    Fighting the Urge to Say No

    Have you ever felt a gut urge to just say "no" to your child without really stopping to think about why? In this episode, Nicole and Amy explore those feelings, what they mean for us for adults, and how to balance that need for control with our child's need to explore. Why do our children need to explore? How can we make that exploration possible while still balancing our own needs? This podcast dives deeply into exploration, control, and our response as prepared adults.

    Touching the Elementary Imagination

    We know that young children learn through concrete experiences, but what about as they move into the second plane of development?
