Communication with your child - The Successful way!

 The communication with your child can be quite a challenge. To have an effective two-way communication between you and your little ones is so important, but at times can be very frustrating.

However, it has become apparent that a healthy two-way line of communication requires the same rules for both parties: the parent as well as the child.

Do you get frustrated with your child when you try and make something clear and their attention isn't entirely focussed on you and what you are saying? Their attention seems to be on something other than the conversation in hand?

Does The Education System Kill Creativity?

Have a look at this fantastic You Tube clip from Sir Ken Robinson about the Education system. It really makes you think.......




I especially love these messages he is trying to get accross:
"Creativity is as important as Literacy! We get educated out of creativity"
"If you are not prepared to be wrong, you never come up  with anything original, we are taught that making mistakes is wrong"
"Our job is to help children make something of the future"

What do you think?? Enjoy it and leave you comments below :)
