About This Course

What it is about.

Dr. Long spent decades teaching children through a television screen. This course turns that experience into practical lessons for parents, teachers, and caregivers: how to hold attention, teach through play, model kindness, and make every child feel seen.

What you will learn

  • Hold a child's attention without raising your voice
  • Teach letters, numbers, and feelings through play
  • Model kindness and representation in everyday moments
  • Build routines that make learning feel safe
  • Encourage the child who thinks they cannot
