Watch Out for Energy Vampires
Relationships are an exchange of energy. We need those people who share enthusiasm and bring up
our energy level. Unfortunately, we also know people who drain our energy or leave us feeling
exhausted. These people who just “take” and don’t give support in return are sometimes called energy
vampires. If you would like to better understand energy vampires and are looking for strategies to deal
with them, this is the session for you!

Session 5: Fine Motor, Construction, and Loose Parts Play
In our final session, we will celebrate creativity and invention. We will explore how fine motor, building, and loose parts play invite children to think critically, experiment, and express ideas in open ended ways. Together we will look at how these hands-on experiences foster focus, persistence, and flexible thinking, and how simple materials can inspire big learning.
Play is so much more than something kids do. It is how children become!
If you are ready to get curious about how play shapes children’s brains, supports their development, and builds their confidence, come join this five-session series. Together we will explore ten different types of play, defining each one, watching it in action, and discovering why it matters so deeply for children. We will practice documenting play for our communities, Step Up to Quality experts, families, and most importantly, for our kids. Come ready to laugh, learn, and rediscover the incredible power of play, because only when we truly understand it can we honor both play and early childhood.

We Need to Keep Fighting
Nothing comes easy and some days everything seems to be a fight. Our biggest “fight” is overcoming the
resistance and forces that keep us from being our best. The silver lining is that we get to choose what to
fight for, where to direct our passion. During this session, we will reflect on the idea of what it takes to
keep fighting and become all we are meant to be (and not give up!).
