By Siyona Varghese In today’s digital age, screens are everywhere—televisions, tablets, phones, and computers have become a regular part of life for many families. For 5-year-olds, screens can offer fun, learning, and connection. But they can also lead to challenges if not used mindfully. As parents and caregivers, it’s important to ask: How much screen […]
What’s Fair Isn’t Always Equal: Helping 5-Year-Olds Navigate Fairness
By Siyona Varghese At around age five, children become deeply interested in the idea of fairness. You’ll often hear phrases like “That’s not fair!” or “Why does she get more than me?” Whether it’s about snack portions, turn-taking, or classroom roles, fairness becomes a hot topic in a 5-year-old’s world. This interest in fairness is […]
Celebrating Differences: Inclusion and Acceptance in Early Childhood
By Siyona Varghese The early years of a child’s life are full of learning—not just about letters, numbers, and shapes, but about people, relationships, and how the world works. During this critical time, children begin to form ideas about themselves and others. That’s why it’s so important to introduce the values of inclusion, diversity, and […]
Helping or Hovering? Encouraging Problem-Solving in 5-Year-Olds
By Siyona Varghese As parents and caregivers, it’s natural to want to protect our children from struggle. When a 5-year-old frowns at a puzzle, spills a drink, or wrestles with frustration over tying a shoelace, the urge to step in and “fix it” is strong. But while helping can sometimes be necessary, hovering too often […]
Worries and Whys: Understanding Anxiety in 5-Year-Olds
By Siyona Varghese At five years old, children are full of questions — “Why is the sky blue?” “What happens if I get lost?” “Why do I have to go to school?” Along with this natural curiosity, many begin to experience their first real worries. These concerns might seem small to adults, but to a […]
From Routine to Responsibility: Building Independence in 5-Year-Olds
By Siyona Varghese By the age of five, children begin to demonstrate a growing desire to do things on their own. They ask for independence in dressing, eating, and decision-making. This developmental milestone is both exciting and essential. Building independence at this stage not only supports a child’s self-esteem but also lays the foundation for […]
Kindness Counts: Teaching Compassion to 5-Year-Olds
By Siyona Varghese In a world that often feels hurried and competitive, teaching children the value of kindness is more important than ever. By the time your child turns five, they are developmentally ready to begin understanding the emotions of others and the impact of their actions. While empathy and compassion may not yet come […]
Growing Minds: What’s Happening in Your 5-Year-Old’s Brain?
By Siyona Varghese By the time your child turns five, they’ve already undergone a remarkable transformation. From babbling baby to imaginative storyteller, their brain has been busy wiring itself to think, feel, move, and connect with the world around them. But what exactly is going on inside the mind of a 5-year-old? Understanding this developmental […]
Playdates and Peer Pressure: Social Smarts for 5-Year-Olds
By Siyona Varghese At age five, children are stepping into a new world of friendships, playdates, and social dynamics. It’s an exciting time, but it can also be tricky. As they seek connection and approval from peers, they start experiencing early forms of peer pressure — the subtle (or sometimes not-so-subtle) push to act a […]
Safe Bodies, Safe Boundaries: Talking Body Safety With Your 5-Year-Old
By Siyona Varghese Teaching body safety to a 5-year-old is one of the most important conversations you can have.
