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.

Scotland and Sensory Processing.
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.

Play!
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"

Why do children sleep so little?
Why do children sleep so little? - We have all met them, the parent with the child who slept through from six weeks old, and never experienced sleep deprecation! We have all admired them and hated them in equal measure.
