During the winter break from school, everyone deserves the chance to recharge and relax. However, you can also find ways to sneak in some learning to help your child avoid the “winter slide” and go back to school with a ready mind. For example, everyday activities, such as bath time, cooking, a drive in the car, or a walk, are all opportunities to help your child grasp some of the simple concepts around math. Math Activities for the Home Open-ended play and role play are great ways to incorporate concepts of math, especially if you have your kids pretend to be in a bank or a store. Have them practice counting using pretend money, or by stocking pretend food items. With this kind of role play, children are making the connection between math and real life. Have your child join in on holiday cooking or baking! Look at measurements together, count ingredients, and depending on their age, let them watch or participate while cooking. Help your child learn the concepts of sorting and categorizing by having them help with laundry and sort the clothes by color, size, or type. They can also help organize their toys and group them by size, color, or type of toy, and compare how much they have of each group. Math Activities for the Go Play a game by trying to find a clock wherever you go. If you spot one, look at the hands of the clock and count the numbers. While on a walk or at the playground, count the clouds in the sky. You can also talk about the weather, such as where rain comes from, and what time the moon and the sun rise and set. While driving in the car, look at road signs, and explain the distance between destinations while traveling. Learning Math by Reading While reading books, you and your child can count the characters or the numbers on the page. You can also determine the start, middle, and end of the book, as well as how long it takes to read it. Read some lift-the-flap or puzzle books with your child. These books can help your child engage in counting the number of flaps, as well as shapes and patterns. After reading a story together, ask your child some math-related questions, such as “How many siblings did the character have?” or “How many apples did the character pack for lunch?” Learning math by doing everyday activities in and outside the house can provide numerous benefits for children. They’ll be able to see how math is used in daily life and help them understand how important math is beyond the classroom. In addition, incorporating math and literacy into your winter break activities can help kids retain key concepts they learned at school, so that they can return after the holidays with their minds fresh.

For children, unwrapping presents can be an exciting part of the holidays. Gift-givers can also remember to prioritize safety when choosing toys and gifts. Buying safe and age-appropriate toys is important for children’s physical and intellectual growth and keeps them having fun safely. Are They Developmentally and Age-Appropriate? Consider your child’s age and development when purchasing a toy or a game. It’s worth a few extra seconds to read recommended age, instructions and warning labels to ensure the gift is just right. Infants tend to prefer toys that engage their senses, such as colorful objects, soft textures, and gentle sounds. Babies also learn by exploring with their mouths. Some toys that are appropriate for this age include: Toys they can hold or reach for and put in their mouths, such as rattles and teething rings. Toys with faces and bright colors, such as baby-safe mirrors and soft blocks. Board books. Toddlers 18-24 months enjoy toys that promote independence and creativity, and at this age, they are also attracted to toys that encourage movement, problem-solving, and simple challenges. These include: Simple wooden puzzles with letters and numbers. Wooden, foam, or cardboard stacking blocks. Non-toxic crayons and washable markers. Children between the ages of 2 and 3 enjoy playing pretend, which boosts imagination and social skills. They will also benefit from toys that encourage physical activity, such as: Dolls and stuffed animals. Interactive books (lift and flap books, or books with music). Sand and water play toys (or foam letters/numbers for the bathtub). Preschoolers between the ages of 3 and 4 enjoy toys that support creativity and help to improve their communication and fine motor skills. These include: Pretend play toys, such as dress-up clothes, play kitchens, and tool benches. Letter matching or counting games. Shape sorters and building blocks. Are They Safe? For all toys, it is important to supervise playtime, especially for younger children. Caregivers should regularly check toys for damaged parts and repair or discard broken toys or pieces. It is also important to clean toys often, and to separate toys meant for older children. Other safety tips include: When using riding toys such as bikes and scooters, make sure your child is wearing a helmet that is fitted correctly. Put toys away in a safe storage container after playtime is over. Sign up to receive product recalls and visit www.recalls.gov for information about the latest product recalls related to kids. Alternative Gift Ideas Help your child pick out toys, clothing, and shoes that they have outgrown and donate them together to a community charity or family. If you’re unsure of what to buy, consider gifting experiences. Tickets to a zoo, a museum, or a fun class can create memories that will last long after the holidays are over. Have a special occasion date with your kids! Kids love to spend time with their loved ones, so plan a day to take them somewhere special- lunch, movie, a park, anything! Doing something special and showing your child that want to spend time with them can be worth more than any toy. By following the above guidelines, you can ensure that the gifts you give and receive for your loved ones bring happiness without compromising safety.

