Creative thinking is critical for progress and for survival. How is it fostered?  #art #creativity #play #teaching #resilience #DAP

Self efficacy = believing that one can successfully perform a desired task or behavior.  Programs for (young) children that encourage movement and exercise might be setting the stage for a more physically active adolescence. #movement #DAP #recess #outside #resilience

This is a fantastic SPOT ON 7 minute Ted Talk video with Balanced and Barefoot author, Angela Hanscom, that concisely sums up WHY children need to move and HOW to go about making sure they do! But don't just watch it and agree with it, DO IT! #play #outside #movement #recess #risk #resilience #teaching #learning #nature

While having a play deprived childhood isn't going to turn you into a murderer, all of the inmates Brown interviewed had a play deprived childhood.   #play #risk #resilience #teaching #learning #powerplaying #theorists

A 2018 study estimated that 33.3% of all children were exposed to at least one adverse childhood experience (ACE). ACEs include abuse, household challenges, neglect, drug use or mental illness in the house, parental separation or divorce, incarcerated family members and witnessing domestic violence.  It's important to note that adversity isn't limited to these categories;  housing insecurity, racism, medical trauma, natural disasters and, I would add COVID all can contribute to a child experiencing trauma as a result of the stress of these examples of adversity.  This booklet provides a general over view of trauma and behavior, what ECEs need to know about trauma, how ECEs can promote resilience, understanding trauma informed care, and the intersection between disparity, equity and trauma.  #trauma #ACES #equity #care

Present company excluded, it is often a surprise that characteristics such as persistence, self control and curiosity are more important than sheer brainpower when it comes to being "successful"  #play #resilience #DAP #teaching #learning
