09: Let your child know how capable they are. With Simone Davies

Have you set up independent activities for your little ones in the home? Listen in to learn how to help them get involved with daily life tasks such as food preparation and tidying up. Happy to have Simone Davies back to finish up the conversation we started in Episode 02. For her full introduction, see the show notes from that episode. Simone has been working with toddlers for over a decade and I’m excited to dig deeper into how we can truly respect our youngest humans.   What we talked about: Why saying ‘good job!” can be a demotivator. The importance of allowing time for your child to develop. Language development and avoiding using baby talk. Ways to involve children in daily life tasks. Finding ways to work with children by helping them find solutions. Letting them know how capable they truly are.    Things to Remember: "Don’t look at your child to fill your cup. Fill your own." - Simone Davies "It’s the process they are learning, not the product that is important."  - Simone Davies   Click here for Show Notes and more from Jeanne-Marie Paynel, Your Parenting Mentor.
