What others said about this webinar:

This was a great webinar, made me really think about just being in the moment and to slow down and take it all in. This is their childhood and what I'm doing is making a difference. All the little moments and things the children and i are doing add up to something huge. Thank you

Steph's exhortation to slow down was a really timely (pun intended) reminder for me in my practice. Often transitions are the hardest time in the day - for kaiako and tamariki alike - and it was such a great reminder that there is calm and often some magic in treating these moments as part of the journey rather than just racing to be in the next moment.

To trust our knowledge in explaining to parents what children are learning instead of school readiness.
