•FAMILY TIME •
Most of us are busier than ever, with work, school, social activities and a growing to-do list. Sometimes this
can mean important activities such as quality family time can be neglected and pushed to the back of the agenda. However, the benefits of spending time as a family are hard to ignore, which is why it’s crucial to make the time as often as you can. Not only can it have a positive effect on your child’s mental health but make a real difference in their general wellbeing and academic performance. Here are just a few more benefits to consider.
Bonding time
Spending quality time together as a family allows everyone to bond. Whether this is partaking in everyday activities or going on holiday, creating warm memories is so valuable for your kids. In fact, strong child-parent bonds are only formed through consistent communication and meaningful time spent together.
Happier kids
Even though the entire family benefits from being together, it can have really a positive effect on your kids’ general wellbeing and happiness. Just remember, it’s the quality of interactions not the quantity that really count. Making small changes when spending time as a unit can make all the difference. For example, putting aside distractions and listening to each other can help make everyone feel loved and appreciated.
Builds self-esteem
When children feel as though they’re valued by their parents and spend time together often, it helps build up a positive sense of self-worth. This self-esteem often translates across to their social and school lives. Even better, family time doesn’t have to be expensive - activities such as going for a walk or a bike ride hold just as much worth. The important part is spending time together and enjoying each other’s company.
Improved mental health
The importance of family time on your kids’ mental health is significant. Children who feel engaged and connected in their family dynamic are more likely to be sociable, perform better in school and have less behavioural issues. In fact, recent studies have even shown that teens who have infrequent family dinners are twice as likely to use tobacco and alcohol.
Throw Back ⏪⏪ A few pictures and activities used within my EYFS placement (covering bonfire and Diwali but could be easily adapted) . Display all made through activities with the children to create jack and the bean stalk display which developed and added to with other stories. Didn’t take many pictures within this placement. I aim to take many more now using this profile. #eyfs #teacherlife #primaryteacher #primary #bonfireeyfs #diwalieyfs

Music ignites all areas of child development and skills for school readiness: intellectual, social and emotional, motor, language, and overall literacy. It helps the body and the mind work together. Exposing children to music during early development helps them learn the sounds and meanings of words. At Early World Nursery music is incorporated in our daily activities. It plays an important role in supporting our children in their holistic development. #earlyyearseducation #earlychildhoodeducation #abudhabi #eyfs #music #nursery #nahyancamp #uae #reemisland #bestnursery #earlyyearsfoundationstage #britishcurriculum

Koala 🐨 class working on their pre-writing skills. Pre-writing skills are the fundamental skills children need to develop before they are able to write. These skills contribute to the child's ability to hold and use a pencil, and the ability to draw, write, copy, and colour. ... These are the pencil strokes that most letters, numbers and early drawings are comprised of. #preschool #earlyyearseducation #earlychildhoodeducation #abudhabi #uae #prewriting #bestnursery #nursery #nahyancamp #eyfs #earlyyearsfoundationstage

I could not contain my excitement when I walked into a toy shop today and they had @lankakade animals! Isabella loves them and we are having so much fun stacking them all up. Just look at that unicorn 😍. I cannot tell you how good these animals are in real life. They are so chunky and the best quality. Definitely a toy that will last and can be passed down. Not to mention they are Fairtrade and eco friendly. This is not an add.

Freddie & his bestie had ALL of the cars out and someone mentioned that there were a lot of yellow vehicles... And that’s all it takes! “Can you group all of the yellow cars?” One question. That’s all. They did the rest independently and then Freddie started counting them- win!

