Magical Musical Kingdom Nursery (Musicaliti Nursery Book 1)

While it is uncomfortable being vulnerable with a child, as an adult, it gives your child an opportunity to learn to how behave appropriately when another person is hurt. Young children particularly can actually be very kind and considerate, while older children may giggle out of embarrassment or uncertainty. Helping children to understand that physical and emotional hurt is temporary is a valuable experience that will improve their people skills considerably.

They will learn and practise what they see, and it is in our interests to model a better way for them in the long-term. A secure child shares achievements and expects acknowledgement. Finding ways that work for both you and your child at this stage will prove invaluable in later years. There are many different types of achievements that children will want to share with you, some of which are dangerous, giving you the opportunity to explain danger and provide alternatives, and some of which are just annoying.

Dangerous displays are fantastic opportunities to build trust where, depending on your reaction, your child will learn to come to you for reliable advice for years to come — or learn that their uncertainty leads to punishment, in which case it is safer to seek the advice of inexperienced peers or strangers. Annoying displays, despite appearing fickle, are extremely valuable opportunities for developing independence, concentration, persistence and other similar self-motivating characteristics.

One of the best ways to turn this into a valuable experience is by finding a way to turn it into a self-correcting activity. Not only does it save your patience, it allows your child the opportunity to master skills that they enjoy for as long as they wish. Possible ways to manage dropping items from a surface, for example, can be to tie string or elastic to the object so that the child can learn to retrieve it, or perhaps find a way to have the child on the floor so that they can retrieve it themselves. Throw and catch is another activity which can become tedious.

Creating free wall space for them to perfect their throwing and catching fetching!

In all these activities, it is also useful to recognise that it is not only the activity they are doing that interests them, but that they want to share it with you that is important. And when in doubt, rock! Physically rocking your child at any age, whether happy, sad, clingy or ill, provides a multitude of benefits that children experience purely through physical contact, including closeness, support, comfort, familiar smell, and more!

A secure child is automatically trusting and speaks uncensored. Many times children will express what they see, or repeat things they hear, as an achievement of being able to relate the same event in different situations.

Whether reading aloud or using family nicknames in outside situations, this ability to recognise similarity in different environments develops their ability to find patterns, leading to better problem-solving skills, and is a great achievement to be celebrated. However, it is not necessarily comfortable to realise that your child overheard what you thought was a private conversation, and is now relating that conversation to a stranger, or copying your spontaneous, not-exactly-appropriate behaviour, like, when stuck in traffic!

It is important to differentiate any behaviour from a child in a way that the child can understand. For example, naughty behaviour is not a naughty child. Naughty behaviour gives a child the opportunity to make better choices in behaviour next time, but a naughty child is more likely to live up to the description of being a naughty child. Similarly, children may speak the truth, but in a hurtful way or inappropriate time. Punishing a child for speaking the truth can have severe detrimental long-term effects, including confusing the value of honesty.

A better way to manage the situation would be to explain at the time that it is not appropriate to discuss the conversation because it may be hurtful. Later when there is more time, it would be helpful to discuss why it was not appropriate, or why it may be hurtful. Helping children to think about how people may feel in different situations helps to develop empathy and compassionate behaviour, developing their ability to plan ahead and think before speaking.

Talking about the different ways that we treat people we know and people we do not know can both help the child to decide the appropriate time to make a comment, as well as helping to broach the subject of approaching strangers and becoming aware of personal safety. Self-control is a valuable management skill that will take them far. A secure child wants to do things for themselves. As children learn about their environment and routine, what is expected and what is not acceptable, they naturally try to take on jobs, particularly those that involve and affect them. However, when there is little time to choose an outfit and then battle with buttons or zips, independence can be a huge source of frustration for any parent or carer trying to balance child-rearing with the external responsibilities of traffic, and uncompromising work or school hours.

Taking time to read, helping themselves to food or drink, even tidying away on their own all have their place, and it is well worth the early time investment to allow opportunities for learning these skills, while finding the right balance. In all these situation, explanations at child level work much more effectively than over-ruling their judgement. Helping children to understand that sometimes help is needed in order for them to do other things is a valuable lesson, not only to spare you precious minutes, but also to encourage and develop teamwork and co-operative skills.

