I’ve learnt over the years as es be stressful and it’s OK to admit that life can sometim sidered that children can challenging. But have you ever con life experiences, such feel equally overwhelmed by different acked schedules? as sudden changes or their action-p

By Nicola Masters – Head of Early Years

& KS1 at Akeley Wood Junior School

We are all born with a capacity for resilience, but research shows that if we really want to become happy, healthy and successful human beings, resilience is something we need to instil in our children early on.

So what can you do as a parent to build resilience in your child?

One of the most important things you can do is help your child to develop secure bonds with adults, providing them with positive role models in their life. You should also provide opportunities for your children to regularly learn new skills and, more importantly, take risks!

Try to remember to…

• Listen with interest. I know it’s not always easy, but take 5, put the housework on hold and listen to your children’s thoughts and ideas without any distractions. Let them know that what they have to say to you is important.

• Show empathy. You don’t have to agree with their argument about why they don’t want to eat the vegetables on their plate, but modelling empathy as they are growing up makes it easier for them to try and understand others.

• Let go of being perfect. This isn’t always easy, particularly if you are a perfectionist at heart!

However, teaching your child that everyone makes mistakes and that failure is a natural part of learning is an important life skill.

and Nursery

• Stay positive. Children learn from the adults around them, so if you demonstrate positivity and rise to the challenge, so will they! Be the mum or dad that admits that sometimes things are hard but everything will be OK. Help them learn to appreciate the simple things in life such as going for a walk, spending time as a family and playing with their friends.

These types of experiences rely on outer support from family and other adults in your child’s life, but it’s important to remember that every child also needs to develop their inner strengths to enable them to become fully resilient. The inner strengths include: • Self control • Thinking skills • Confidence • Developing a positive outlook • Responsibility and participation The good news is that the road to resilience is one that every child will travel. It may not be at the same speed as their peers and there may be a few potholes along the way, but with a caring family and supportive adults, you can help your child get through any serious life challenges and find ways to bounce back and thrive!

Bubble snake blower

Summer

rafts CCraft

Playing outside with bubbles is an all time favourite. Cut the bottom off a plastic drink bottle, pull a sock over the bottom of the bottle, then dip the sock into a bowl of bubble mixture (washing up liquid & water). Blow through the top of the bottle and have lots of fun making bubble snakes!

Coloured Water Play

Nature Paint brushes

This water activity is easy and great fun – perfect for 1 – 5 years.

1. Fill two tubs with water and add food colouring to each. One with blue and one with yellow.

2 Set out a third, empty tub. Your little one will scoop and pour the coloured water into this tub.

3. Set out scoops to transfer the water, e.g. ice cream scoops, measuring spoons, serving spoons.

4. Let your child play! They will love scooping back and forth and seeing the colour change to green, yellow and blue.

For older children, add a red tub and extra empty tubs to give them the chance to make more colours.

Make simple paint brushes from nature and see what painty patterns you can create.

1. Go on a nature walk and collect ts of interesting pieces of nature – lots ves, bark, grasses, sheep’s wool etc. leaves, 2. Attach a piece of nature to a stick using an elastic band or a piece of string.

3. Layy out some paper and get some pots of paint.

Try ry dabbing the brushes on the paper or sweeping them across it. Have fun, get messy and explore!

(Part of a series of articles on children’s emotional well-being by Play Therapy UK).

CHILDREN’S EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIOUR PROBLEMS How you can help

The problems that affect children’s emotional well-being are many and varied. Over 60 have been identified with autistic spectrum and ADHD at the top of the list. Sometimes it is not obvious - a child may become shy because of lack of self-esteem or quiet and withdrawn because of traumatic experiences.

You are not alone as a parent if your child has one of these issues. 10% of UK children have a mental health problem and another 10% are estimated to have an emotional or behaviour problem that prevents them reaching their full potential.

The Good News

The brain has plasticity – the ability to change for the better, for example through therapy. However the brain is most plastic in our early years, so it’s important that psychological issues are dealt with as they emerge – from the age of four onwards.

Be Selective

There’ss a wide range of therapies available.

The most well-known is counselling, which is mainly a talking therapy which is most suitable for adults and teenagers. Younger children often cannot or do not want to talk about their problems so therapies that use play and the creative arts are more suitable for them.

It’s essential to choose a therapist who receives regular clinical supervision and is on a register accredited by the Professional Standards Authority or registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).

It’s also best to choose a therapy that has an adequate evidence base of clinical outcomes rather than just a knowledge base.

The Register of Play and Creative Arts Therapists, managed by Play Therapy UK, is the only one that meets all these criteria at present. Search www.playtherapyregister.org.uk to find your nearest therapist.

Editor's Review: By Tim Freed

A CHILD PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE

with Andy Nickerson Photography We all have cameras in our pockets these days and, as a result, we have a ridiculous amount of photos of our children.

Do we really need a professional photographer to take more?

My recent experience with Andy Nickerson Photography showed me that the answer to this question is an emphatic YES! Let me explain why.