Back by popular demand!! Being a full time mum means I am unable to run normal sessions during the February Half Term, however I am excited to be able to offer you TWO Dinophonics sessions within this week 🔸Monday 1:00 - 2:00 @ Tupsley Scout Hut 🔸Friday 10:00 - 11:00 @ Saxon Hall As I wouldn’t want anyone to miss a new Letter Sound, I’ve decided to bring back a favourite from a previous week. I asked for suggestions and I have received quite a few messages. The outstanding winner (and one of my own personal favourites!) is S, S, S! This is the very first Letter Sound within Jolly Phonics and a really good starting point if you haven’t explored Phonics or Dinophonics before. If you are part of a Nursery, a Childminder or run your own private venue and are considering booking a Dinophonics session, please feel free to pop along and see what all the fuss is about, I’d love to meet you! #dinophonics #dino #phonics #learningphonicsthefunway #involvemeandilearn #learningisfun #herefordshire #teachthewaytheylearn #earlyyearsfoundationstage #jollyphonics #eyfs

DIY Sensory Ribbon Box This was quick and easy to make. I used a screwdriver to make holes all around the cardboard box then inserted different coloured, textured and length ribbons through and then tied a knot on both ends. My 7 month old loved exploring this sensory box. Pulling the ribbons and I added some sensory balls for extra fun which he loved picking up and exploring. Recently my baby has been interested in boxes, opening and closing the lid on the box and exploring materials. This was inexpensive as I reused what I had in the house, this box was from a gift set, the ribbons are from old gift bags and from gifts I’ve received! #mamagot2shine #mama #mummy #daddy #parents #educational #eyfs #diy #easycrafts #hacks #mamahacks #recycle #reuse #giftbox #sensoryplay #sensory #ribbon #playideas #momlife #mummyblogger #pregnant #7monthsold #firsttimemom #familyfirst #mixedbabies #balls #kidsgames #toddlers #babygames #educationalgames

This kinda sums it all up. Whatever role I have taken thus far in my journey as an Early Years and educational professional this statement sums up what fuels my passion. Emotions are tricky things and we all need to learn the tools to manage them, even now as an adult I am still learning. So imagine being small and experiencing something that makes you feel BIG emotions? You would be grateful of the empathy and support to overcome or manage them 💛 #empathy #emotions #support #mindfulness #emotionaltoolkit #passion #eyfs #professional #seeadvisory
🚀 Little activity for today! My son has been counting in his play recently and taking an interest in numbers when he sees them out and about. His counting isn't clear but I know from his tone he is trying. His counting goes like this at the moment... 'un, doo, eee' then we skip to 'eight, den' 🤣❤️ So for today I've added these because we always count up and down the stairs. Adding counting in to your day I find really helps to introduce children to numbers naturally. Therefore, learning can happen gradually and they will naturally pick up on counting at an early age. I strongly believe children's readiness for school is about promoting emotional and physical development to enable them to have the best start and thrive at school. However, if your child shows an interest in numbers and letters then go with it while they are at that age when they absorb everything they see and hear. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 #mathematicaldevelopment #numbers #eyfs #earlyyears #learningthroughplay #playmatters #foundationsforschool #schoolreadiness

Filling the bird feeder - we’ve noticed a few robins fluttering about and watching us with their curious ways. We decided it was time to encourage a few more birds after our interest grew from a trip to a feeding station with our binoculars.

We have been practicing letters and sounds this morning with some tactile woolly letters. Little Bear helped me to make these letters and as we wrapped the wool around each letter we talked about the letter name and sound, we traced over the letter with our fingers and then we discussed the shape of the letter, was it curly or straight, did it go round or up and down? We then closed our eyes and tried to guess the letter by feeling it. We used wool today for #oursensorywinter but there are lots of ways you could make letters more tactile such as adding pom poms, making letters from sand paper or wrapping them in foil. I then extended the activity by putting the letters on a wooden tray with some pudding rice and coconut (which I had stored from a previous activity) and we had a go at mark making and copying some of the letters. I had put out a wooden spoon so Little could use the end but he found it a lot easier to use his finger. . . . . . . . . . . #earlyyears #markmaking #sensoryletters #literacy #earlyliteracy #tactilelearning #oursensorywinter #sensoryplay #eyfs #tactileletters #preschoolactivities #learningathome #montessori #montessoriathome #homeschool #playmatters #learningthroughplay

