“What sets you apart can sometimes feel like a burden and it’s not. And a lot of the time, it’s what makes you great.” —Emma Stone #PlayBasedLearning #Neurodiversity #DevelopmentalDelay #Anxiety #PathalogicalDemandAvoidance #PDA #AutismSpectrumDisorder #ASD #ADHD #PositiveLanguage

“Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn and you will.”- Vernon Howard

“There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.” —Edward de Bono #PlayBasedLearning #Neurodiversity #DevelopmentalDelay #Anxiety #PathalogicalDemandAvoidance #PDA #AutismSpectrumDisorder #ASD #ADHD #PositiveLanguage

Play is the foundation of learning, creativity, self-expression, and constructive problem-solving. It’s how children wrestle with life to make it meaningful. -Susan Linn #PlayBasedLearning #Neurodiversity #DevelopmentalDelay #Anxiety #PathalogicalDemandAvoidance #PDA #AutismSpectrumDisorder #ASD #ADHD #PositiveLanguage

When you can be kind why choose not to be. #PlayBasedLearning #Neurodiversity #DevelopmentalDelay #Anxiety #PathalogicalDemandAvoidance #PDA #AutismSpectrumDisorder #ASD #ADHD #PositiveLanguage

Perfection is impossible because there are always ways to improve so instead focus on the progress, that's always something to celebrate! #PlayBasedLearning #Neurodiversity #DevelopmentalDelay #Anxiety #PathalogicalDemandAvoidance #PDA #AutismSpectrumDisorder #ASD #ADHD #PositiveLanguage

Learning does not have a schedule and cannot be rushed!

“The senses, being explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge” Maria Montessori. There are innumerable pathways to learning. Be open and lead with heart because knowledge is everywhere.

Child-led play means focusing on the activities that are meaningful to your specific child. By watching and engaging in a flexible supportive way, the teacher and the learner work towards creating a relationship built on trust and understanding. Summer is the perfect time to focus on letting your child lead. Go for it and have fun!!
