Be kind, always.

Model kindness everywhere you go. We can’t always control a child’s behaviour but we can demonstrate kind habits and ways of showing kindness.

Remember, children are copy cats! 🐱

Just like adults, children profit from regular self-care activities and routines. In the same way that children learn new sounds and words by listening to those around them, they learn self-love by watching us. Participating in self-care rituals not only cultivates productive habits but it also prepares children for management of future stressors in healthy ways.

There is simply nothing better than snuggling up with a good book on a Sunday! 📚🐛 I remember the sense of calm I would feel after listening to a story read by my parents on a Sunday evening - what a way to start the week, am I right? I love books and I’m an avid supporter of early literacy development as you’ll know from my page so...

Keep your eyes peeled for an exciting announcement coming this week and maybe even a little giveaway. 🥳

Happy Sunday!

Also, who remembers the extraordinary Enid Blyton novels? 🙋‍♀️ They were my favourite!

READ READ READ!

I recently attended an online literacy intervention workshop with Raising Readers and it was FANTASTIC. The Raising Readers page has some helpful tips and tools to educate parents, professionals, teachers, students and the broader community on stimulating literacy development. There are multi-sensory learning packs available to promote letter, word and number recognition and to ignite the joy of reading.

Be consistent, be patient and watch the magic unfold.