The holiday season brings fun moments with family and friends. For parents, it can also mean navigating through plans, travel, and expectations with your children. Luckily, there are some simple tips to follow to ensure your children are prepared for travel and holiday gatherings. Remember, you don’t have to attend every party or partake in every holiday event- the important thing is to find what works for your family’s individual needs. Plan Ahead Traveling or holiday events: Everyone has more fun if children get enough sleep, eat healthy foods, and there is time for downtime. Children need to sleep, eat, play, and unwind, even during holiday fun. By fulfilling basic needs (yours included), you’ll lessen the chances of holiday stress. During long trips or while visiting a relative’s or friend’s home, pack some familiar things that can help your child in a new environment. These can include a favorite toy or blanket, calming music and headphones, or coloring books and crayons if they need a relaxing activity. Have conversations with your child before leaving your house about what will be happening so everyone feels prepared. You can also identify a space for your child to have some quiet time during gatherings or events. Remember, you don’t have to attend every party or holiday event. Finding balance can make the season more relaxed. Helpful Holiday Tasks Kids Can Do Teaching kids how to do things for themselves gives them a step toward independence and a sense of pride and accomplishment. Finding ways to include your children in an event can make it more meaningful for everyone. Additionally, it can help take some things off your own to-do list! This holiday season, try giving your child some age-appropriate tasks or chores such as: For toddlers and early preschoolers, have them pick out holiday books to read together, help with baking holiday treats by mixing ingredients and stirring them in a bowl, or collecting the recycling and trash after unwrapping gifts. Before a meal, have your children set the table or help decorate by creating place cards or designing placemats. Whether you’re hosting or traveling for the holidays, your kids can help prepare by picking out their own clothes to pack or wear, and deciding on what colors and types of clothing they prefer. Go Over Safety Tips Though it’s great for kids to be involved in holiday preparations, safety is also important, especially during festive gatherings when there is a lot of activity and people in the home and on the roads. Keep children at least three feet away from the stove and away from hot food and liquids. Be sure electrical cords are out of reach of reach of children. If traveling, plan your route ahead of time, be aware of weather conditions, buckle up. Be careful in busy parking lots while out shopping. During the holidays, it’s important to manage expectations. With a little planning and communication, you can create joyful and memorable experiences for everyone!

Family engagement has been shown to increase a child’s motivation to learn, reduce behavioral problems, improve social-emotional development, and foster school readiness skills, such as impulse control, attention, memory, and planning. As a parent, there are many opportunities throughout the day to influence and teach your child a new lesson outside of the classroom. Learning Opportunities in the Home Aim to read to your child for at least 15 minutes a day. Reading books aloud together can be a great way to boost vocabulary and literacy skills. Have conversations with your child as you go about your day. The more children feel comfortable in sharing with you, the more readily they will learn from you. Use simple activities at home to help your child identify shapes and colors. For example, ask your child what the color of their toothbrush is, or ask them to name the colors on their clothing as they get dressed. Look for different shapes in your home, such as the shape of a rug or a book. Learning Opportunities on the Go Point out letters on cereal boxes, road signs, and in books. When you’re driving, you can do a letter hunt by asking your child if they can find the letter “A” on a passing sign. Practice numbers in the grocery store by having your child help you find different numbered aisles and have them help you count the number of items in your cart to see if you’ll need to check out in the express lane or the regular lane. Have fun with sizes and comparisons by asking your child which bag of your groceries is heavier, or which plate on the restaurant table is smaller than the rest of the plates. You Are Your Child’s First Teacher Parents, you are your child’s first and greatest teacher! Parental involvement and engagement are strongly linked to the development of critical skills such as reading and writing, as well as general life skills including patience, relationship building, and character development. Act as a role model for good behavior, since your children are watching and learning from you every day. Teach them not only early math and literacy skills, but the importance of being grateful, considerate, and kind. Learning new skills can take time. Children will need repetition and support as they gain the ability to complete tasks on their own. This requires patience and understanding from parents, teaching and re-teaching skills. You can also talk to your child’s teacher about specific activities you can do at home to help boost your child’s learning and development. In addition, our Child Care Resource and Referral specialists can connect you with resources to help support your role as your child’s first teacher. Check them out at https://www.elcpalmbeach.org/child-care-resource-referral .
