I’m studying to become an Early Childhood Educator in BC & this province has modeled their recommendations for preschools off of Nordic ways. Play based is the way to go! 💕

I love this! I didn’t know what I was doing was the Danish way. I just thought I was an older parent (37 when I had her) and this was my adult style influencing my parenting style. ❤️

Natural consequences are just that and natures way of teaching. We live with nature to ignore it or avoid it still leads to consequences. It’s nature. Children should always learn natural consequences.