The shoot was in Andy’s permanent, bespoke studio at his home in Brixworth, making it both homely and professional all at once. During the session, Andy took the photos and his wife Debbie supported him whilst entertaining and involving the children (and us!). They were both wonderfully relaxed, friendly and easy-going - the children immediately warmed to them, and there was lots of laughter throughout making it a memorable experience in its own right.

When it comes to the photos, Andy and Debbie pride themselves on being able to tease out a child’s natural personality and real expressions, and with good reason. Our children have VERY well practised photo smiles. I can’t stop them using those fake grins when I photograph them myself and yet Andy’s easy manner and quick trigger finger enabled him to capture the most natural shots of our children that I’ve ever seen.

Andy’s style is simple, natural, beautiful and striking, and he has captured and created the most wonderful images of our children. I absolutely love them and I know we will enjoy and treasure them for years to come.

But these are more than just nice photos. Andy is an artist, in the truest sense of the word. I can take photos, sure, but he creates works of art that make you go WOW. And that’s the difference.

Prices range from £150 to £845 for handcrafted artwork. See further examples of Andy and Debbie’s Maternity, Newborn and Child Portraiture at www.andynickerson.com. Tel: 01604 882945.

Reflexology

FOR FERTILITY

More and more couples all over the world are now having difficulties getting pregnant. Although most don’t like to talk about it, we know that this amounts to 1 in 6 couples here in the UK.

By Barbara Scott, author of 'Reflexology for Fertility' and practisin

It makes sense that to preserve our fertility we need to take good care of ourselves and make sure that our health and well-being are at their optimum.

There are many factors that affect fertility and these can range from identifiable and measurable conditions that affect the reproductive systems of both men and women to the more nebulous and less easy to measure effects of diet, nutrition, lifestyle factors and the environment.

One of the most important factors affecting fertility is age. Many women aren’t beginning to think about starting a family until they are in their early thirties, and given that female fertility begins to decline more rapidly around the age of 35, it can come as a bit of a shock that having a family might not be as easy as they thought.

Professor Adam Balen, chair of The British Fertility Society hosted The Fertility Health Summit at The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists earlier in 2016. The key topic was how to inform young people that their fertility has a ‘sell by’ date, and that it is finite.

Some interesting facts came out of the summit.

• 52% of all births are now from women over 30 • 67% of all births are now from men over 30 • The average age of first time mums has risen from 24 in 1971 to 28.5 in 2014.

Women are born with every egg that they will ever have and it is inevitable that these eggs will deteriorate with age. The rate that male fertility declines also increases from around the age of 40, although we know that it starts to fall prior to this. Although men are continually producing sperm, production slows down as we age and the sperm also tend to be less healthy.

24 July-Sept 2016 Toddle About

The

g Reflexologist for over 20 years!

Many couples believe that if they cannot conceive naturally then IVF will be the answer. Sadly many don’t realise that the success rates of IVF are still low, at around 25% per cycle. Additionally, undergoing IVF can be extremely demanding on many different levels - physiologically, emotionally, mentally, practically and, of course, financially. NHS funding is poor for IVF and self-funding can cost between £5,000 – £15,000 per cycle of IVF. It is estimated that an average of three cycles are needed for each successful outcome.

Increasing numbers of couples are now turning to complementary medicine and therapies to help them when they face difficulties in trying to conceive. Complementary therapies aim to support the more traditional approaches to medicine, and can be a useful adjunct, particularly for fertility issues.

They tend to look at issues on an holistic basis, which means addressing not just the physical issues, but emotional and mental issues too.

Reflexology is one such treatment that is gaining in popularity for both men and women. In a recent survey published by the Federation of Holistic Therapists, for 51% of those questioned who offered complementary therapies, reflexology was the main form of treatment used.

Reflexology is a form of complementary therapy that has been in existence for many thousands of years, originating in ancient Egypt, but also used in India and China. There are apparently hieroglyphs in Egypt that depict this form of treatment being undertaken for the healing of ailments.

icon tells you which advertisers have a voucher in the centre pages

As with most forms of complementary therapy, reflexology is rarely available under NHS treatment.

However, we are seeing more and more fertility clinics making it available as a form of treatment to support assisted conception. Although data and research are limited for complementary therapies, there are now some good pieces of research being undertaken that are showing how effective it is.

ReproflexologyTM (Reproductive Reflexology) is a specialist form of integrative medicine that uses medical testing to measure efficacy and outcomes of treatment, alongside the most longed-for result of having a baby. It aims to help couples achieve conception naturally, but if this is not possible due to the complexity of their reproductive health issues, then it is used to support all forms of assisted conception.

It is preferable that both parties attend an initial consultation, which helps the practitioner to assess their individual circumstances and plan their treatment. Treatment plans look at addressing any underlying causal factors that might be affecting fertility for both men and women. We also look at diet, nutrition and lifestyle as these can all be influencing factors.

For women, this means ensuring that each stage of their menstrual cycle is functioning as effectively as possible. When working with men we use semen analysis to assess and measure progress and effectiveness of treatment, and aim to treat any underlying conditions that may be affecting sperm volume (numbers), motility (ability to swim) and morphology (formation).