As parents, you are vital to your child’s early development! Eighty percent of a child’s brain develops before they are five years of age. Family engagement supports children’s school readiness and prepares them for life. Spending time together as a family can improve the social-emotional development of children, as well as foster skills in young children such as impulse control, attention, memory, and planning. The easiest way to advance these skills is by taking advantage of everyday life moments and using these times to connect, read, and play with your child. What is Family Engagement Month? November is Florida Engagement Month, a time to celebrate the significant role that parents and caregivers play in their children’s education. Children benefit tremendously from positive family engagement, and it can help them succeed in school by increasing their motivation to learn. Children need high-quality time with parents and caregivers, and it’s about how you choose to spend that time that truly matters. Using Everyday Moments to Connect Find moments during your daily routine to actively engage in conversation with your child. Talking to your child is one of the most important things you can do to get their brains ready for learning! The more you talk with your child the more words they will learn. Tell stories, sing songs, play games, go for a walk in the park, complete a puzzle, or build blocks with your child. Every little bit of play time makes a positive impact! Tell your child you love them every day, and how important they are to you and how they make you feel. Try to have a daily “connect” time with your child, such as letting them choose and read one book with you at bedtime. Using Everyday Moments to Learn Teach your child new words and concepts by talking with them, for example, about the food they eat. Ask them questions like, “What color is the fruit on your plate?” or “What shape is the sandwich?” You can also help them count the number of grapes or carrots on their plate. Cooking with your child is a wonderful way to teach fine motor skills (they will need to use their hands to stir, mix, or combine ingredients); social and emotional development (connecting while you cook together); language and literacy (giving them a chance to listen and follow directions); and mathematical thinking (exploring and measuring ingredients). Have fun with numbers while washing hands, playing with toys, and eating- for example, have your child count to ten while they wash their hands, ask them to find four of their favorite toys, or to eat five more bites of their lunch. As a parent, you have the power to give your child a great start in life! The world is a child’s classroom, and everyday experiences provide countless opportunities to build on school readiness skills. Take some time to talk about what you see as you walk or drive, talk about your day or what you’re doing in the kitchen, and point out signs, buildings, animals, and colors while out and about in the community. When you make learning a part of your everyday lifestyle, you provide quality, unique experiences for your child!

