All children need time, space, self-directed play and sensitive adult support to develop these three Rs: regulate, relate, reason. Neuroscience shows it takes around 7/8 years to get there. That's one of the (many) reasons we need a kindergarten stage for 3- to 7-year-olds. https://t.co/ARUGCtEoYt
For young children's brains, RELATIONSHIPS matter more thm buildings. Hugs r as important as heat. @TIGERS_UK@lullabynursery@larkycanuck https://t.co/textacg7cc
It doesn't have to be this way. What parents do at home is more important than socio-economic status. Promote & support rich home learning! https://t.co/BflrICP9xM
