Welcome to the Brain FUNdamentals Blog!
I began this blog in May 2020 while working as the Lead Coach and Educator at Brain Fit Academy Inc. Today, I’m excited to continue sharing my insights and experiences—only now, I’m writing from the perspective of my own company, Brain FUNdamentals LLC! While the name has changed, my passion for this work remains the same!
The Lost Art of Playing Outside
It’s April, and a warm spring day. I am sitting on my back deck enjoying the sunshine while getting some work done. And as I sit here, I am very noticeably missing something. A sound.
Life Lessons From a Kitten
We (my family and I) recently adopted a kitten. His name is Dusk and he is now about 11 weeks old- so he’s a pretty tiny kitten.
However, Spunky Brewster- as I have lovingly nicknamed him, is as Spunky and as happy as can be.
Baby Birds
I've been watching a nest of baby birds in the burning bush next to my house. At first, it was the momma sitting on her nest, day after day until eventually, the babies arrived.
ExerSaucers, Bumbo Seats and Johnny Jumpers- Oh My!
Did you know that there is such as thing as "Container Baby Syndrome"? Simply put, it's when babies spend too much time in "containers" which can cause a variety of movement, behavior, and other difficulties as a result.
Real
The other day, I posted this picture on my Brain FUNdamentals Facebook page. I've been thinking about this quote ever since then and about what it really means to be a "real" parent.
Sometimes
Being a mom of a child with special needs, or a child that struggles, is hard. Now, I'm not discounting dads, but today the focus is on moms.
Out of the Loop
Worried. Confused. Overwhelmed. Frustrated. Angry.
Ever feel any of these feelings? Yup, me too.
Ever feel any of these feelings all at the same time?? Yup, same here.
What about your child- have they ever felt these feelings all at the same time?!?
Parents are Partners
Parents know their children best. They are the ones that kids spend the most time with. Parents know the ins and outs and the ups and downs of their children. Parents are usually the first ones to know if something is "off" with their child or if they are just having a bad day.
