24.01.2022 Too Much Too Soon Much of what we consider education in schools is out of relationship with the CHILD because it is not developmentally appropriate. In the 'one... size fits all regardless' system, children are expected to succeed in abstract learning their neurological systems aren't ready for - yet. Some children do succeed; and many more struggle and don't succeed because the task is beyond their cognitive capability for now. And only for now. Education is up for a huge overhaul and you and I can join by allowing our children to unfold at their own pace, not pressuring them. We can support the teachers who are moving outside of the square and offering programmes that do align with the child's needs and developmental capabilities. These teachers are gold, they will bring about the change. (They also take a fair bit of flack so your support makes a difference for them.) #toomuchtoosoon #whatsthehurry #childrenunfoldattheirownpace #respectthechild #supportthechildsdevelopment

12.01.2022 In twenty years time... People will not ask the children of 2020 if they caught up with their studies. They will not ask them what grades they made, despite the... year off school. They will ask them with wonder ‘what was it like?’ They will ask them ‘how did you cope?’ ‘How did you feel?’ ‘What do you remember of those days? They will listen in awe to the tales of clapping on doorsteps for the medical workers. They will sit open-mouthed to hear of daily walks being the only life we saw and how much we missed human contact and gatherings. They will be amazed to know about empty supermarkets, online concerts, birthdays spent on a screen and a life lived inside. They will listen, then sit back with amazement and say, ‘Wow. You went through so much.’ So think about what you would like your children to take away from this whole year. Tell them they are not behind. Tell them they are not missing out. Tell them they are extremely special indeed and they will be forever made stronger by this unique time. Tell them catching up is not even a thing because they have grown so much in so many other ways. Remind them too of the fun stuff, the family jigsaws, the window rainbows, the zoom bingo. The feeling of safety and togetherness amidst the chaos. Let them take that thought with them through life. Change the narrative now and it will travel far. Tell the children they are not behind. They are special. They are special.