If your family celebrates Halloween, it’s important to remember to stay safe and respectful of others in your neighborhood, while also having fun! With a little planning, it’s easy to create a balance between enjoying the festivities and keeping safety a top priority. Read on for some tips and tricks, so that you can better enjoy the treats! Tips for Trick-or-Treating October in Florida doesn’t always mean nice, crisp weather- be prepared for heat and rain by bringing raincoats, umbrellas, and lots of water while trick-or-treating. Lightweight costumes are more comfortable in the heat. Bring an extra treat bag or two, in case the one your child is carrying breaks, rips, or gets too heavy. Have your child practice saying, “Trick or treat!” and “Thank you!” as they go door to door. Make sure your children walk on sidewalks, instead of on the street, unless your neighborhood closes them to traffic. Look for houses with their lights on. Those with lights off might mean that family is not celebrating Halloween, and it’s important to respect that different families do different things. Remind your child not to take more candy than what they’re offered, to ensure there is enough candy for everyone in the neighborhood. Staying Safe When selecting your child’s costume, make sure it is the right size to avoid trips and falls. As it starts getting darker earlier, be sure that your family stays visible to both cars on the road, and to the rest of your group. A fun option is to give everyone glow sticks to carry or wear! You can also bring a flashlight or wear reflective clothing. Cross the street at traffic signals and stick to well-lit areas and sidewalks. Make sure an adult always stays with your child and their group. Remind your child not to enter someone’s house without permission (unless they’re having a walkthrough haunted house, of course)! Activities For the Home Pumpkin carving is a classic Halloween tradition, but it can get messy. In our home, we enjoy painting pumpkins or decorating them with stickers and markers. Have your child create their own jack-o’-lantern with different materials! Play fun Halloween music and have a dance party in the living room! Some of my favorites include “Monster Mash,” “Ghostbusters,” and “Thriller.” Tell your child some not-so-scary stories- you can borrow some from the library or tell your own. Create a spooky atmosphere by dimming the lights, or for your young kids, making props with friendly ghosts and silly witches. See if your town offers free Halloween activities such as pumpkin patches or trunk or treats- these can be fun, organized alternatives or added activities to traditional trick-or-treating. Halloween can be a fun and memorable time for families with just a few safety precautions. Whether you’ll be out trick-or-treating, attending a Halloween event, or simply enjoying activities at home, the important thing is to make sure your kids feel safe and comfortable, and that everyone has a good time. More safety tips can be found at https://www.safekids.org/halloween . Happy Halloween!
If your child is in Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) this year, you may be curious as to what your child will learn and encounter in their program. One important component of a child’s VPK experience is the VPK FAST (Florida Assessment for Student Thinking) assessment. The FAST assessment will help ensure that your child is on the right path to a successful start in school and is used to help educators determine a child’s knowledge and skills. Some areas that are measured are phonological awareness, letter recognition, and vocabulary. The FAST is given at the beginning, mid-point and end of the year to assist early educators in understanding your child and their growth towards kindergarten. There are easy ways to help your child feed prepared. One of these is simply to read aloud together every day. Ask your child questions about the stories and choose a variety of books that will introduce them to different words and topics. Help your child learn to recognize letters by pointing them out on signs and items around the house and neighborhood. Sing songs together that involve rhyming and play games such as “I Spy.” Most likely, your child’s assessment will take place on a tablet. You can have your child practice navigating how to press buttons and swipe on a tablet at home, or by helping them learn how to type on a keyboard and click with a mouse. Rest assured that their teacher there to assist with technology when they are in their VPK program. Keep your child on their consistent daily routine, ensuring they are following regular times for sleep, meals, and playtime. When a child is well-rested and knows what to expect from their day, they will be more likely to perform their best. More likely than not, your child will not even know they are being assessed that day- they may just come home excited that they got to play a game. Celebrate their excitement, rather than focusing on what questions they were asked or how they responded. If your child does feel nervous, listen to their concerns, and reassure them that this is a special way for their teachers to know how to help them learn. What to Do with Assessment Results Your child’s VPK program will share results with you. When you receive your child’s results, take the time to review them and ask questions. Their VPK program will be able to best explain your child’s strengths and where they may need additional support. Continue to support your child’s learning by reading at home, sticking with routines, and completing any activities that your teacher may send home with your child. Keep learning fun! Incorporate math and literacy into everyday routines when you can and continue to celebrate your child’s achievements. Preparing your child (and yourself) for the VPK FAST assessment can be simple. The goal of VPK is to ensure your child is ready for the exciting journey kindergarten journey, and that this assessment will help them excel. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s assessment, don’t hesitate to reach out to their teacher or director. You can also call the Coalition at 561-514-3300 for additional resources or visit https://www.elcpalmbeach.org/vpk-families. Here’s to a great experience in VPK for you and your family!
