Becky is delighted to be joined by Mindy as they chat all about what Mumma's might need to help them and their children to thrive in the early days of parenting. We find out about both their experiences from being pregnant to having a young baby.

We discover what helped us and what we could of had in place that would of really made a difference to our journey into motherhood. It turns out for us some of the very simple things in life like snuggling up at a friends house, getting cosy in a sleeping bag, having a cuppa and dunking several chocolate biscuits, chatting about all sorts of things and just being able to say whatever you need to, might hold the key to perinatal wellbeing.

Being a new parent is different for everyone, however perhaps creating a community where everyone feels accepted and supported with no judgement might just be what makes all the difference.

We would love to hear what helped you in your pregnancy and new baby journey?

Jo has a wealth of knowledge in early years and primary education, she is now using her expertise to specialise in sustainability. Jo designs and creates the most useful, curriculum and bespoke based resources from repurposed, recycled and natural objects. Personally, we are delighted to use Jo's resources in schools and settings we work with and in our own forest play approach sessions.

Jo also holds monthly 'creating resources evenings', where you and your team can visit her at the Gloucester Resource Centre and make your own resources to take away to your setting. These are a delightful evening of creating, team building and help to start your sustainable journey. There really is another way to resource your environment and to help the children to respect and understand their natural world.

Jo has a fabulous stock of brilliant resources at hand, so before you pop in your next order, we think you should head over to her Instagram and create your environment where the children and adults can celebrate enquiry based learning which doesn't cost the earth!

The Beckies are delighted to be joined by Dr Janet Rose, Emotion Coaching Co-Founder and Principle of Norland College.

We discuss shaping children’s brains and the importance of our communications as educators and teachers upon children’s lives, not only in practice now, but for their futures.

Janet explains how the way we talk and communicate with children shapes brains. She shares the latest research that is needed for practice. She enlightens us about the way children process the tone of the voice first. They are scanning their world; non-verbal interactions are recognised and processed.

We are wired to connect with our social world.

Babies and young children are seeking a response to their gestures – baby is connection seeking and communicating, and how the adult responds will literally be shaping the neuro-wiring in the child’s brains.

A career with children could be viewed as not being rocket science ( one of the children you listen to and teach may become a rocket scientist), however it is definitely brain science and choosing a career in early years and education or with any age child, mean’s you are responsible for creating the environments where brain development is optimal! Connections, communications, listening and trusting children’s ideas really does matter!
