Worried if your toddler is ready for preschool?

I welcome Zeba McGibbons, teacher, curriculum creator, and children’s book author. In this episode, we discuss kindergarten readiness, and it's not actually about academic readiness like parents think, but rather social-emotional skills, such as independence, self-regulation, and problem-solving.

Through her curriculum creation company, Kindergarten Cafe, Zeba supports early childhood educators from arrival to dismissal with classroom-tested strategies and materials. Learn more about her work here: ⁠https://www.kindergartencafe.org/⁠

Apologizing for your child's social interaction? Here's how to avoid that and what to do instead.

In this episode, I emphasize how you talk to your kids matters. I explain how describing character builds our kids identities and creates a belief system about themselves.  I also share language you can use that will help your child feel seen, heard, understood, and permission to feel without defining their identity for them.
