☀️ Summer school holidays are well under way now. Here are some tips for you to think about as we start July. ☀️

🌸 Just be there - your children will remember how they feel, not all the activities.

🌸 Use their ideas - involve them in planning a summer holiday bucket list.

🌸 Let them reflect - talk about the fun things and proud moments over the last school year.

🌸 You are doing great - parenting is not easy, so remember you know them best and are doing your best.

🌼 June is here 🌼

This month's tips are about how to use a neurodiversity affirming approach in edcuation, at home, or in any group setting.

🌟 We need to recognise and value neurodivergence as a difference, not a disorder that needs to be fixed. Everyone needs to be respected and supported as they are, and should be allowed to be their true selves.

❓Do you agree?

🌟 My new webinar is out now! 🌟

🚸 I'm excited to share this webinar 'Neurodiversity Affirming Approaches in the Classroom - An Introduction'. It is perfect for anyone who works in a classroom - preschool educators, teachers, AIMS workers, SNAs.

👩‍🏫 In this 42 minute webinar, I outline what neurodivergence is, what it can look like, and how to support neurodivergent children in the mainstream classroom. I will provide some practical, strength-based strategies that support neurodivergent students while honouring their identities and unique ways of learning.

♥️ If you want to be truly neuroaffirming, let's change the narrative from "fixing" to understanding and empowering.

💻 You'll find the link in my bio to my TPT site. I'd appreciate it if you could share this link with anyone you know who works in education.

🏷️ I have kept the price low to make it accessible to as many educators as possible.

🎉 Once you purchase the webinar, you can email me at childs.talk.kildare@gmail.com or DM me, and I will send you a FREE summary sheet of the information covered.

❓What are Idioms?
Idioms are phrases that don’t always mean exactly what the words say—like “raining cats and dogs” or “piece of cake”.

💡Understanding what idioms mean is important in everyday communication. Because they don't have a literal meaning, their meanings often need to be explained or taught. This helps to reduce confusion, because without a knowledge of idioms, phrases can be taken too literally, leading to misunderstandings.

☘️ Why not explain these St Patrick's Day themed idioms today?

❓Have you used an idiom that you had to explain to a child?
