  • Excited for Eldwick School by Lucy Blyth and Jane Courtney Mumby 1
    Excited for Eldwick school by Lucy Blyth and Jane Courtney Mumby 1. Let’s make friends and talk As parents we all want the best for our children, and we know that young children age 0 to 4 learn best when they have one to one care with a kind, patient, nurturing adult, and are gradually socialised with others. This helps them become confident and independent enough to attend a Nursery or pre school without us part time with one adult to 4 children when they are two years old, then one adult to 13 children when they are three years old, and then school for full days when they are four. However we also know that reality for most young families is that both parents are working as soon as they can after the birth of the child, and juggling children between private day care, family and friends. We are both mothers, and full time Early Years practitioners, and understand the pressure parents are under, and have written this to remind us all of a few simple things we can do to support our children that will help them become well rounded, sociable, confident, resilient individuals with healthy attitudes to and appetites for learning and to have made the progress necessary for them to be ready for the changes outlined above at the ages they are required to do them. In this first blog we are focusing on social skills and communication. Socialising our children is a long term project, and starts at birth, and in its simplest form is very similar to socialising a puppy.
