Anita Vermeer, M.Ed. is a parent, coach and certified teacher with over 25 years of experience working for young children. Becoming a working, single mom at 40 without any family in the same country, she constantly felt guilty or anxious that she couldn’t do for her child what she did for hundreds of kids over the years!
When Anita’s son couldn’t handle a four-year-old preschool program, she felt lost!
She spent the rest of the year focused on changing her mindset. As she started letting go of the fears she started to recognize why things didn’t work. The more she let go of her guilt, the more she was able to trust her instincts. She intentionally changed her routine and as a result she now feels confident and wishes she knew then what she knows now.
Every mom should feel this peaceful confident feeling!
That’s why Anita started this collection of Resources! Knowing that your child can be ready for K with all of those smaller daily activities is PLENTY!
No need to do the fancy stuff or feel the societal pressure. Embedding simple activities will prepare them for independence and reinforce the loving relationship you want and need.
The 1008 Mission grew from this.
Doing 1008 activities between ages 2-5 is EASY!
