This Child Can - Inclusive Tutoring and Support

What does a total solar eclipse actually *feel* like when you stop watching through a screen...and simply experience it? 🤔

We travelled as a family to the path of totality in Spain for the 2026 total solar eclipse. We left one camera running - nobody touched it - and for those extraordinary moments we simply watched, listened and experienced what it was like to be inside the Moon’s shadow.

The result isn’t really a film of an eclipse.

*It’s a film of what an eclipse does to the people experiencing it.*

And what an experience it was! Delighted to share this video with you all...enjoy!

*Highly* recommend doing this, if you ever get the opportunity! 🥰💕

Woo-hoo...a new This Child Can video all about making MEALTIMES on holiday a bit easier, and a LOT more fun!! 🍦🌴

“Are we nearly there yet?” 🛻

Usually asked before you’ve reached the end of your own road. GRRRRR, who HASN'T been there?!

We've been working on a summer series for This Child Can, and the latest video is about surviving long journeys with children without everyone arriving completely frazzled.

It goes beyond the usual advice about snacks and screens!

Worth a watch before your next family trip, or please share it with someone who might find it useful! ❤️

Long journeys with children can feel endless, but a few well-timed ...

✈️ A happier family holiday starts BEFORE you leave!

Parents (ok, usually me!) spend hours packing clothes, snacks, chargers and entertainment.

But how much time do we spend preparing the children? 🤔

In my latest video, hot off the press, I share some simple and DIFFERENT ways to help children feel more confident, involved and ready for the holiday they’ll *actually* have, not the flawless version we may have pictured.

A family holiday CAN include boredom, rain, delays, tiredness and disagreements...and still be absolutely wonderful!

Oh! And this is only part 1 in a holiday series... more very soon on surviving your family holiday in one piece (food, journey, meltdowns, etc)! 😆🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Sometimes, the hardest part of a school transition isn’t whether your child is ready.

It’s realising that you might not be. ❤️

Whether they’re starting school, moving to secondary, becoming more independent or heading off to university, letting go can be surprisingly emotional.

In this new video, I talk honestly about that strange mix of pride, sadness and love that comes with watching your child move on.

When your child is ready for the next stage, why can letting go fee...

🎉 We're officially LIVE!

Today I'm launching the This Child Can YouTube channel!

Over the past few months I've been creating a growing collection of *FREE* educational videos designed to help parents, tutors and teachers support children's learning with confidence.

You'll find practical, easy-to-follow lessons covering primary English and Maths, alongside learning support tips for all, including SEND, and advice designed to make tricky topics easier to explain.

Many adults want to help their children but aren't always sure how to explain a school topic, or where to start when a child is struggling.

That's exactly why I created this channel! 🥰

The vision is to build a FREE, supportive educational resource and community that helps children succeed, by helping the adults around them feel more confident.

With more than 30 videos already available and many more on the way, this is just the beginning!

Please take a look, subscribe, and share with anyone who might benefit...

Thank you for being part of the journey - can't wait to see where this leads! 💕

When it comes to learning, why do some children “just get it” - while others are left feeling stuck, frustrated or left behind? This Child Can breaks things down in a way that actually makes sense. You’ll find simple ways to explain tricky ideas, clever shortcuts, and small changes that can co...
