LEARNING
Preparing Our Children for Returning to School
By Laura Hellfeld, KoKoPie Families, Nurse Educator, Sleep Practitioner
Us parents quickly cleared dining tables and desks to make way for our children’s learning during lockdown. Many of us found ourselves asking in awe “How do the teachers do this?” We learned a lot and maybe even got into a bit of a groove with assisting our kids with home learning.
20 seconds. You can create a list together to help them remember important times at school for hand washing like before eating, returning inside from play, and every few hours. Your child may also benefit from practicing keeping physical distance from others in order to prevent crowding at sinks.
Recently, the government has given instruction for slowly re-opening schools. So us parents around the UK now find ourselves preparing our kids for that return amidst pandemic provisions. While we don’t know exactly what the school provisions will be, we can begin preparing our kids. One of the most important things we can do is to give our kids a sense of control and that can be through preparing for school together. Kids appreciate being involved and honest information helps them to feel more empowered and reduce anxiety.
Practice Social Distancing in Play: Many of our kids are excited to get back to play with their peers and may find the distancing measures hard. It’s important for them to know that the distancing measures are in place for their health and that this is temporary. School staff want to support friendships but our kids should, as much as possible, keep physical distance. We can help prepare our kids by practicing social distancing during play. Games like Simon Says, charades, or Pictionary allow for children to be interacting while maintaining distance.
Share Information: As appropriate, try to give your child as much of a picture as you can about what to expect when they return. Who will be their teacher? How many children will be in their group? What time is their lunch? Will they need to wear PPE? Your child may benefit from having these new expectations written or drawn and taped up where they can refer to them. You may even want to create a social story to help guide this communication. The social story would present details about returning to school in writing and pictures from your child’s perspective. Routine: Some families found solace with a routine in lockdown while others thrived on a lack of structure. With a return to school pending, now is a good time to begin bringing in that schooltime and bedtime routine. This is especially true if your child takes time in adjusting to changes in routine. Your child may also benefit from practicing wearing their uniform or PPE or even going through a ‘dry run’ of a school morning. Practice helps everything feel familiar before that first day. Hygiene Practices: Hand washing remains one of our greatest strategies for staying healthy. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to review with your child how to scrub all around their hands for familiesonline.co.uk
Social Circles: Speaking of friends, not all of our kid’s friends will be returning to school at the same time. These gaps in friendship circles may be deeply felt. To help with this, you and your child can discuss ways to keep that connection with a friend. The kids may enjoy a quick video-chat, mailing drawings, or sharing photos. Setting aside a regular time or reminders for this can help us support our kids in maintaining their friendships. Make a Checklist of ‘Needs’ Together: You and your child may want to put together a list of what they need for going back to school. Of course the usual will be on there like their uniform and school shoes. Your child may want to help you order those new school shoes or pencil case online. What does your child say they need? Maybe they want to add special after-school snacks onto the list and have those to look forward to. Prepare for Difficult Conversations: Our kids are naturally going to swap stories and share what they have heard about the virus. Some of these chats may include misinformation or include themes about illness and death. It’s nice for us parents to have a think now about how we want to approach these conversations. We can let our kids know that we are here for them and happy to chat about anything they hear at school. June 2020 5

Practising spelling is something simple you can do to help your child keep up to speed with English and prepare for a return to school, in the coming weeks or in September.
Learning to write is an essential skill, and once the technicalities are mastered, there’s no reason why it can’t be just as fun, creative and engaging as drawing, painting and colouring in. Here’s some tips on making writing simple, stress-free and enjoyable.

TECH SAVVY PARENTS
We’d like to tell you about Beanstalk, the brand new family app brought to you by the people behind KidStart. The only app of it’s kind, Beanstalk helps families come together to build a meaningful nest egg for their children’s future. They are on the look for tech savvy parents to give the app a whirl and change the way they save for their kids. From talking to parents, Beanstalk’s founders could see that the savings market for kids was broken. Almost every new parent wants to put something aside for their children to help launch them into adult life, but very few do, often because the existing products are confusing or poor value.
It’s simple – you can add all your children and yourself on to one app.
Even when parents do something, they often just keep it in cash. This may not be the right choice for longer term saving as the value can be eroded by inflation.
You don’t need to put any money into open an account and start saving:
That’s why Beanstalk was born – the revolutionary new way for families to make a real difference for their children and themselves.
Why choose Beanstalk?
All the family can help – grandparents, friends and the wider family can all contribute easily to your kids’ pots.
1. Use KidStart to earn free savings 2. Round up your purchases to save little and often 3. Top up or set up regular contributions if you would like. It’s designed for growth - at 0.5% the fee is one of the lowest, meaning more saved for your kids.
Click here to download the family app that invests in your kids. Follow the Beanstalk journey: @thebeanstalkapp on IG, FB and Twitter. Please note: capital as risk. As with any investment, the value can go down as well as up. familiesonline.co.uk

