    Sensory Play and Treasure Baskets

    February 6, 2019

    Centuries ago children were not given toys to play with. The best they could hope for was whatever they found lying around on the floor. Toys are a fairly recent introduction and although they massively impact on the development of children, lessons can be learnt from centuries ago and play. Children concentrated for longer as they spent a longer period of time exploring each object. This is one of the most striking observations when a child is engaged in treasure basket play. The level of concentration they exhibit. From birth children learn through experiences and their environment. As soon as babies can sit aided and grasp they can access treasure…

    school holiday ideas :)

    January 2, 2018

    My children broke up this holiday only days before Christmas, this meant that we have a long time between the whole Christmas New Year buzz and school going back. This can feel like a bit of a drag after the hype of Christmas, without mentioning the expense involved meaning the last thing you want to do now is go and spend even more on days out. Here are my top ten activities to keep the little ones entertained in the break between new year and new term. 1: Playdough - so easy and so versatile. If you haven't already tried my snow playdough from my previous blog, take a look,…

    Why do I take a holistic approach to parenting?

    November 14, 2017

    That's easy, I have many professional qualifications that enable me to practise traditional parent coaching methods however I have three children all of which have had their personal struggles and I wanted to take a new approach. I wanted to look at new ways of working especially when it came to some more complex sleep and neurological issues I was faced with in my personal life. I know life as a parent isn't always as easy as it looks, and most of the issues we face are not that easy to see, however they are very real and bring very real problems.   I found that taking a more natural…

    Using Parent Coaches is finally becoming more of the norm but why?

    November 13, 2017

    Using Parent Coaches is finally becoming more of the norm. Why? It’s easy. If you wanted to improve your fitness, you would hire a personal trainer. If you wanted to learn new recipes you would join a class or buy a book. If you needed help with your animal's behaviour, you would hire an animal behaviourist.   So why if you are having issues at home would you ‘just muddle through’ or ‘expect it will pass’.   Our children are the most precious thing to us, so why not make your time with them the best it can be, after all we have them with us for such a short…

    Sleep and being a parent!

    April 27, 2016

    Sleep.....its one word that means so many different things once your a parent. It is no longer what you do all Sunday morning after a late Saturday night, it becomes what can control your life. From daytime naps to restless nights, to getting your teenager to bed on time, sleep is on every parents mind.
