January 01, 2021Episode 5 - 'Why we do not interfere when our child is completing a task for themselves'
Thank you for joining me!
In this session we cover:
Why offering to help is actually a hindrance because it breaks their concentration.

How offering to help them infers that they cannot complete the task, which lowers, rather than increases their self confidence.

What we can say when they do complete their task; so that we are honouring and celebrating their unique learning journey. (Rather than giving them praise that makes it all about us).

Why sitting close by to them, quietly observing them, is the most powerful support we could ever offer.🙏🏽

January 01, 2021Episode 4 - 'How to support our little people with intense feelings during lockdown'
Thank you for joining me!
In this session we cover:
At this time of unprecedented challenge for humanity, for communities, for families, for parents and for children there are some big feelings being expressed by our little people.

Our children may have seemed to be ok at the beginning of lockdown, however as this period of quarantine and uncertainty extends for all of us, new and undesirable behaviour may be appearing.

Know that this is normal and all that they need is our support.

But how to give it? What can we do to support them when we cannot to do anything to change the situation, assuage their fears or 'make it better'? 🤷🏼‍♀️

The empowering answer is that there is a huge amount that we can do. And what we do now will make a wealth of difference in their lives and their experience of this tumultuous time.

January 01, 2021Episode 3 - 'Why we don't correct our children when they get something wrong/confused/mixed up''
Thank you for joining me!
In this session we cover:
The reflex action we can have as adults, this impulse to correct when our children get something 'wrong' . Why does it bother us so much when their T shirt is on back to front? 🤔. It really doesn't matter in the big scheme of things does it. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It can be alot for our ego (and feel very uncomfortable) to NOT correct when our child wears their shoes on opposite feet or writes letters/numbers back to front or upside down.

This is about our child and allowing their sense of self to unfold. The fact they have tried and achieved it in their own way is immensely powerful.

Not correcting asks us to trust that "when the child is ready she will do it properly".

It is important for us to honour their path, their learning journey, and their 'mistakes'.
Enjoy!

January 01, 2021Episode 1 -'Help me to do it by myself'
Thank you for joining me!
In this session we cover:
Help me to do it myself!
This is the rallying call of every young child, even infants!
It is humbling to see how capable even the youngest child can be when s/he is given the opportunity.

It is astonishing to see how the simplest arrangement of a few key items at our child's height can support, empower and settle them.

We offer our littlest children an environment that is designed with their capability and self-direction in mind, so they can unfold into capable human beings.

There are lots of small changes that we can make today to make our homes really child-friendly, and lots of big changes too!
