    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,…

    Free Family Christmas Ideas

    December 19, 2017

    Christmas can be such an expensive time of year. When really it should be about making memories, it seems to be more about the 'stuff' every year and the pressure and expense around this. Plus for children the hype starts so early that it is no wonder children can get a bit Christmassed out! I know mine are so ready for a break and some family time. That's what Christmas is really about family time and making memories so here are five activities I enjoy with my family that are cheap or free to create some lovely family time and memories over the Christmas period. 1: A festive movie -…

    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…

    The Stress and Magic of Babies First Christmas.

    November 17, 2017

    It is your babies first Christmas, the excitement is at fever pitch. Family and friends cannot wait to spend it with your bundle of joy, and everyone wants to know what to buy.   Arrgh…..what do you buy a baby? They have everything! Plus they often don’t really care if they get presents or not as they are more than happy with the boxes and wrapping paper.   Therefore what happens when you say “oh anything” or “they don’t need anything”, you get a house full of plastic noise making gifts! So beware.   That said babies first Christmas is an amazing magical time, you will get the best photos…

    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…

    Natural Remedies, Yes or No?

    August 8, 2017

    How many of you have considered using a natural therapy or natural medication? I have been surprised by the number of people I have spoken with recently who have or who would love to find out more about natural alternatives, this got me thinking. A while ago I did some training in using homeopathy and herbalism, which has always been of interest to me. However in my house we have a divide, I would much rather take an alternative route, where as my husband is polar opposite. Our children have somehow managed to be somewhere in the middle and have their own opinions depending on what they are trying to…
