    Boys are from Mars, Girls are from Venus

    February 11, 2018

    There has been a lot of discussion I have seen recently in Facebook childcare groups around why we need to be mindful of the differences in how boys and girls learn. Boys are from Mars, Girls are from Venus. There is a known gap in educational achievement for boys and girls and there is a lot of work going into closing that gap. As a Mum of Three, two of which are boys this is a subject that has always fascinated me not only professionally but also personally. When watching my children at play and at work the differences to me can be seen, however in a classroom with so…

    The Best Winter Playdough

    November 27, 2017

    I have been playing with different recipes to try get the right winter playdough, but getting a white playdough is not easy. Add into this having children with sensitive skin when I did get the colour they ended up with irritated skin. Until today!!! We had a blast in our Snow Man Factory! I cannot wait to try snowballs next! The Playdough felt lovely, was WHITE!! and cleaned up easily, plus it is gluten free. The only downside was it takes a little longer than traditional playdough to make, find the recipe below. 1 cup of cornflour. 1 teaspoon of oil Half a cup of salt. 1 tablespoon of cream…

    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…

    But Why Wouldn’t Children Play Outdoors?

    October 12, 2017

    But why wouldn't children play Outdoors? This was asked to me in a workshop recently. The answer, there are so many reasons for the decline outdoor play. The reasons range from the weather, not wanting to get wet or dirty, to work and lifestyle commitments and choice, use of iPads and computers increasing, more clubs and activities that children attend, a declining freedom and desire for outdoor play in our current society, the list just goes on. That's why I believe being outdoors, engaging in risky play and experiencing choice and freedom is so important within a childcare setting. A recent study stated that many children and are spending less…

    Messy Play – love it or hate it??

    May 4, 2016

    Its so easy to forget as parents how the little things can occupy children, for example one child who's mum explained "she never sits still, she wont concentrate and so we wont be here long." was the last one to leave after her daughter sat in a tray of lentils and bird seed 5 minutes after arriving and didn't move for an hour and a half, she was just sat watching the seed run through her fingers, feeling the textures and watching how she could make it move.

    Play!

    February 3, 2016

    Play! So what is it all about? The Oxford Dictionary says 'to engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose.' I prefer the definition given by Play Scotland 'Play is the universal language of childhood. It is through play that children understand each other and make sense of the world around them.' This week I heard a great definition from a little boy I was working with "its what I do when I'm not being told what to do"
