Children learn authenticity it by experiencing it in relationship. We support genuineness when we:
Meet them at their level and listen
Encourage independence
Notice the positive
Allow all feelings
Care for ourselves, too
When we model genuineness, children feel safe to be exactly who they are.

In The Classroom
My son Odin is in Alaya’s Snow Lion classroom, and a recent discussion at the community night led to me writing this post about food and young children. I work as a speech and feeding therapist in the community, and I love helping families create happier dynamics at home and in life.