I couldn’t teach now without my #teachingapron by @teocraftcompany 💕 Doesn’t matter what year group you teach, it’s always useful! So tempted to treat myself to another one! 🌈 I really wanted one with a blue floral patterns on and all I did is ask and she went out and found the most perfect material! 👩🏻🏫👏🏻 #earlyyears #nevergoingtolooseanything #wheresthepengone #teacherlife #teacher #earlyyears #eyfs #ukteacher #teacheraofinstagram #flowers #blue #patterned #blueflowers #giveaway #teaching #orgnised #orgnisedteacher #orgnisation #ukteacher #teachersfollowteachers

O is for... 🌄Outdoors!🌄 The outdoors has so many opportunities for adventure and as a family we love to embrace that! . Ever since we bought the @piccalillyuk poncho it has to be worn whenever we go out 😂 I don't blame her though its super cosy!! .

Dear Boo, I love finding your little small world areas that you create. However- in the middle of the kitchen floor was not the best place for troll world....only my fifth visit the kitchen and I kicked it all over....I knew it was there too 🙄 #letterstomylittlelearners #looseparts #trolls #eyfs
Isabella can’t stop talking about London, so we decided to make some of the landmarks and transport together, can you work them out?! . . . She was *obsessed* with meeting the Queen and her corgi’s before we went, so she was over the moon when her daddy found a beautiful Corgi teddy in Hamley’s. Made up for her not actually meeting the Queen bless her 💕 . . . All toys from @babipur, don’t forget BUDDY for discount 💋 #lovebabipur #flatlay #woodentoys #visitlondon #grapat #grimms #plantoys #playathome #playathomemummy #toddlerlife #mumswithcameras #openendedplay #freeplay #learningthroughplay #openendedplay #openendedtoys #eyfs
Any bit of sunshine and we will take it! It's a waffle blocks and cardboard box kinda day. Javi built himself a house (asked for a REEAALLL cushion to go inside) and wanted help to make the box into a TV for his house. He wrote a couple of numbers on himself and getting Javi to do any kind of writing is no mean feat! . . . Questionable drawing of stickman by me 😂 and spot the bead sorting sensory play up in the background (vid in highlights) .. Javi is bored of that now but Raf keeps popping back. . . . #waffleblocks #play #imaginativeplay #recycle #tv #eyfs #mumofboys #outdoorboys #learnthroughplay #toysdontneedtobeexpensive #thewaffleblockswere #butididntbuythem #thanksgrandma 😆

Got some new ideas for play dough after the hols . Probably taking ideas from my other craft /slime business @imaginationstationmcr I have designed so much craft and slime stuff over there I will see if I can incorporate it into my early years side of work #playdough #eyfs #invitationtoplay_playdough
@thewonderweeks This app is great, I have learned so much about my baby’s brain development and the milestones he should be reaching for his age. This app also states when your baby will be entering the next leap in their brain development and when they’ll be going through a “fussy” phase so you know in advance why your baby is perhaps all of a sudden waking up during the night or fighting their sleep etc. I highly recommend this app. #mamagot2shine #mama #mummy #daddy #braindevelopment #brain #science #god #thankyougod #newborn #pregnant #newbornbaby #7monthsold #sleeproutine #babyroutine #babyprep #nursery #eyfs #educational #development #milestones #babyboy #babygirl #appstore #easytouse #mumtobe #momlife #mumblogger #maternityleave #stayathomemom

Circle time can help children to enjoy learning. It also helps children with their friendships and strengthens the relationship between the teacher and the class. #nurseryinsharjah #eyfs #eyfsteacher #eyfsideas #eyfsinspiration #eyfsclassroom #eyfsactivities #eyfsteachersofinstagram #eyfsfun #eyfsliteracy #eyfsnursery #sharjah #sharjahuae #sharjaha #mysharjah #sharjahblogger #moe #ministry #childrensministry
