Tips on Helping Your Child
Learn to Cooperate
| |
Tips on Helping Your Child Learn to Cooperate | Cooperation is the ability to balance one's own needs with someone else's. We often think of cooperation as children doing what adults want. That is compliance. True cooperation means a joint effort-a give and take that is mutually satisfying. To develop a cooperative spirit in children, we need to help them understand how our requests and rules are good for everyone. | | | |

The Pyramid Model for Promoting Social Emotional Competence in Infants and Young Children
| |
|
What is the Pyramid Model?
The Pyramid Model is a conceptual framework of evidence-based practices for promoting young children’s healthy social and emotional development.
This model has been adopted by the Massachusetts Department of Education.
The first step to helping children manage their emotions is their ability to identify them, visually and or verbally. You can help your child with growth in this area by using the chart you see below. You can attach it to the refrigerator and use a clothespin to have your child “check-in” and clip the clothespin to image that illustrates how they are feeling. (if you need us to mail you a chart, please contact tdesnoyers@paceccw.org)

- Measure how tall it is.
- Put it on a scale to weigh it.

Extension Activity
Enjoy the wonderful story “The Biggest Pumpkin Ever” with your child. Then try some activities inspired by the book. It is a great book to read any time of year, but it is perfect for Fall.
WHEN YOU ARE READING
Take your time with this book. Enjoy the illustrations and encourage your child to tell you what he sees in the pictures. Ask questions like
- How big do you think the pumpkin will grow?
- Why do you think both mice chose that particular pumpkin?
- Why is that pumpkin growing bigger than all the others?
- What do you think will happen next?
- What would you do if you had an enormous pumpkin?

Most importantly, just have a discussion about the book! Whether it's initiated by you or your child, a nice warm chat about a book will build interest in literacy, great communication skills, and most importantly connection between you and your child that will benefit ALL!!!!

Why is play and learning important?
Play helps to nurture imagination and give a child a sense of adventure. Through this, they can learn essential skills such as problem solving, working with others, sharing and much more. In turn, this helps them develop the ability to concentrate.

Science & Design for Kids: Recycled Bird Feeder Mobile | I've been obsessing over all things mobile ever since receiving a hand made frog mobile as a baby shower gift. As a designer I was already predisposed to liking them, after all aren't Alexander Calder's mobiles every design snob's dream art piece? Of course I'd need a proper place to hang one as well, but I digress.... | | | |
Cómo ayudar a los niños pequeños a canalizar su agresividad | Pregúntele a cualquier padre si quiere que su hijo sea una persona agresiva y es probable que reciba más de una respuesta. Después de todo, la agresividad se relaciona con comportamientos tanto aprobados como desaprobados en nuestra mente y en nuestra sociedad: tanto con la energía y el propósito que nos ayudan a dominar activamente las dificultades de la vida como con las acciones ofensivas y las fuerzas destructivas. | | | |
El comportamiento desafiante en los primeros años | Este es el período del desarrollo, en que el bebé comienza a comprender que es una persona distinta de usted y naturalmente desea buscar mayor independencia y control de su mundo. Por supuesto, el problema es que si bien el deseo de ser ellos mismos está en su punto máximo, los niños aún no logran tener autocontrol. | | | |
