doesn’t ask before grabbing items, he makes obnoxious bodily noises and he talks with his mouth open. He’s only a child and yet you can’t help but be a little bit repulsed by him. When you look at your own children, perhaps in a public place where you can feel the scrutinizing eyes of other parents’ judging your parenting techniques, do you see this child in place of your own?

There was a time when parents didn’t worry about their preschoolers getting enough exercise. After all, kids that age are a bundle of energy that don’t ever seem to stop being in motion so they naturally get all of the exercise that they need, right? Wrong. It was probably always true that kids needed more exercise they were naturally getting but it’s even truer today, when technology has created more sedentary activities for children as young as toddler age.

With Father’s Day just around the corner I got to thinking of how Father’s Day got started. Since I’m a Mother my first thought is to say that Father’s Day probably started because Men couldn’t swallow the fact that there was a Holiday out there that had NOTHING to do with them. So, of course, these men (or fathers) had to begin their own Holiday. But, that couldn’t be further from the truth. Today I was doing some reading on the Internet and discovered that not only was Father’s Day not started by selfish men, but it wasn’t even started by a man at all!! It was started by a Woman. Here is a little Father’s Day History:

Unless you are part of a very small percentage of the population, you have a television in your home. More likely than not, you have more than one television in your home or at least one TV and a laptop or other computer that can function as a television. And if you have a television and you also have children, you probably also have some television rules in your home. But are they the right rules? How can you know?

Let’s take a look at some common household rules for children regarding television use so that you can get a better grasp on where you fall on the spectrum of parenting regulations about television use in your home.

Check out this excellent post about what makes for a “Good Mom”. I had to share it with my viewers.

A good mom talks to her child. Hearing words and conversations is one of the biggest ways to impact a child’s ability to learn. The more words they hear when they are infants, the more words they will come to understand when they are toddlers and pre-schoolers…

Since preschool aged children are in the process of potty training, it makes sense for the preschool program to include activities which help with the potty training process.  Whether you homeschool your kids or send them off to participate in a formal preschool program, you can provide materials and activity ideas which are supplemental to potty training.  This helps your child more rapidly incorporate potty training into his or her daily life and therefore to pick up on the process more quickly.  Here are some ways that you can achieve this goal: (more...)
