They feel that children need to be learning ready \u2013 not from what they know already but how they are prepared using emotional balance and communication. \r\n\r\nSam and Charlotte are both mums of children under 5, with Charlotte\u2019s little one preparing to go to school for the first time in September.  We had a fascinating discussion with them about: \r\n\r\n\r\nWhether your child needs to be able to write their name and do basic maths before they start school (they don\u2019t..!) \r\nGiving parents the skills to feel empowered to have a proactive approach to building foundations for school.  \r\nWhat to do if you as a parent didn\u2019t like school yourself! \r\nWhy emotional balance is so important for this transition. \r\nHow we can model our own emotions to help our children\u2019s development. \r\nSpeech and language \u2013 encouraging communication in whichever way is appropriate for our children. \r\nPreparing for \u2018what you could do\u2019 rather than \u2018what you should do\u2019.  \r\nThe Foundations for skills workshop from Sam and Charlotte at 8.30pm 12 July 2023 (don\u2019t worry if you have missed it, get in touch with Sam / Charlotte as there is a recording you can access too!).
