K4-K5 Practices
This webpage is dedicated to our 4-5 year olds, as they require a different kind of understanding and support, given their developmental level and related needs. The documents, tools and resources presented below have been designed with them in mind, catering to their budding immaturity, and compensating for their challenges, until their maturation unfolds.
CEBM would like to extend a special thank you to all the key people who have contributed to the development of this resources page. The following documents, tools and resources could not have been possible without their precious help.

Building Strong Child-Adult Relationships
Every year teachers need to create new relationships with the students in their class. With some students, this is easy to do. With others it can be more challenging. Here are some suggestions:
ENHANCING TEACHER, PARENT AND CHILD ATTACHMENT IN K-4 and K-5
This practice is a bit more complex and so schools may not be able to implement it this fall, however, there may be parts of it that could be used. The primary purpose is to enhance the relationship between the teacher and the parents of these young children and to create bonds with the children as well.

BOOK: Rest Play Grow
By Dr. Deborah MacNamara
Based on science and the relational developmental approach of renowned psychologist and bestselling author Gordon Neufeld, Rest, Play, Grow reveals how critical adults are in shaping the conditions to ensure young children flourish. This is the story of how young children develop, from their intense need for attachment and the vital importance of play to discipline that preserves growth.
