The new school year is almost here. It's only 3 weeks away and that time is going to fly by 🛩🛩🛩

As you're making sure your child's uniform still fits, purchasing new shoes and getting everything else ready. Don't forget about the homework they should have completed over the summer or that topic they've really been struggling with or even ensuring they feel confident and relaxed going into the new year.

If you have forgotten about these things, don't worry. I still have a few slots available for tutoring sessions, don't leave it too long!

What do you know about stress and the effects it has on our brain?

Stress has a huge impact on the part of our brains that are involved with working memory, so much so, this part of stressed children's brains was significantly smaller compared to those who had less stress in their lives.

There can be changes to some of the important chemicals in the brain and body - cortisol and dopamine, when exposed to high levels of stress.

When our bodies sense anything that may cause stress our nervous system releases chemicals which cause:
- muscle tension
- increase in blood pressure
- slowed digestive system

Therefore it is important to ensure that children's stress levels stay low.

How can we do this?
- meditation
- mindfulness
- gratitude
- limit screen time
- turn off the news

If you would like to know more about how I can help you and your child do this, please get in touch.

Sometimes we need to dance, walk, move and experience our surroundings.

Sometimes we need to sit and be still. Allow our minds clear, be still and notice any thoughts that come into our minds.

How often do you or your child sit and just be still?

Mindfulness for children diploma… completed it!

Incredibly proud of myself for completing this diploma with a distinction. I have learnt so much about our different brain states and how meditation and mindfulness can be beneficial for both children and adults.

I am a firm believer that mindfulness should be a part of everyone’s lives, whether it’s something like gratitude - being grateful for what we do have rather than longing for what we don’t, mediation - relaxing and calming of the mind, or even mindfulness - being mindful of our surroundings, emotions, empathy. Even engaging with one of these areas can bring so much more peace and calm to our lives.

If you want to know more about how I can help you or your child, please get in contact.

Ever heard of the nursery rhyme ‘hey di**le di**le’?

Use the song to remember this poem about mean, median, mode and range!

Hey di**le di**le, the median is the middle. You add then divide for the mean. The mode is the one that appears the most and the range is the difference between.

Remember my previous post about memory? Well this is exactly where this comes into play. By being able to recall a story means that children are more likely to remember it.

Give it a go, repeat a few times and see if you can remember it 😊

The dreaded spellings!

Whose child absolutely hates having to do their spellings each week? Here's a few tricks to help them remember -

Use mnemonics. What is a mnemonic you ask? They help us to remember spellings or orders of letters or words by associating a rhyme or story to the word. For example: BECAUSE - big elephants can always understand small elephants. NECESSARY - not every cat eats sardines. Some are really yummy.

Can you think of any more? Drop them below.

Look, cover, write, check. This is another way to help with spellings. They look at the word, cover it up, write the word and then check it. This can be repeated many times for the same word until they remember how to spell it.

Singing the word can also be beneficial. By adding a rhyme or tune to the word helps to imprint it in your child memory, if they forget the spelling the tune should help them to recall how it sounds and act as a prompt.

Have you tried any of these?

Let me know which is your favourite and which ones work best!
