Join me as I chat with Jac and Lorna from The Wee Coaching Company as we deep dive into the nervous system and how to ensure our environment, bodies and minds are as regulated as possible to ensure the best learning experience.

The Wee Coaching Company:

Lorna brings a holistic understanding of children, families, regulation and the realities of supporting people within busy systems. With 29 years across the NHS and coaching practice, she knows a child rarely needs fixing; they need the right environment, steady support and someone able to look beyond behaviour to what is happening underneath. This is the lens she brings to The Wee Coaching Company, now accredited as a Coach of Excellence.

Jac brings over two decades of primary classroom experience, including support for pupils with dyslexia, anxiety and additional needs. Her work has shown how deeply confidence shapes learning, and how quickly it can grow with the right approach. She has channelled this into 12 Wise for My Size books and a coaching certification programme for educators nationwide.

Together, Lorna and Jac bring practical, compassionate expertise to The Wee Coaching Company.

We don't always think of play as offering opportunities to learn in the traditional sense but what if it was actually the most powerful tool we had at our disposal, not only creating learning opportunities but making learning simple, fun and easy? This week's guest, Ruth from Play Nest Learning, shares how play based activities can be fun learning tools to build reading, writing and maths skills in the early years.

Ruth Parkinson-King

I'm a qualified teacher with experience in early years and KS1 classrooms who left the profession when my son was born and made the decision that we will home educate. With a 3.5 year old at home, I'm living the play-based approach every single day.
