Parenting Tip a Day for May! It's easy to think our kids need more toys to stay entertained, but what they really need is more connection with the world around them. Nature, dirt, creativity, new experiences, plants, water, and yes, even boredom, are powerful tools for growth.

Keeping children engaged during the summer helps them build confidence, strengthen important skills, and return to school ready to succeed. Simple, hands-on science activities can turn everyday moments into exciting learning opportunities.

At the Collaborative for Children, we recognize that supportive language plays a crucial role in brain development and emotional growth. Let’s uplift children with words that empower, encourage, and inspire them. .

Helping too quickly can quietly take away chances for kids to build confidence. Those small moments of effort, even when they’re slow or messy, are where independence really grows. When we pause and let them try, we’re teaching them that they’re capable.

Collaborative for Children is at the forefront of early math education by ensuring that every Collab Kid in our Centers of Excellence achieves Texas pre-k guidelines and can count to 30 by memory.  It all starts with identifying numbers!  Try this with your Collab Kids!

When children develop everyday life skills, they gain the confidence to navigate their new environment more easily and successfully. These simple routines help them feel capable, prepared, and ready to take on the school day.

Parenting Tip a Day for May! Research shows that children who take on responsibility early in life tend to grow into more capable & happier adults. Chores help develop problem-solving skills and self-esteem, especially when children are encouraged to take on tasks independently.

Big feelings, lots of questions, strong opinions, & a need for independence are how children build confidence, curiosity, and emotional awareness. When we look past the behavior & respond with guidance instead of control, we support growth that’s happening exactly as it should.

Helping kids grow isn’t about fixing everything for them. It’s about steady, consistent guidance that teaches patience, problem‑solving, and emotional control. When boundaries stay calm and predictable, children feel safer, more confident, and better able to handle frustration on their own.

I have this afternoon put Lancashire’s games at Southport and Blackpool in my diary.

States across the South are redrawing congressional maps after the Supreme Court's effective gutting of the Voting Rights Act, says @ariberman.bsky.social of Mother Jones. “This could lead to the largest drop in Black representation since the Jim Crow era, and it is happening with alarming speed."

It’s logical that change feels uncomfortable. Your brain is wired to prefer familiarity — even when that familiarity isn’t good for you. Growth often feels like instability before it feels like freedom. 💙 #mattsfoundation #mentalhealth #4mattsmf #kobe