In 2011, we formed the Association of Reproductive Reflexologists and one of the things this allowed us to do was to carry out a small data collection study of 180 cases.

We found that 68% of couples conceived when using ReproflexologyTM as part of their fertility journey, typically alongside IVF. This compares with success rates of only 30% for those undertaking IVF alone.

Even though this is a relatively small sample, the results of our study support our firm belief that ReproflexologyTM is an effective form of fertility treatment.

Success stories from some reflexology practitioners include: • A couple trying to conceive for 4½ years conceived after three treatments.

• A couple trying to conceive for 6 years, with three failed attempts at IVF, conceived after fourteen treatments and now have a baby girl.

• A couple trying for 4 years had two miscarriages, four failed IVF treatments and testing done all over the world offering no conclusion. After 3 reflexology treatments they were pregnant.

• Two clients both with repeated miscarriages fell pregnant after 3 months of treatment which both resulted in live births.

• After trying to conceive for several years, a client was told that she had a 1% chance of conceiving naturally due to egg quality. She fell pregnant after approximately 8 reflexology treatments.

If you choose to use this as a form of treatment to support your fertility, it is important to find someone who is appropriately trained.

You will find a list of trained practitioners at www.reproductivereflexologists.co.uk.

Further information about how reflexology can support you in conceiving is available in Barbara Scott’s newly published book, ‘Reflexology for Fertility’ and at www.serennaturalfertility.co.uk.

Watkins

It works in a similar way to acupuncture, in that it is based on improving the flow of energy through ‘meridians’, which are a set of pathways in the body along which vital energy is said to flow. Small ‘blockages’ can obstruct this flow of energy and it is here that physical, mental or emotional symptoms begin to present themselves. By working on these specific reflex points in the feet, reflexology aims to improve the flow of energy and therefore the presenting condition.

So how effective is ReproflexologyTM as a form of treatment? There is much anecdotal evidence that supports its use but we want to offer more than that.

published by

Reflexology works on the principles that every part of the body is represented in specific reflex points in the feet, and by working on these points we are able to instigate changes or healing in the body. The body has an innate sense of being able to heal itself and sometimes just needs a gentle reminder of how things should be.

Barbara Scott trained with Nicola Hall of the Bayly School of Reflexology and she is a member of The British Reflexology Association, The Association of Reflexologists, The Federation of Holistic Therapists, and is now Chair of The Association of Reproductive Reflexologists. She has been in practice for over 20 years. She lives in Wales.

Toddle About does not recommend or promote reflexology as a treatment. The opinions shared in this article are those of the author alone and are not endorsed by Toddle About. We hope it makes for an interesting read however!

Lessons in business how diddi dance became a national success

Anne-Marie Martin is the founder and owner of diddi dance, a successful pre-school dance school with over 40 franchisees across the UK. Here she shares the secrets of her success.

# 1 come to be?

How did diddi dance

After teaching dance to older children for many years I discovered a gap in the market for the preschool age after many parents and carers were asking me if I knew of any fun and funky dance classes they could take their toddlers to. After starting up my own preschool dance classes and having a few trial sessions I settled upon a syllabus structure that was successful in engaging and encouraging toddlers to find enjoyment in moving to music.

“I’m proud to have built my business around my family using Neal’s Yard Remedies award winning skincare. Now you can too. Contact me for an informal chat or an information pack”

# 2 With over 40 franchises across the UK from How big is diddi dance now?

Aberdeen to Portsmouth, we currently cover over 30% of the UK and are expanding further every year. We are currently looking for passionate, driven individuals to open new diddi dance franchisees, in areas such as the Midlands, South West England and North West England if you’re interested!

# 3 I listen - especially to feedback from our

What is the secret of your success?

franchisees, teachers and customers as well as guidance from our experts in early years development, child psychology and business mentors. This keeps diddi dance evolving with the times. Our classes have been running since 2003 and they are regularly reviewed, updated and assessed to keep current and in line with preschool & EYFS standards.

# 4 had your time again?

What would you do differently if you

I am really happy with the organic growth of the company and what we have achieved to date, but if I had to do something different I would have sought advice from experts in the business industry earlier in the development of diddi dance. It took over 5 years to develop the franchise side of the business and get it officially off the ground and launched, this process might not have taken as long with expert support earlier on.

#5

What qualities make for the best franchisees?

We look for driven, enthusiastic, motivated individuals who have a passion for working with children, movement & teaching as well as a want to run their own business and make it succeed.

If you can apply these qualities to any business, there is no reason it shouldn’t be a success.

www.diddidance.com/franchise/

# 6 someone starting out in business?

What advice would you give to

Research and passion. Make sure your business, whether your own or a franchise, is something you are passionate about so it doesn’t feel like a burden and therefore is more enjoyable for you. As for research - check for trademarks and do your market research so that you are launching your business with as much background information as you possibly can to make sure it will stand out amongst competitors.
