23.01.2022 A homemade growth chart is a great way to develop your child’s early numeracy skills. That’s because children find maths and numeracy concepts like height and measurement easier to understand when they can relate them to something real like themselves. When you put your child’s growth chart somewhere easy to see, like a doorway or the hall, your child is reminded of these early numeracy concepts every time they walk past. Find out more about what you need for a growth chart numeracy activity from Raising Children Network, below.

10.01.2022 The Raising Children website has a post all about pocket money. Giving pocket money to children as young as four or five years helps them start learning about the value of money and money management.

Pocket money can also help children learn about consequences, including the consequences of losing money or sp...ending it unwisely. Letting children make a few mistakes is part of the learning process. https://raisingchildren.net.au//chores-pocket/pocket-money
