This girl has her cheese face down to a SCIENCE. I listened to the best podcast the other day (its linked under resources in my stories) about how the fundamental state of being human is being naked, outside, with nothing in your hands •
It talked about how we have moved so far away from that as a human race that it's making us sick. We are missing the sounds of the outdoors that naturally slow down our heartbeat. We are losing the natural bacteria in the dirt that serves a massive purpose in building the microbiome in our gut. We are severely lacking in Vitamin D which is only found in the sun. We get so caught up in work, stress and everyday life that weve lost sight if where we came from.
•
I know I talk a ton about the importance of getting your kids outside but it goes so much deeper than for fun. Get them outside for their health. We were MADE to be outside. We were CREATED to have our feet in the sand. Why do you think vacation feels SO GOOD THAT is your bodies natural state. Get there more often. •
Ok, that is my gift of wisdom for the day. Hope it makes you think!!!
#StoryForYou 1️⃣0️⃣ “During the initial screening of my second pregnancy, I was informed about multiple soft markers of Down Syndrome for my baby. Repeatedly we, my husband and I, were asked if we wanted to investigate it further, and make an informed decision about continuing with the pregnancy. Both of us were clear what we wanted and started preparing ourselves to raise a child with DS (if it came to that). My biggest struggle at that stage was being able to discuss it openly, not that I didn’t want to. On the contrary, I wanted to talk freely and learn more, so that we were better prepared when the baby arrived but in majority of the cases it was the other people who were uncomfortable and proactively consoled me (at least that’s what they thought they were doing), by saying things like, ‘Don’t worry, doctors do this just to scare you’ - ‘Everything is going to be okay’ - ‘Nothing like this will happen’. This is not the first time, I came across a reluctance on the part of the listener/audience to discuss topics that pertain to special needs, psychological or behavioural issues and this made me realize why parents raising children with different needs feels excluded and isolated. This experience gave me a whole new perspective on parenting. Every parent embarks on a very personal journey, some get to do it in the most conventional, known or common way and some take a unique path. Just because a parent chooses to raise a child that could be perceived as different (by some) does not make it a bad/sad/emotionally draining parenting experience. All we have to do is let that parents share their own narrative and just be there for them. As we open ourselves to hearing them out we open ourselves to learning something new and enable the world to be more inclusive.”
@candidlymum talks about a very personal aspect of her motherhood experience. She knits together the importance of having ones own unique journey :)

Your family's mental health matters. Loving relationships are a important protective factor.
Offer hugs, dance, be silly, listen to your child’s ideas with interest.
It all matters very much ❤️ #positiveparenting #parentingtips #capablekids #connectedkids #kindness #cooperation #parenting #parentingmemes #mom #motherhood #positivediscipline #toddlers #raisingkids #attachmentparenting #gentleparenting #behaviormanagement #beyondbehaviormanagement #growthmindset #heartandmind
Here's an approach that fosters trust, partnership and co-regulation. It involves discovering a supportive way to work with your child to dissolve the feelings driving their resistance, until they're happy to be part of the solution.
.
With some forward planning, your child will soon feel able to do more of the things you ask. You can think of it as the Seven C's For Holding An Expectation.
.
7. Care: Responding with care when your child still says no
Use your time to play, have fun and lay a little extra groundwork. To find out what might be underneath their behaviors, consider: .
Your Child: When does your child does want to go to school? Is it about missing you? Is there something that your child doesn't like at school? Are there health or learning concerns that have not been addressed? Did something change in your child's life recently
.
How about you? What comes up for you when they don't want to go? Is it hard kissing your baby goodbye or seeing her grow up? .
Once you have reconsidered and reconnected, you'll be ready to start the process once again. Your child can go back to digging through their sand dune—and sooner or later, you'll both scamper through that tunnel and into less resistance and more fun. .

Filipino Storytime is gaining momentum. We get more and more attendance every month! This month we got 20 guests, kids age ranging from 3 months to 5 years old, and we got moms, dads, titas, and ninangs in the mix!
I’m hoping we can keep this going even after Isabelle is in school age...and I can teach writing and reading in Tagalog. But the Toddler Storytime needs to continue, even if I’m not leading. This is where we need the “Bayanihan Spirit “ to come together as a community and keep the Tagalog Project sustainable. So that other moms, and toddlers of the future can have a place to go and learn about our culture, our language and ultimately about ourselves and what it means to be a Filipino in the diaspora.
I’m calling out for volunteers, Tagalog Speakers in Vallejo, Richmond, Pinole, Hercules, San Pablo...and around the bay Area. If you are pregnant and want to get a head start on teaching your baby in utero, join us! The Tagalog Project is 100% volunteer based, if you or you know someone interested working with children, please send them our way. And I encourage you to start your own Filipino Storytime, ask your librarian if they have a space.
