What to teach your preschooler in order for them to succeed in school: Social Studies- Part III We continue this series of what to teach your 2 – 3 year old while they are home, so that by the time they are ready to start school, they are the most equipped to thrive. Research is clear on what ensures a child’s success at school, and it is not teaching the alphabet, writing of numbers or obsessing over colour names that sets your child up for success at school, but it is much more ‘mundane’ activities that does. The critical building blocks to becoming a successful reader, speller and writer, a ..read more

5 Concepts to Teach your Late-Talker (instead of the alphabet or colours)- Part II Getting a child who is late in talking to start talking can feel like an exercise in futility, but this is only because most parents do not actually focus on the ‘right’ concepts to teach.
