    Preparing for residential

    In this episode, I am joined by my daughter Daizy. She is preparing for an exciting residential trip (2 nights camping and outdoor activities). She is a little nervous about going but we have talked things through and she has some good tips for any other children feeling a little worried about going away from home for the first time. As a mother I am feeling anxious too but I want to be super supportive of the amazing experiences she will have and can't wait to hear all about them.

Praise for a gifted, empathetic teacher and awe of those magnificent creatures and the highs of being a mother.

    Outsiders

    First podcast ever. All about the outdoors and how we can all enjoy our time outside more. For parents, carers, grandparents and educators making the outdoors part of everyday life can enhance not only your physical well being but mental health too. Even on rainy days it's better to go out. What are some things that hold us back from just putting on a pair of wellies and stomping in a puddle? Let's all thrive when we go outside.
