What a great read! Thinking on how well my daughter does this with her 5 kiddos…I’m sure she doesn’t call it scaffolding…but that’ll stick in my brain now!
Oh, I love that! How beautiful for you to be able to watch your own daughter live this out with her kiddos, too! Indeed, the science calls it different things: Scaffolding, structure, autonomy support.
Each principle gets to the same general gist: be present, be supportive, and give them just the right level of support for life skills to grow.
Bethany... this is such a supportive, purposeful, and downright wonderful series for parents of young children!! My initial degree was in elementary education, and children are some of my favorite people. So I love what you're doing and how well you're doing it! And the way you place it within a biblical framework is strong and awesome. God bless you, your family, and your work!!
Thank you for such an encouraging note! ❤️ I especially appreciate hearing this from someone with an elementary education background (and what a fun tidbit to learn about your background!!) I've been pleasantly surprised by how many teachers and school districts have asked for a classroom adaptation of Notice It • Name It • Nurture It, so a teacher-focused book is officially in the works. I'd love to have your perspective when it's ready!
