TESTIMONIALS

Jessica has been so great to our son. He loves going to see her and is loved by not only her but her whole family. She has worked to teach him sign language to help him communicate and makes sure the he feels safe and cared for.  As a parent, I love him there knowing he is well taken care of. This has been a great first experience for us and I am forever grateful to Jessica for all of her hard work.

I adore Jessica. My son has absolutely thrived and blossomed while learning from her in so many ways- both educationally and emotionally. She has taken so much extra time to spend with him and all summer he asked when we were going to se "Miss Jessica" again. Jessica has taken extra time to help me with my child in ways I am so thankful for- from emotional regulation to his speech and techniques to use at home. I am so impressed with her approach to teaching and using mindfulness. It is something I am learning about and practicing daily as an adult. I wish I could have learned these skills as a child. I have but so Buch trust with her not only to help my child grow academically but socially and emotionally as well. I feel pure love and care from her the it is so dear to me. We love Hidden Valley School!

Jessica is an amazing teacher. She taught my daughter when living on the EAs Coast. My daughter learned so much, was so loved and is now thriving Senior in high school with numerous college acceptances. Jessica is smart, kind, funny and extremely patient. Jessica cares about her work and any child who is lucky enough to be taught by her will be impacted in so many wonderful ways.

How many times is your child hearing the word NO?

 

When children get to the next phase, the one after the “everything you do is cute” phase, they are told, “No.” I call it the NO phase. They went from doing everything right and now they are willing to try new things and all they hear is: No, don’t get too close to the baby, No! Don’t push your sister. No! Don’t throw your food. No! Don’t chase the dog. No! Don’t stand up in the bath. No!

Kids are moving on to the next phase and we can up our game. We need to remember that we use to get so happy for every new thing they did. We need to remember they are willing to try new things and kids need reminders. They know, but their brains are growing so fast. We are here to remind them.

Predict. You are smarter than them. If you don’t predict then you’re not watching. You will see them start to get closer and closer to the baby. You just happened to look when they were kissing her face. They were frustrated with their sister before they decided to hit. Yes, we have told them not to. But they forgot.

Maybe, it’s not the NO! phase, it is the “I have more freedom phase and I am willing to try new things.”

Remember: Predict and Watch. They aren’t ready yet to be left in the room with a baby. They aren’t done hitting.
