Good afternoon,

As you all know we love to support our little people and work really closely with outside agencies.

There are some games that really promote turn taking and making choices so I would like to ask anybody that could help for games that will help support this learning.

In particular we are looking for:

Mr Potato Head and Pop up Pirate

If your having a dig out of toys before the big man comes and have either of these games you are getting rid of then please could we be considered.

As always, your support is appreciated x

SEN sensory messy play session at Make Believe in Hartlepool on Sunday 11th December 10am - 11.30 am. These monthly sessions can be booked through the link below:
https://www.makebelievelp.co.uk/product/arfid/
All children with additional needs welcome.

People ask me all the time, “But what am I supposed to do instead? What am I pragmatically supposed to do?” (And that’s fair. I write in the realm of “theory” a lot.)

So here’s an action step.

Pick one of these this week. Memorize just one of them. Keep it in your pocket for the next time that a small person you love is crying.

Bite your tongue. Take all the time you need to pause mindfully and remember that you want to say something different, instead of just telling them to stop.

Then try it out. Try out the one you’ve memorized and practiced.

See how it goes. See how you feel. See how they feel.

[Image description: a stylistic illustration of a ship on the waves, and above it is a raincloud, raining tears into the ocean. The title of it is, “10 Things to Say instead of Stop Crying.” These are the 10 things, written on the waves:
1. It’s ok to be sad

2. This is really hard for you

3. I’m here with you
4. Tell me about it

5. I hear you

6. That was really scary, sad, etc.

7. I will help you work it out

8. I’m listening

9. I hear that you need space. I want to be here for you. I’ll stay close so you can find me when you’re ready.

10. It doesn’t feel fair.
