My son has been licking sea salt off my arm all month.
Sensory seeking isn't "weird" behaviour. It's a nervous system asking for input it needs. Taste, pressure, movement, texture. For some autistic kids, that seeking is loud and constant. Salt, deep hugs, spinning, chewing on collars. It's all the same instinct: the brain looking for the input that helps it feel regulated.
There is LOTS of this in my family.
Some adults spend so much energy trying to stop these behaviours instead of understanding them.
What's your child's sensory thing? Tell me below, I promise you're not the only one π

SATs Prep with a real Year 6 teacher Tuition Up
I taught Year 6 in schools for years before moving online, so I know this curriculum inside out. Not just the content, but exactly where kids get stuck and what actually builds their confidence back up.
Here's what I'm running this term:
π Monday 6pm - English (Reading, Writing, Grammar)
π’ Tuesday 6pm - Maths
Both sessions are objective led, so every class has a clear focus, and we go through real past SATs questions together so the skills actually stick.
Can't make it live? No stress. Every session is recorded (children never appear on camera) and shared after class so your child can catch up or go back over anything that needs more practice.
Β£30/month per subject. Weekly, term time only.
If you want your child walking into SATs feeling ready instead of rattled, come join us.

Rice. In chocolate. π«π
Saw it in China. Then saw it again here in Croatia "Mikado."
Turns out Croatia actually invented it back in 1963. (Source: AI ,ππ€)
Do we have rice choc in the UK?

"I worry that the world won't always be this beautiful." My son's words to me.
I didn't have a perfect response for him.
I can't promise him the world stays beautiful. But I can make sure he notices it while it is. And maybe that noticing is what protects it, in the end.
That's what worldschooling means to me. Not a curriculum. A way of paying attention.
It's also why Geography is my favourite subject to teach. It's not maps and capital cities but helping kids properly see the world they're growing up in.
If you're worldschooling or home educating and want lessons that actually connect to the life your family is living, this is what I do at Tuition Up Come say hello. π
