Children don’t need to ‘sit nicely’ to engage in mark making. All you need is a stick, a paintbrush & some tape. Great for focus & concentration whilst using big movement & gross motor skills. Lots of fun & giggles guaranteed with this activity ➡️starcatchers.org.uk/work/wee-inspi…

Remember watching Alison Lapper in BBC Child of Our Time since 2000, and being struck how determined she was, and so full of love for her son. So sad that she didn't receive love as a child and her son died so young. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

This is an interesting read, however, I would be interested in the views of people working in Education whether they think this applies to pre-school children too? Currently, we welcome parents to take "family days" and some of our children can't cope with a 5 day week yet.

This is a fantastic grant to apply for! We were very lucky to have been awarded it and I would recommend any eligible school/early years setting to apply! 🌿🍃❤️

I was lucky enough to hear @TinaMcGuff talk last week at my daughter's school. It was one of the most thought provoking talks I've ever been to. A very important message delivered brilliantly by Tina. #MentalWellbeing #Relationships

Interesting & informative article from National Autistic Society about Pica. Having worked with 3-5yr olds with ASN for the last 15+ years, pica isn't new, but it seems to be far more prevalent in recent years. Any thoughts why? #Pica autism.org.uk/advice-and-gui…

Emotion regulation is not about ignoring or suppressing feelings. It's about reflecting before reacting. Emotions are clues to values and interests. They should inform decisions, not dictate them. Choosing not to act on everything you feel is a mark of emotional intelligence.

This report outlines the barriers that children with ASN and their families face to playing outdoors during winter, and how these can be mitigated by the sector. You can read the report here 👉 thriveoutdoors.org.uk/resource/winte… #ShortestDayofPlay

How to be a great leader isn't a mystery. It's a learnable skill. But we don't talk enough about how. We just expect new leaders to figure it out - or already know. For those willing to put in the work to be a great leader, here are 16 do's and don'ts:
