The day we had no lolly ices left, one of our gang announced we could just “take a walk to the sweet shop and choose one from their freezer” 😂
And so off we went, holding hands, talking about the world around us - how many cars we could count, what colours they were, which numbers were on people front doors, all the flowers and ornaments in everyone’s gardens ………..
Funnily enough, walking encourages talking - which is perfect for our quieter children.
By walking side by side it removes the intensity of direct, face to face eye contact, which helps our little ones relax and be more comfortable around their peers
