5 Lessons about Inclusivity That Young Kids Should Learn in Preschool

*Collaborative Post

The modern world is more interconnected and culturally diverse than ever before. Consequently, inclusivity and respect for diversity have never been more important. Learning these values from an early age enriches one’s understanding of the myriad ways people live, think, and interact within the global community.

World Book Day is just around the corner and this year my child decided to really test my crafting skills. Would he go as the train driver from one of his favourite books? Oh no. How about the park ranger from another? No way! Could he go in something we had lying around the house? Nope. He HAD to be Mr Tickle no question about it. After a bit of Googling I realised that this was one World Book Day costume that would require a full make and here is how I brought Mr Tickle to life…

How to Make a Harry and The Bucketful of Dinosaurs World Book Day Costume

World Book Day, that day of the year that sends parents into a frantic hunt for the ideal costume for their little ones. Now, I love a good dressing up day and I also love creating the look myself rather than going shop bought – for both environmental and budget reasons – so coming up with a World Book Day costume idea for me is pretty good fun. However, due to lockdowns and the introduction of pyjama days instead of a costume, we’ve not had many proper World Book Days just yet but I wanted to share some that I have really enjoyed coming up with and this Harry and The Bucketful of Dinosaurs costume is such a simple choice.

Signs Your Child Is Being Bullied

*This article was developed via a partnership with BetterHelp

As a parent, the last thing you want to hear is that your child is being bullied or harmed in any way. Whether they’re being bullied in person or online (known as cyberbullying), the effects of these experiences can be far-reaching, extending to their mental, physical, and emotional health. Without the right guidance, support, and intervention, these impacts can carry into adulthood, making it crucial to confront situations involving bullying with empathy and encouragement. 

However, children may not always be open with their parents, leading many to feel powerless in providing support. Kids may also keep quiet out of fear of being labeled a snitch or making the situation worse by telling someone. Therefore, it’s essential for parents to recognize the signs of bullying, as this is what can allow them to intervene.

In this article, we’ll cover several potential indicators of bullying as well as what you can do to help your child through these situations.

How Positive Parenting Can Enrich Children’s Lives

*This post was developed via a partnership with BetterHelp

When raising a child, every parent approaches it a bit differently. One of the struggles you might face as a new parent is deciding on the type of parenting style you’d like to use as your child grows up. While there’s not a one-size-fits-all approach to parenting, some strategies may be more effective than others, such as positive parenting.

Research has shown that positive parenting can lead to better mental health outcomes, fewer behavioral concerns, stronger school performance, and healthier relationships. The success of this parenting style often relies on parents’ ability to be consistent and gentle. No matter where you’re at in your parenting journey, it could be helpful to consider a new way of raising your child.

In this article, we’ll discuss how positive parenting can help you raise a self-assured, respectful, and resilient child while also promoting closeness between the two of you.
