Positive Guidance 101
Positive guidance is an approach to child-rearing and education that focuses on nurturing a child’s self-esteem and promoting personal growth through empathy, respect, and effective communication. Unlike traditional disciplinary methods that often emphasize punishment, positive guidance aims to teach children self-discipline and responsibility by fostering an understanding of the consequences of their actions. This approach is rooted in the belief that children learn best in environments where they feel respected, understood, and supported.

The Power of Process-Based Art
Art is a universal language that transcends cultures and ages, providing a vital avenue for expression and creativity. In childhood, particularly, art serves as a foundational tool for development, offering a myriad of benefits that extend beyond the creation of visually appealing products. One of the most impactful forms of art in early childhood is process-based art, which emphasizes the creation process over the final product. This article explores the significance of process-based art in childhood, starting from infancy, and highlights why it is an essential component of holistic development.

Reading is Foundational
Reading is everywhere, in everything, all over the world. When you look at statistics surrounding reading throughout the U.S., you may wonder why we are at such a low point in our literacy across the country, especially with copious amounts of research indicating the importance of exposure to literature.

Fostering Child Development: Zone of Proximal Development and Cognitive Skills
As a child grows up, they will go through several different stages of development that will shape them as their own individual person and prepare them for further developmental processes. Cognitive development, or the development of a child’s perception, thinking, learning, and memory is the basis for how a child will continue learning both in school and from the environment around them. In order to build a child’s cognition, adults involved in the child’s learning experiences (relatively parents and their teachers) must foster the child’s cognitive processes, or the change in their thinking, intelligence, and language skills. A specific area of cognitive development which requires instruction and assistance from adults is zone of proximal development. Zone of proximal development, or the zone of proximal development is the term for tasks that are too difficult for children to master alone but can be mastered with assistance from adults or more- skilled children.

Are People Becoming Addicted to Technology?
As people become more dependent on technology, specifically their phones, scientists are starting to wonder to what extent internet or technology addiction can be considered an actual medical disorder. Recently, a mental health hospital in India opened up a wing dedicated towards those with technology addictions, calling it the “technology de-addiction clinic.” They followed the lead of South Korea, China, Taiwan and Singapore who also see technology addiction as a growing mental health problem which needs treatment. Most patients are children being brought in by their parents, usually who are the most concerned when they notice an academic decline. They are linking this addiction to insomnia, depression, and social withdrawal, which could lead to wrongly medicating young children for problems they may not actually have. This can relate to a widely discussed topic of putting young people on drugs to treat issues that may not actually be real issues, like when doctors put children on ADHD medication because they are hyper, even though it may just be an effect of their young age. Technology consumes our society and should not be viewed as a medical issue. Wrongfully medicating young people can lead to actual drug addictions or dependencies, which continues to be a growing issue in our society that needs to be focused on and stopped.

Why Positive Parenting Works
Parenting is one of the most challenging, yet rewarding roles a person can undertake. The way in which parents choose to raise their children significantly impacts their child's development, sense of self, future academic success and relationships. Over the years, various parenting styles have emerged, each with its own philosophy and methods- their own “do’s and don’ts. Among them, positive parenting is a newer parenting style that has gained traction for its empathetic and constructive approach.

The Importance of Parent & Child "Dates"
When I look back on my childhood, some of my fondest memories are on "dates" with my adults (mom, dad, Grandma, Pop, uncles, aunts, etc). Whether it be trips for ice cream, out to breakfast or out somewhere fun, the one-on-one time doing something deviant from my day-to-day routine was always exciting and felt special. Now that I'm a mom, it is so important to me to squeeze in "dates" with my toddler whenever I can! Our favorite dates are those in cozy cafès, where I can enjoy my coffee (while it's actually hot) and my little one can munch on a croissant!
