Mother Tongue

Today we are catching up with an early years and primary school educator who has 15 years of experience under her belt. Mum to two, she moved from Singapore for Dubai less than a year ago and is putting all her efforts into helping parents organise a home space that is able to calm and stimulate children whilst encouraging independence and autonomy. 

She truly believes that children’s learning environments can have a significant impact on their academic and social development and that this shouldn’t be limited to school. 

On this episode we discuss playroom design and organisation, play set up ideas that wont take you hours to arrange, and tips on how you can do less to get your kids to play more! 

Tip: You do not need to buy your child a toy every time you go out! Children get overwhelmed by too many toys and more toys actually means less play.

Product: A forward facing bookshelf with only a few books on it and a book rotation system in place.
