When we think about play and playdates, we think of children making a lot of noise and a lot more mess, but play is so much more than using toys and running around a playground.
Did you know that children have a finite amount of mental energy? They don’t have superpowers that allow them to sit and focus on things like we would expect (and want) them to.
Here are some practical tips on how to prepare your child if they are feeling a little anxious or hesitant to receive their vaccination.
As therapists we often get asked ‘is there a problem or will my child catch up with time?’
What we do know is that all children are unique and develop different skills at different speeds, but most children follow a similar developmental trajectory.
Kerstin is a secondary school teacher and has kindly shared with us her tips for ensuring Secondary School Students are successful and engaged during online learning:
We have been focusing a lot on Primary School aged children in our last few posts, so we decided to talk to two Secondary School Students to understand how they are coping with Online Learning.
At Young Folk Therapy we are in the fortunate position of working with a range of teachers in lots of different schools. What do know for sure, is that online learning is really challenging for them too. I have heard repeatedly that they miss seeing and interacting with the kids and while online learning is a great tool it is not even close to having a classroom full of energetic and unique kids. We’ve spoken to some of our favourite teachers who have kindly offered their advice to you during the next phase of online learning.
