Hey, Moms and Dads! Have you ever felt incredibly proud when your little one accomplishes things that may seem simple but are actually significant? For example, their first steps, their first words, or their first day at school. Each of these moments, though small in appearance, is an important achievement that deserves celebration!

What Are Inchstones?

You’ve likely heard of milestones, right? Well, inchstones are similar, but they focus on the small achievements we often overlook. It's about celebrating every small step of a child in a creative and fun way, recognizing every effort and progress they make, no matter how minor.

Why Are Inchstones Important?

In this digital age, it’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing your child’s development to others through social media or parenting websites. You might often worry, "Why hasn’t my

child done this or that yet?" Remember, every child is unique and develops in their own way. Valuing inchstones helps us to avoid jumping to conclusions prematurely and to appreciate the growth process more.

How to Celebrate Inchstones

Creativity is key! For instance, when your child memorizes the multiplication table of 1 and 2, you could write a small note and stick it on the fridge. This can serve as a daily reminder that their small efforts are important and valuable.

Tips for Celebrating Inchstones:

1.    Focus on Effort: It's better to focus on the effort your child makes rather than just the end result.

2.    Consistency: Continuously acknowledging and celebrating every achievement, no matter how small, helps build positive habits.

3.    Involve the Family: Include grandparents and all family members in supporting the child’s achievements. This makes the child feel more valued and loved.

4.    Keep It Fun: Maintain a light and fun celebration atmosphere, helping the child feel proud and happy with every progress they make.

Inchstones are not just about appreciating achievements; they are also about building the child’s confidence and teaching them that every small step is valuable. Let's celebrate every

inchstone together!
