"You MUST keep telling these stories of policies of the past. Otherwise people will not know what used to be 'normal' for how we treated children."
Comments to me today frm a colleague who read a piece I'd drafted. I had asked, "Do you think this is too hard for people to read?"
Why is it so hard for us, British society, to think about children’s development rather than their age? What happens to our capacity for logical thinking? NICU = developmental impacts. It’s not rocket science.
Delightful - & revealing somethng profound.
Babies' *bodies* are *rhythmiclly* in tune w/ their world. (That's called Communicative Musicality.) Everythng that happens to them is written into thr body. They gain a *bodily* sense of safety&trust. Or they don't.

@FredaOByrne This looks amazing! We are champions of supporting parents to learn about Digital Play for Early Years. Our course of that name has been co-created in partnership with Edinburgh University School of Digital Education.
Yes and Yes! Our courses help parents and carers to explore the importance of play in the Early Years, how to support their children in play and also to see what a great job they are doing already.
Play is SO important. More training please for those adults who don't see the amazing thinking, problem solving, investigating, and all kinds of other "learning" that happens when children are given the time and space to play. Thank you for the tag @MichaelRosenYes

When you’re living in poverty, unaffordable bus fares restrict opportunities. This simply isn't right, especially for young parents already receiving less. We want free bus travel to those receiving UC & under 25s
