For many working moms and dads, #parentguilt is a very real thing. When Ashley sees her son do something new or hears him say a new word, letting go of some of the guilt becomes a bit easier.
This month in Character Essentials, we’re exploring our own emotions and respecting others’ feelings. #characteressentials #kiddieacademychicago

Lincoln Park Zoo has a fun Halloween family activity! Visitors can stroll a new path through Pritzker Family Children’s Zoo adorned with pumpkins carved by both professionals and amateurs. 🎃
Professional pumpkin carvers will showcase their talents in the Pumpkin Walk from 11 a.m.–3 p.m. each Saturday: October 10, 17, 24, and 31. Learn more: https://rb.gy/iilbvr
We've made a lot of changes to keep everyone safe. Some are big, and some are small. This is a great example of a small but important change we've made in our Kiddie Academy classrooms - we've switched from large sensory tables to individual bins. So, each child can still explore their 5 senses, now using their own personal sensory bin. We'll continue to focus on making our classrooms safe for all.
Happy Hippo, Angry Duck is the perfect complement to this month's Character Essentials lessons. A unique book about moods, it features clever animals that exemplify a wide range of emotions in this hilarious story about different feelings.

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?
#characteressentials #kiddieacademychicago #chicagokiddieacademy
This month in Character Essentials, we’re learning about showing gratitude. 😀 Here are 3 questions you can ask your child to help them to better understand the concept of being thankful:
❓ What do you like best about your friend?
❓ What’s your favorite part of our house?
❓ What can you do for someone else to show your thanks?
Be sure to share you own answers to the questions as part of your conversation!

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! 🏡

Kindness matters.
Kiddie Academy
November 13 at 3:30 PM ·
Practicing kindness helps us to be more deeply attached to other people’s feelings, thoughts and experiences. Compassion begins to develop in the very first years of life. In this unpredictable world, there's nothing more important than being kind and showing your child how to be kind, too. #WorldKindnessDay