Sharing the load by compromising on which jobs you do and which job your child can do is a useful pattern for negotiation and delegation. Wednesday, 8 June Education theorists.

I am loving the ideas that I am coming across tho, and today it was the turn of Paulo Freire. This is one "name" see blog on Bruner for more on why "name" is in quotation marks that I came across at the beginning of my master's, and never stood still long enough to fully understand and appreciate his contribution. He was totally into equity of opportunity, and had a well-thought-out plan to restore this through education. His ideas involved teaching modern education in a culturally suitable way to those unable to afford it, the oppressed, which not only makes it more relevant but also returns a sense of value and humanity.

While "oppressors" we're urged to consider their role in oppressing others, he put the responsibility of becoming an example of taking a stand on the shoulders of the "oppressed". The culturally relevant angle makes me think of the Finnish education system that so many in England aspire to, and how, by creating a culturally-relevant system, they were able to significantly advance their academic ability as a nation.

Putting in considerable hard work, they found a way to build and unite not only education but the teaching profession. Frustratingly, English teachers appear to be more interested in merely replicating a system than applying principles, despite the considerable difference in the sizes of the nations involved, as well as the vastly different levels of diversity. Even comparisons with China and Japan have resulted in attempts to transplant systems instead of applying principles. England needs a system that works for the English, not a cut-and-paste job!

Next, thinking about a few groups in which I have been involved, these are processes that are either not well known at all, or completely ignored.

It makes me wonder about the application of simple respect, founded on relationship as opposed to attachment. It's a lot to think about, and I am considering using my findings towards a paper in its own right, using principles. British education , critical pedagogy , Finnish education , Paulo Freire. The new book that I'm still! So, in the last few weeks I've been looking at "names", literally, "names" and "ideas".

Familiar "names" from my very first teaching lectures in , through to completely new "names" and exciting "ideas" that I've not yet come across because of slightly different fields or interests. At one of my first academic conference presentations, I was challenged on a "name" that I automatically engendered as "him" - my challenger had actually met "her".

Right then, I had a delayed realisation that these "names" belonged to people, real people who lived and worked and, from most of my recent searches, also died. So it was with a weird sensation of "achievement" that my notes on Jerome Bruner last week did not include a death date, instead, including references to him still teaching at NYU as of October , when he turned Jerome Bruner, from educational psychology in teacher training in Johannesburg, ; Jerome Bruner from child development undergraduate readings in Bolton, In fact, I referred to his longevity just last week, while I tried to motivate my mother to eat a little more, walk a little more, well, make the most of doing what she can while she can, I guess.

And then, this evening, what made me look him up again? Just a week after re-researching his ideas and enormous, yet "controversial" contribution to education and psychology, ideas that are now virtually taken for granted? I'm not sure why I looked him up again, perhaps the fact of not having written a single word again today. And thinking about his influence and longevity. And thinking about educational disruption. Thinking about the effect his ideas have had, he totally disrupted the norms, thinking and expectations of his day. Based on his personal experience of learning and relearning, after being born blind and then recovering his sight at the age of 3, he researched and then challenged the system in which he found himself, the system in which he had been educated, a system of which he had become a product.

And, thankfully, he did not have the attitude of "well, if it was good enough for me My next thought was, how has this event missed the news? How have I not seen this yet? It happened, now, 3 days ago, how Until searching a little deeper, and boom. An obscure, academic obituary, a Facebook post that didn't happen to appear on my feed.

And again, like with so many other "names" of people with great "ideas" who had relatively recent death dates within my lifetime, for example , I am irrationally frustrated that our paths never crossed. And then I think to myself, I had a chance. At one stage last week, I thought about finding his email address, asking him about his thoughts on my ideas on the development of music making in young children. But then, life happened. No problem, I thought last week, I'll get to it once things settle down a little. After all, my attempts to contact "names" has been haphazardly hit-and-miss.

Some replied immediately, others have still not done. Some, I have travelled miles to see, forced myself to introduce and discuss my work with them, only to be given the name of someone else who may be more "appropriate".
