The breakfast was attended by parents, students, and trustees, and featured delicious rainbow bagels. Breakfast My Way is an event sponsored by the Parents’ Association DEI Committee to bring parents together to learn about the breakfast traditions, holidays, and cultures of their fellow Gaynor families. https://lnkd.in/eQAXSaup

We are so excited to welcome both new and returning students as well as faculty and staff to Pepperdine’s campus for the start of the school year! As the new school year kicks off, it’s a time filled with excitement, anticipation, and sometimes a bit of stress. At the Boone Center for the Family, we understand that this time brings unique relational dynamics, whether within families, among peers, or in the broader community. Parents and Guardians: Balancing the demands of work, school schedules, and extracurricular activities can be challenging. Remember to prioritize open communication with your children. As you cultivate trust and understanding with them, you will find it easier to guide them through life. Take time to check in with them about their feelings and experiences as they navigate new routines, challenges, and their own sense of agency. Remember, you play a crucial role in their development, even during the academic year. Students: Whether you’re returning to familiar surroundings or stepping into a new environment, relationships with peers and teachers can shape your school experience as well as present challenges and opportunities for growth. Approach each day with a mindset of kindness and understanding, knowing that everyone is adjusting in their own way. Don’t forget to be kind to yourself as well – give yourself grace when needed. Teachers and Educators: Your role in fostering a positive and supportive environment is crucial. As you pour into your students, remember to also take care of your own well-being and maintain healthy boundaries. Faculty and Administration: While you may not be directly in the classrooms, your influence on students’ lives is significant. Many students look up to you and seek your guidance. Set a positive example by maintaining healthy work boundaries. Your mental and emotional health drive your long term capacity and help prevent burnout. Remember, you cannot serve students from an empty cup. At the Boone Center for the Family, we are committed to supporting you through every season of life. Let’s make this school year one of growth, connection, and mutual support. Here’s to a successful and fulfilling school year for everyone!

Parenting Survival Guide and Coach/Mom/Walking beside parents on their journey to build respectful relationships with their kids and reduce negative behaviours/Giving you confidence to enjoy parenting again!
Letting Go of Comparisons: Celebrating Your Child’s Unique Journey Society has taught us to race and compare our kids against one another. It's such a trap! Each child is unique, including their ability to learn different aspects of life. No two children learn at the same rate. Trying to make fair comparisons is an impossible task. And why would we want to? Will it matter when your child is 30 that they didn't tie their shoes until they were 6? Will it matter when they're 44 that they counted to 10 when they were 2? No, it won’t. Instead of comparing our children to others, we should compare them to themselves: Did they do better today than they did yesterday? Are we teaching them to be better human beings to the people around them? Are they kind and caring? These are the things that matter. These are the qualities that last until they're 30 and 45. What does your child know that will last a lifetime?

Love, Humanity and Compassion 🌟 Love What You Teach but Love Who You Teach More 🌟 At the heart of everything we do lies a strong belief in the power of compassion. Love for what we teach is important but love for whom we teach is what truly matters. Compassion isn't just a word to us—it's a guiding principle, a beacon of empathy that lights our path. It's about understanding, feeling, and celebrating each other's journeys, whether they be of pain or triumph. In our Element of Play® early learning play spaces, compassion isn't just a concept; it's a way of life. We don't offer pity; instead, we extend solidarity, support, and genuine connection to children and parents alike. Together, we forge bonds that build resilient communities where mutual care and cooperation thrive. Our work in the village of Petrevene serves as a testament to the transformative power of compassion. Here, amidst the humble abodes of young Roma families, we've witnessed firsthand the struggles and dreams of those often overlooked by society. Through years of dedication, our Element of Play® program has not only fostered understanding but has also birthed initiatives that spread joy and hope. One such initiative is the 'educational' shopping center, a beacon of light in a world often dimmed by hardship. With the invaluable support of partners like the "Znanie" Association and local leaders, we've created a space where children can learn through play, receiving essentials like food, clothes, and books in a setting that ignites their imagination. And as parents join their children in this playful pursuit, their smiles of gratitude speak volumes about the strength of community and the power of compassion. In Petrevene, compassion isn't just a virtue—it's a way of life. It's in the shared moments of support, the acts of kindness exchanged, and the unwavering commitment to uplift one another. Together, we're building a world where love and humanity reign —a world where compassion knows no bounds. ❤️ #Compassion #ElementOfPlay #CommunityLove

✨ AB Kids Life Coach/Parenting Coach| Revolutionizing the way you raise future leaders | Empowering parents with tools for raising SMART kids 💡👶 #ParentingRevolution
🔥 What if I told you that the secret to raising empathetic and value-rich children lies in our everyday nuances, not grand gestures? Click on 'see more' to unravel this secret! 🔥 It's a slow cook, not a quick fry. 🍲 We often dream of instilling deep cultural roots🌳 and a strong moral compass🧭 in our kids. We envision them as adults, rich in empathy and understanding, navigating a global society with grace and respect for all. Yet, the journey there is less about grand gestures and more about the subtle, everyday moments. It's in the stories we share from our own childhood, the festivals we celebrate with fervour🎉, and the diverse friendships we encourage. It's in the way we react to the news🗞️, treat the waiter at the café☕, and discuss the books that moved us📚. These nuances paint a broader picture, teaching our children the value of diversity🌍, the strength in kindness💪, and the wealth in cultural heritage🏛️. But here's the catch: it demands consistency. It requires us to be the living examples of these values. Because more than anything we tell them, it's what they see us do that sticks. So, let's commit to those small, daily acts of cultural and social education. Let's be the role models our children deserve. Share your thoughts 💭 or a small act you've incorporated into your family life that promotes cultural and social values. Let's inspire each other.

It may be Saturday, but every day is a school day, as they say. And today is a special one, it's Random Act of Kindness Day! It's to celebrate the power of small, thoughtful gestures. At school, we have the opportunity to uplift each other through simple acts like writing an appreciative note to a fellow teacher, helping the facilities staff with a task, or inviting support staff to sit together at lunch. 🙌🏻 These moments of connection matter because they boost morale, strengthen relationships, and spread goodwill. Let's commit to performing at least one act of kindness to someone today, even if you're not on the school site. 🤝 Don't think you can't fulfil this task because you're not in school today - there are opportunities to be kind all around us. Let's challenge ourselves to make thoughtful gestures a daily practice, not just something we do once a year. Together, through simple caring acts, we can build a community defined by our compassion and humanity. Be kind. 🫶💙 #awareness #kindness #randomactofkindness #thoughtful #beingkind #spreadlove #bekindalways #actsofkindness #kindnessmatters

#SheGraduatedToday #SheEarnedtheDonutsAndChocolateMilkshakeOfHerChoice Just recently, I had the joy of seeing the little queen next door graduate from kindergarten. Her excitement and pride were contagious, reminding me how every achievement, no matter the size, deserves celebration. This celebration was not just about her completing kindergarten; it was about acknowledging her efforts, resilience, and growth. Let’s make it a habit to recognize and celebrate these moments. It’s these celebrations that fuel our journey to bigger successes. So, whether it’s completing a project, reaching a personal goal, or any other milestone, let’s take a moment to appreciate and celebrate. #SmallWins #Motivation #CelebrateSuccess #GrowthMindset
