New Look & Direction for Ahimsa School

Introducing "The Science of Kids"

First, let me take a moment to say THANK YOU! I have been so honored that so many of you have subscribed. Further, many of you have reached out to give me feedback, say a kind word, and several of you have shared my work.

I’m humbled and honored❤️

Based on your feedback, I’m going to shift the direction of the blog a bit. It’ll still be about kids and how best to understand and support them. As a scientist, I find myself reading articles and thinking “everyone should know this!” So, I’m going to shift Ahimsa School to “The Science of Kids”. I’ll go over scientific articles and talk about how we can apply the principles to better support children in our homes, schools, and communities.

Some upcoming topics include

• What type of leisure reading best supports reading skills

• Can you use images to prime children to spontaneously be helpful

• How does anxiety affect learning and how can we create calm spaces

If you have any suggestions for topics you would like to see covered, please reach out! You can DM on Twitter @HippyMomPhD or email me at mamatenure@protonmail.com.

The new substack name will be scienceofkids.substack.com. You should remain subscribed so you don’t have to do anything. I will change it Wednesday before my next post.

Thank you again❤️
