Foundations for starting school with Sam and Charlotte

“We don’t go to a French class already speaking French” was how Sam @SPDTuitionandCoaching started the podcast and this was how she and Charlotte want all parents to approach preparations for school.  They feel that children need to be learning ready – not from what they know already but how they are prepared using emotional balance and communication. Sam and Charlotte are both mums of children under 5, with Charlotte’s little one preparing to go to school for the first time in September. We had a fascinating discussion with them about: Whether your child needs to be able to write their name and do basic maths before they start school (they don’t..!) Giving parents the skills to feel empowered to have a proactive approach to building foundations for school.  What to do if you as a parent didn’t like school yourself! Why emotional balance is so important for this transition. How we can model our own emotions to help our children’s development. Speech and language – encouraging communication in whichever way is appropriate for our children. Preparing for ‘what you could do’ rather than ‘what you should do’.  The Foundations for skills workshop from Sam and Charlotte at 8.30pm 12 July 2023 (don’t worry if you have missed it, get in touch with Sam / Charlotte as there is a recording you can access too!).