October is spooky season, but there’s something that can be even scarier than ghosts and goblins - child tantrums and meltdowns! As a parent, you’ve likely experienced a classic tantrum or meltdown, whether it was in the middle of a grocery store or right before bedtime. Luckily, there are strategies that can help you manage tantrums in calm, effective ways. Why Children Have Tantrums Tantrums are a normal part of development. They occur most between the ages of one and three. Tantrums and meltdowns can be generated by lots of feelings, such as fear, frustration, anger, sensory overload or just being tired. A child doesn’t yet have the skills to talk about how they feel, and so they can be overwhelmed by emotions. Sometimes, children will learn that tantrums and meltdowns can lead to getting what they want, and they become behaviors that they rely on. The goal is to help your child learn other, more gentle ways to handle stressful situations, such as taking some deep breaths or seeking support from adults. Modeling calm and praising cooperation gets you more of what you want over time. How to Handle Tantrums and Meltdowns During a tantrum, model your own calming behaviors. Remember it’s happening “in front of you” not “to you”. Taking the time to talk and give words to their feelings will help children use their words over time. If your child is hitting or biting, remove them from the situation immediately, and make it clear that the behavior is not safe or acceptable. Behaviors such as hitting, kicking, biting, or throwing should not be ignored and should be addressed. Set your child up for success - if you know tantrums usually occur when they are hungry or tired, have a healthy snack on you when you are out of the house, and try to prioritize nap and sleep times. Remember to give yourself a break when you need it, even if that means asking a partner, friend, or family member to tap in. You’re doing a great job, and need to take care of yourself, too! Tips for Preventing Tantrums & Calming Children Back Down Help your child learn to label their feelings and let them know that it’s okay to feel sad, angry, or frustrated. By naming and accepting their emotions, they will be better able to learn how to manage them. Consistent routines make a difference. Having a dependable structure can help kids feel in control. If change is unavoidable and you know that your child has trouble with transitions, provide a warning and a time limit before the transition happens - for example, let them know in five minutes, they will have to stop playing with their toys and sit down to eat dinner. Plan for something that you predict may be an emotionally challenging situation for your child. During a time when both of you are calm, talk about what’s coming up, such as a trip to a place where they are expected to behave, or a doctor visit. Talking about these stressful situations in advance can help you both avoid a meltdown. For a young child, some days are tough, and they can go through lots of big feeling very quickly. By setting aside a few minutes each day to spend one-on-one time with your child can help them manage stress during other points of the day. This special time should be full of positive connections and letting your child know that you love them no matter what. Tantrums and meltdowns are a normal part of growing up. Stay calm, offer your support, and set boundaries. With time and patience, both you and your child will get better at handling challenging situations. Remember, if your child is currently going through tantrums and meltdowns - it won’t last forever. Tantrums tend to reduce with age, even if they don’t go away entirely. If you’re still concerned about their behavior, talk to their pediatrician.

Every year, from September 15 th to October 15th, we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month in the United States. This is a time to celebrate the rich history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities around the world. This month focuses on family, traditions, food, music, and art- everything that makes Hispanic culture so wonderful and exciting! We asked a few of our Coalition staff members to share how they celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month; Ysis Figueroa, Customer Resource Assistant Manager, explained the following: “During Hispanic Heritage Month and throughout the year, it’s important to me, as a Dominican in the U.S., that my daughter stays connected to her heritage. For Hispanic Heritage Month, we make an effort to attend local events and festivals to celebrate our Latino culture within the community. I pass down traditions by cooking staple Dominican dishes like mangú (mashed plantains), La Bandera ("the Dominican flag," a national dish of rice, beans, and meat), and sancocho (a hearty stew with meat and root vegetables). We celebrate Dominican holidays throughout the year with family, enjoying vibrant music, dancing, and cultural pride. We also stay connected to the island by following our favorite baseball team, Tigres del Licey, when the Dominican Winter League starts in October. Thanks to technology, we can stay connected and follow the games no matter where we are. My parents, now retired, travel back and forth