Kindergarten Ready: What Really Matters in Child Development - Stress, Anxiety, and Uncertainty in COVID times

Kindergarten Ready: What Really Matters in Child Development

In this episode, let's talk about stress, AUGH... More specifically, anxiety, uncertainty, and structure for children given stressful situations such as, gee I don't know, how about a global pandemic...Did I say AUGH?

A tad more serious this time around- promise I'll come up with some light-hearted stories more related to being kindergarten ready next time- but it seemed only appropriate that we broach this subject now.

CORRECTION: at the 22:20 mark I refer to Maude as being 4 years old- my bad- she is 5!

Vocabulary Part II: Techniques to capitalize on daily language learning opportunities

In this episode, I boast of my progress made in overcoming some demons that reside in my version of Garage Band (still a ways to go, but getting there), and we continue the discussion of vocabulary. This week the focus is on specific ways that we can talk to kids and turn everyday activities into opportunities for language learning.
