Adverse discipline techniques don't make young people behave better. As adults in school settings, we are 50% of every interaction with a young person, so our behaviour is also communication.The way we interact ,give instructions, & respond can reduce problematic behaviour.🧠🌱

“Vygotsky talked about play being a mirror to the child’s development, the process of enquiry into practice supports the practitioners own learning.” (Wall et al., 2021:63) Fantastic book which was invaluable to my Froebel research project! 💕@lornaarnott and @kate_wall98

I just love this quote from Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. Another one to add to the list of reasons why play is such a wonderful and necessary thing.

Many parents don't know how to support their children to get ready for the move to primary school; a big emotional & practical leap. As a society & as the early years and family support sector, we can make a real difference by sharing helpful information with families #school

Play literacy.
Penny Wilson used this term earlier this year when visiting Sweden
Together we have written a definition in the hope that we can start a campaign that results in more play literate adults! It’s also in my book on riskyplay