between their home in Palm Beach County and their home in Santo Domingo, which also helps us stay connected to our culture. In Palm Beach County, we love visiting Dominican spots like Las Americas Restaurant and La Casa del Mofongo to enjoy authentic Dominican flavors. If you want to try some Dominican recipes at home, I encourage you to visit https://www.dominicancooking.com/ , a fantastic resource for traditional Dominican dishes!” Maria Gutierrez, Family Services Manager- Early Intervention and Inclusion, also shared an important part of her Columbian heritage- coffee! She writes: “Coffee is a significant part of Colombian culture. Not only because our country produces world-class coffee, but also because most locals drink it daily and several times a day. Yes, some Colombians are not fans of coffee, but we are generally a coffee-drinking culture. When do we drink coffee? When we wake up: early morning ritual. During the day at work. After lunch. During work meetings. When you are invited to someone’s house. When catching up with friends. The intake of coffee depends on the person. Some people drink 1-2 cups of coffee a day, while others drink up to 6+ cups of coffee a day. Other names for coffee are Cafecito, Tinto , and Tintico.” By celebrating this special month, we are better able to understand different cultures and the important role they play in making our world a better, more vibrant place. By learning new words, trying new foods, or making some cool art, celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month is all about having fun while learning more about the world around us. Check out your local library to see which books and authors librarians recommend for Hispanic Heritage Month, and ask if they offer any fun activities. Visit https://wpbcitylibrary.libcal.com/calendars?t=g&q=hispanic%20heritage&cid=-1&cal=-1&inc=0 to find Hispanic Heritage Month activities at the Mandel Public Library in West Palm Beach.
September is recognized as baby safety month, and although a baby’s safety should be a top priority all year long, having a month dedicated to promoting safety for young children can be helpful for both new and experienced parents. Every parent and caregiver want to ensure their baby’s safety, but with so much information out there, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Luckily, there are a few essential baby safety tips that parents and caregivers can follow. Crib and Sleep Safety A newborn baby can spend up to 16 to 17 hours a day sleeping. When I was a new parent, I remember spending most of that time checking on my child what felt like every few minutes. However, it is important for parents to get their rest as well, and you can follow these tips to ensure both you and your baby get some much-needed rest: Always place your baby on their back to sleep. Use a firm mattress in a safety-approved crib with a fitted sheet. Avoid soft bedding, pillows, or stuffed animals in the crib or bassinet. Place the crib away a from windows with blinds with strings or cords within reach. Do not place shelving, pictures, or other décor over a crib that could fall off the wall and into the crib. Bath and Water Safety Whether you are giving your baby a bath, going in a swimming pool, or letting them play with water toys, it’s important to always stay vigilant when babies are in or around water. Check the temperature of the water with your wrist before placing your baby in a bath or pool. Immediately drain the bathtub when finished using it. If you have a pool, use a fence around your pool that is at least 5 feet tall and use a pool alarm that alerts you if someone is entering the water. Do not let your child use inflatable floatation devices when not being supervised. Car Seat Safety When in the car with your baby, your child should always be secured in a car seat located in the back seat of the vehicle. Other car seat safety tips include: Placing your baby in a rear-facing car seat until they reach the maximum height or weight limit specified by the car seat manufacturer. Always keep the harness buckled and place the chest clip level with your baby’s armpits. Do not add pillows or blankets to make your child fit properly; only use the provided inserts as needed. Playtime and General Safety Playtime is as much a part of your baby’s routine as sleeping and eating. Having toys available for your child keeps them entertained and active, however, parents should always follow each toy’s instructions to avoid potential hazards. Avoid toys with small and sharp parts. Disinfect toys regularly, especially after another child has played with them. Keep older children’s toys separated from baby’s toys. To ensure your baby’s general safety in all areas of your house, you can keep the following in mind: Keep batteries and other small, loose items out of reach. Keep babies strapped in when using highchairs and swings. Use safety gates to keep children away from stairs. Lock up all medications and household items that can be considered poisonous in a place that baby cannot access. Keeping your baby safe requires extra attention, but by being proactive and following common safety tips, you will create a secure environment that best supports your baby’s health and development!
