Researchers have linked childhood play with adult achievement, so let’s see how play can help children understand and experience the world, develop vital skills and possibly even get a good job later in life.
The school terms are a magical thing for parents. Our kids get into such a good rhythm and learning is an easy part of everyday life. Better than that, our children are actively learning from peers, educators, and other people they’re in contact with throughout the day while we’re at work.
For parents, dialogic reading provides a chance to be an active listener, tap into your child’s interests and abilities, and have fun together. With a bit of practice, this reading approach is a chance to connect as parent and child, and help your little learner understand new words, worlds and ways of thinking.
Young children need sensory stimulation and room to move, so instead of keeping kids indoors, many early learning services recognise the importance of outdoor play and offer a variety of open-air experiences.
Your child’s mother tongue enables them to communicate, learn, socialise and make sense of the world, and if you’re fortunate enough to know two (or more) languages, then you’re encouraged to share them with your little linguist.
Toys are a fun way to develop youngsters’ motor skills, enliven their imagination, encourage social skills, practice problem-solving and foster independence, but it is possible to have too much of a good thing.
The idea of doing schoolwork in home time isn’t always appealing. Some children struggle with their homework, procrastinate or simply refuse to do it, but it is important to support your child’s home learning.
Here, we explore only some of the greatest reasons why we should be reading to our children from birth and when they’ll start to show you a keen interest in return.
Spending time outdoors is incredibly beneficial for children. It can grow their confidence, inspire their creativity, help them learn responsibility and support their overall mental wellbeing.
