When we consider what is appropriate for young children and their learning and development, sitting can be one of those contentious areas.

Take a look at this video from the always insightful Rae Pica Keynotes & Consulting on the subject of "No, Children Should Not Sit Still!"

Thank you to everyone who joined the online Babies Discovery Session yesterday evening. It was great to hear your thoughts and ideas and your takeaways from the session. This was a brand new session and your initial feedback was very encouraging.

I was also pleasantly surprised to have a parent joining the session purely in their capacity as a mum who said they found it very helpful.

For anyone who missed last night's Discovery Session and is a parent or works with babies then I will be holding this session again later on this year, so please keep an eye out for it.

My next Discovery Session is taking place on Thursday 29th February at 6pm. This time the focus is on Authentic Resources. Tickets 🎟️are £10.50 per person and you can book a place via the link shown:

I hope to see you at one of my Discovery Sessions soon.

Play asks children to rise....and they do. 💚

With time, space, and trust -- children naturally stretch their abilities and confidence.

This post from The Curiosity Approach aimed at managers in early childhood/early years shows the importance of understanding why your team needs to understand the reasons behind transforming your environment and the benefits. Therefore as the post says you need to have everyone on board.

If you are based in the Croydon area or elsewhere in South London and are following the Curiosity Approach then you and your team maybe interested in joining a Discovery Session where you can learn, share your thoughts and ideas about different areas of The Curiosity Approach.

For details of my upcoming Discovery Sessions, please see the link below:

I look forward to meeting you at a Discovery Session in the near future.

There are many of you opening up again today after the Christmas and New Year break.

Don't forget to reach out to parents and families for items that they may still have that you can reuse and recycle.

In addition to the items listed in the photo, think about asking for:
- Gift boxes
- Cardboard boxes
- Packaging
- Empty jars and tins

These are all brilliant examples of loose parts and open ended materials, which children will find fascinating and engaging plus it provides endless possibilities for them to explore.
