    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…

    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…

    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…

    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…

    Scotland and Sensory Processing.

    June 8, 2016

    I could go on and on but to see my son changing before my eyes due to this seeming simple adaptation was so emotional and shocking at the effect it had, it was like sitting with a different child next to me at times the way he reacted and interacted, I was a very emotional Mum much to his total embarrassment.
