Proprioception what does this mean and why we really need to know

Here the Beckies chat about children and adults not wearing shoes and socks, how does this relate to power in practice and proprioception. We look at risk taking and understanding the child's needs and uniqueness. Would you wear your shoes inside your home ?Why do children need to feel the ground beneath their feet? Why do they need to know what different surfaces feel like ?What is proprioception, why do children need to know where their bodies begin and end.   Is it okay for children to be outside without shoes or wellies?Is this part of building joy into the child's life ?The main point is it is a choice !! How do you give the child the power to extend their own learning through their bodies.Children must be able to risk assess for themselves and learn how to do this, we use open ended questions to support this as a future life skill. Enable children to experience the world  and build their brains through their physical sense of self and their ideas.This thriving language podcast supports early years educationalist, primary education and families to gain understanding around children's unique learning paths.Grab a cuppa and join us and this awesome community of early years for a 10 min listen. Want to know more head to www.thrivinglanguage.co.uk for all your training needs and for children's one-one outdoor speech, language and communication sessions. We are delighted to also work with Mindy an amazing Forest School Lead on Little Adventures Forest Play Sessions.
