Resharing these images from we think deeply, to show that progress is not always linear.
We do not function at our best everyday yet we often expect our children to. Worrying if they are doing what they were previously.
Development takes time and many turns but is so worth the wait

Children build their sense of self from how we as the adults respond to them.

Let’s make sure we are praising the right things to make them truly intelligent!

If you ever want to know what a child truly thinks, don’t ask them!
Engage them in play - this is where they can tell the true story. Pretend play is a child’s way of story telling.

So cool to take a look at what is going on inside to make sounds…

Does anyone else start planning for the school holidays early?

I know it’s only Week 6, but my boys are in a nine-week term… which means holidays will be here before I know it!

Having two pre-teen boys means tech is life — they’d happily be on a screen all day if I let them. They’re not into craft (at least not the traditional kind), so I try to plan a few fun, interest-sparking activities ahead of time.

These kinds of things aren’t always cheap, but then again, neither are constant outings. For me, it’s about offering new and varied experiences that help their brains grow and stay curious — instead of zoning out in front of the iPad all day.

P.S. This isn’t a dig at iPads (they have their place!). But if we only ever did one thing all day, we’d all be a bit stuck, wouldn’t we?

I’d love to hear — what kinds of things do you plan in advance for the holidays?

A beautiful little play space for our early language kids to explore and play with peers. Who knows, mummy’s might even find a pal too x
