  • My girls created an elaborate play-doh bakery specializing in Challah and I couldn’t be prouder. 
I ❤️ that they are practicing  fine motor skills while building a Jewish identity. The communication and collaboration required for them to coordinate this project amazed me. 7 made paper money, 5 scribbled a meme and 3 showed us that she has enough impulse control now to be trusted not to willfully smoosh her sisters’ intricate creations 🎉#morethancute #raisingjewishkids #earlyengagement #earlylearning #spiritualembryo
  • I hired a caregiver (a term I prefer to ‘babysitter’) last night as I delivered a keynote presentation to conclude @theisjl ‘s #isjledconf22 and I was particularly thoughtful about how I could create an optimized environment and plan for my kiddos as I was lecturing about developmentally appropriate practices with young children. 
It was a parental milestone and a ‘shehechiyanu’ moment for me last night as someone other than me out my kiddos to bed for  the first time 🎉🥳
I prepared my girls by creating this bedtime routine timeline with them just before the caregiver arrived. We reviewed the plan together twice- the first time, I prompted Libby (3) to help me “read” the board- I said the verb and she was able ‘fill in the blank’ from context (Libby, first we eat….DINNER! Yes, (pointing to board for reference) next we clear our….) 
Then Talya (7) our emerging reader reviewed the sequence again. 
I almost texted directions to the sitter but this was SO much better. Kids felt more in control of their routine as they confidently led the caregiver through the steps (opposed to the other way around).

  • יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן פְּרַחְיָה אוֹמֵר, עֲשֵׂה לְךָ רַב, וּקְנֵה לְךָ חָבֵר, וֶהֱוֵי דָן אֶת כָּל הָאָדָם לְכַף זְכוּת:
Joshua ben Perahiah used to say: Make for yourself a teacher, and acquire for yourself a friend; judge all people with the scale weighted in their favor.
Each of my kiddos has a propensity for teaching that makes my heart grow. 7 wrote out letters in yellow marker for 3 to trace with a pencil. Each of them was SO proud of themselves. 
This is why I don’t “do” specific “academic” or “learning” activities at home- because I know that their play and our relationships are the optimal teaching tools upon which they will rely when they face the future rigors of academia. #pirkeiavot #

  • 🥳 ✡️ This is joyful Jewish learning.🧱🥯
I brought 25lbs of magnatiles with me Jewish Family Jams this weekend and it was a magnificent investment. This was the first session of a series and I designed the 'bagels and blocks' section of the morning to foster social connections: the parents are able to connect with one another as their children are occupied, children who prefer parallel play have the opportunity to practice (I brought the massive amount of blocks so that sharing would be less necessary), and children (or adults) who want to be collaborative in their construction are able to be creative collectively. 
7 was delighted to have the opportunity to build with her new friends and my heart swelled as I listened to them spontaneously sing "Under Pressure" (from Encanto) and then "The Four Questions (Mah Nishtana). #earlylearning