PARENTING
Dealing with Fighting Children By Tanith Carey Sibling rivalry and rows can be one of the most energysapping, nerve-jangling aspects of parenting. Now, still in partial lockdown, I’m pretty sure you desperately need a rest from constant cries of: “Mum, he hit me!” or “She’s taken my toy!” Stressful as it can be, it helps to remember that ALL siblings fight sometimes - it can even be a positive part of your children’s development which offers a safe training ground to learn how to deal with conflict. Sibling conflict is a natural part of family life which can never be avoided completely because it stems back to each child’s primitive need to survive by not missing out on their parents’ care and protection. Squabbles and explosions flare up because children are still developing control over the part of the brain that helps them manage their impulses.
what kids are REALLY fighting over and taking into account their development really helps. If you introduce evidence-based parenting strategies, which are based on science, not opinion, I guarantee your kids will get on better – even if not ALL of the time. HERE ARE MY 12 DETAILED TIPS. You can read more in my books:
In the teen years, rows can escalate further when siblings start to directly compare achievements and to define themselves in opposition to each other. But looking at it from the point of view of children, understanding 10 June 2020

WORK
Getting Back to Work By Mandy Garner In the past the phenomenon of returning to work - whether from maternity leave or longer periods of leave - was mainly associated with women. However, given the Covid-19 lockdown and extensive use of the furlough scheme over the last few months, the number of individuals facing transition back to work after a long period of leave is now much more widespread. This could be good news for traditional returners in that there may be a greater general sense of understanding of the issues involved. While furloughed workers will not face the daunting return to work after a long gap, they may need a period of adjustment to the new normal, whatever that might be.
The Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development suggests a re-induction period for furloughed workers. For longer-term returners, the issues of returning to the workforce are compounded by having to find a new job. As we face the prospect of more redundancies and a bleaker economic picture, that is likely to be harder. So what do you do if you have taken or been forced to take time out of the work place and you want to get back to work? We asked the team at Working Mums for their ideas and tips and to tell us about the FREE RESOURCE they offer mums returning to work. READ MORE.

LEARNING
New Nursery In York Celebrates Eco-Sustainability Little Peanuts Day Nursery and Forest School (LPDN) will open its doors in Wheldrake, York in early September 2020. With an on-site Forest School and a purpose-built play provision, the newly renovated facility promises to maximise its 1.8 acres of rural space to promote outdoor learning in an enchanting environment. With six dedicated and uniquely curated rooms, the nursery will cater for children from 3 months to school age. Additionally, the nursery will be using The Curiosity Approach™ at the core of its early year’s education ethos, which according to them is an essential modern approach that will bring passion and excitement to the setting.
environmental impact of all of their actions and ensure that they are an ecosustainable and socially responsible setting. Some of the actions they take day to day include: use of renewable energy suppliers for gas and water; have a switch it off policy for all electronic equipment; use LED light bulbs throughout the setting; source food that is locally produced and from sustainable sources; use washable wipes throughout the setting; compost any kitchen waste and offer additional recycling for parents as well as their own kerbside collections.
At heart of their strategy is ecosustainability and people’s place in the natural world. Little Peanuts will encourage their children and parents alike to be mindful of and take action to preserve resources and care for the world around them. Nursery Director, Sarah Hardwell says, ‘We are really excited to be opening ready for the autumn term. Through sustainability and living the mantra of reuse, reduce and recycle, our goal is to be one of the greenest nurseries in the UK.’
The on-site Forest School will provide a safe environment where children will be encouraged to learn by taking risks, making choices and using their initiative. Learning will take place in a natural setting on site in Wheldrake, helping children develop the knowledge and respect to care for the environment and support their own sense of wellbeing.
Sarah continues, ‘Our mission is it to provide an enriching early learning environment both indoors and out, that enables all children to flourish. With the help of our dedicated team, we want to ensure our children develop their creativity, independence, selfconfidence and wellbeing ready for their journey beyond Little Peanuts.’ Taking a closer look at what Little Peanuts will offer:

Forest School
The Curiosity Approach™ Instead of using brightly coloured, prescriptive, plastic toys, the Curiosity Approach™ focuses on resources that are often recycled genuine objects or loose parts from the natural world. By giving children real and authentic resources to play with, it opens-up a wealth of opportunities for learning and lets their imagination take the lead.
