online safetySince I’ve been in this blogging game for quite some time now, I thought it would be fun to do a little teach mama Top 10 All-Time Best Countdown to start the New Year.

So for the next ten days, that’s just what we’re going to be doing–counting down.

With the help of our analytics tools, Twitter, FB, and all the complicated (not really!) things we bloggers use to keep track of stats, I’m going to share the top 10 posts of all-time.

And after the fun is over, we’ll be back to life as usual, sharing the little things we’re doing over here to make learning fun, sneaky, and an everyday occurrence in our house.

Here we go. . .

  • teach mama’s top 10 all-time best countdown, #10: Keeping Kids Safe Online

Big surpriseโ€“ thereโ€™s no one magical solution to online safety, just like thereโ€™s not one magical solution to learning how to read or mastering the homework battle.

online safety How to Keep Kids Safe Online (yes, you must start now!)

 

However, there are a few things we can do as parents and educators that will help.ย  Help. Not ensure safetyโ€“because nothing can do thatโ€“but help point our kids in that direction.ย  Help do what we can to be proactive, aware, and informed of our childrenโ€™s lives online.

We can do this in 5 basic ways. . .

Tomorrow: teach mama’s top 10 all-time best countdown, #9.

My favorite little spot to lay out the mat = โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿงœ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Use an emoji to tell me yours. 

remember: it doesnโ€™t matter what you do as long as you move your body in some way each day. Total game changer. Promise. 

For me, walking the ๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ๐Ÿถ and ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธare daily non-negotiables for my physical AND mental health. 

I do the @melissawoodhealth videos each day, and her upbeat, casual attitude, variety of low-impact strengthening workouts, and reminders to just keep coming back are key.

This book is SO different from any other I have read in the recent past, and itโ€™s something that is both refreshing and hopeful. 

My friend @techninjatodd wanted to put out a book that would be a source of hope, a reminder that we are not alone. A testament to the fact that every season of life matters. 

And so, In This Season: Words From the Heart was born, with help from the amazing @apron_education @allylee21 @writtentospeak @omar2764

โ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธโ„๏ธ

Life is full of seasons.

Each of us has endured the cold of winter, the growth of spring, the light of summer, and the change of fall. Weโ€™ve climbed to the mountaintops and been deep in the valley.

In This Season: Words for the Heart takes the emotions we feel deep within and puts them into words. The pages of this book invite you to reflect and lean in as you continue through season after season.

๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒธ

Check this book out, friends. It is worth your time, and it is the perfect book for busy educators to pick up, read a few pages over a quick cup of coffee before the day begins or as you kick up your feet at the end of the day. 

It feels like a quiet conversation with a close friend or dear colleague. Important topics are touched on which remind us that our feelings and thoughts and insecurities are often not as unusual as we may think. Rather, these ups and downs of life are a shared experience that couldโ€”and should!โ€”be shared more frequently and openly. The reminder that we are not alone could not come at a more pivotal time for all of us; in the past two years, we have been reminded that life is short but that seasons change. Letโ€™s make the most of what we have!

Thank you, Todd, LaNesha, Tanner, and Alice for starting this conversation. 

โ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธ

Grab it here: https://amzn.to/3O4jMqN

And do follow these great writers, educators, and thought leaders.
