50 Things To Do Before You’re Five – #19 Growing, Little People, Plants and Things!

What better way to explore the world around us than a trip to the Farm!

RB had a fantastic time getting up close to some amazing animals, watching them move, eat and explore their surroundings. It's a wonderful opportunity to talk about how animals grow and change, the different habitats they live in and how we can care for living things. 🌍🐘

Just like the plants we grow and nurture, children are constantly growing, learning and developing too! 🌱👧🏼👦🏼

Trips like this provide so many opportunities for children to learn through real-life experiences, encouraging their curiosity, language, understanding of the world and love of nature. 💕✨

We love seeing our little people explore, discover and learn about the wonderful world around them! 🌎💚

A child having a tantrum is not the same as a child having a meltdown — and knowing the difference can change everything.

A tantrum is often about a want, a limit, or frustration. The child may still have some control, even if their feelings are huge.

A meltdown is different. It is usually overload. Too much noise, too many demands, too many transitions, too much sensory input… and suddenly the child’s nervous system cannot cope anymore.

Both can look loud.
Both can look intense.
Both can happen in public.
Both can leave adults feeling stressed.

But the response needed is not always the same.

Sometimes a child needs a calm, firm boundary.
Sometimes they need fewer words, less noise, less pressure, and time to recover.

Before asking “How do I stop this behaviour?” it helps to ask:

“What is this child trying to communicate?”
“What happened before this?”
“Are they refusing… or are they overwhelmed?”
“Do they need a limit, or do they need support to feel safe again?”

Children’s big feelings are not always “bad behaviour.” Sometimes they are stress, confusion, tiredness, sensory overload, anxiety, or a nervous system asking for help.

The more we understand the cause, the better we can support the child.

Pause first. Look deeper. Respond with calm.
