Try these conversation starters to help your child to better understand their feelings. 😟😐😁Take turns answering them. Emotions are a big concept for children to grasp, and hearing examples from your perspective are important. 😀
❓ How many different emotions can we name?
❓ Talk about a time when you were feeling (insert emotion).
❓ What helps you feel better when you feel sad or angry?
❓ How can you tell if someone feels upset?
❓ What could you do to help cheer up a friend?

Guilt-Free TV Viewing for Kids
Kiddie Academy
October 22 at 2:30 PM ·
As parents, it’s easy to feel guilty when we resort to using TV to entertain or educate our kids. But are we being too hard on ourselves when we do that? The short answer is, “Yes.”
Here are our recommendations for guilt-free viewing for your child:
We're talking about Being Thankful this month in Character Essentials. ❤️ Here's and idea: Encourage your child to talk about what her or she appreciates about your home! 🏡

As parents, we can lay the foundations of pride, respect and curiosity to help even our youngest children develop an appreciation for celebrating Black history now and throughout their lives.
Alphabet knowledge comes with practice :)
Exploring the world around :)
Learning about dental hygiene. Look at the creative model the teachers created to teach our 2 years old friends how to floss :)
This month in Character Essentials, we’re learning to stay calm, flexible and resilient when things take time.
Our teachers use games, books and dramatic play time to teach kids about being patient.
Learning how to be patient isn't easy! In this clever book by Liz Garton Scanlon and Audrey Vernick, a little boy discovers that “five minutes” can feel different depending on what you’re doing. A fun, relatable story all families will enjoy.
Our caring teachers are always ready to help your child learn and thrive! #KiddieAcademyChicago #LearnOn

Our approach to early education is to capture the momentum of curiosity and involve parents in every minute of it. Hear from real Kiddie Academy parents about what makes Kiddie Academy of Chicago-Lincoln Square different. #communitybeginshere
