Description

 What if slowing down was the secret to helping children build confidence, creativity, and connection? Through stories from the classroom and real-life reflections, Jenny and Kristine reveal how giving ourselves and our children the gift of time can nurture pride, balance, and deeper relationships.


In this episode, Jenny and Kristine discuss:



  • How rushing through the day affects children’s confidence and creativity

  • Why slowing down builds pride in effort and strengthens relationships

  • The connection between expectations, balance, and a more sustainable pace of life

  • How teachers and parents can model healthy rhythms for children


Out of respect for our students, we want to note that while the stories we share are real, names have been changed for anonymity. In fact, every student we mention is named “Charlie.”  We use that name as a way to honor privacy while still sharing authentic classroom experiences.
