Happy New Year! As the New Year begins, there is much talk about making resolutions. Parents and teachers have some common goals.

With the holidays upon us, we start to think about what we are thankful for. This is a great time to capture a teachable moment with children.

Life happens and it is full of emotions. Children are not immune to any of the events that happen in our lives. Even if the event does not directly affect them, they can feel it when the adult in their life is stressed.

Kindness is a year-round act that should not be defined by a specific holiday. But, a heightened awareness around the issue is always a good thing.

Celebrating children through the holiday season, what exactly does that look like?
