Totally agree, and supermarkets are a great place for making. If our son asked for a book, we generally said yes. Sweets no, but he realised very quickly where the yes responses were, and then we all got involved in the book.

What will you do with that time now?

Something to look forward to

Congratulations 🎊

I'll look forward to it. My son's school hold conversations like this. He embraced it and came away so satisfied that he was heard and the challenge he faced was overcome. He's learned a valuable life skill which I hope he'll practise. The teacher learnt a lot too.

Ooo congratulations Sue

Some brilliant answers that I'll take on.

I'd add:
#Listen - lots of it always
#Connect - there are so many connections to make. People, problems to solutions, ideas and skills
#Give - generously with your own learning
#Collect - stories, evidence, suggestions, ideas, feedback

The lights are up

That's a brilliant offer.
