Discovering your child’s superpowers: an encouraging outlook on being different.

Do you have a child who doesn’t quite fit into a box? You may sometimes find yourself wishing they could just fit in.

A Biblical Approach to Early Childhood Development.
The biblical way of teaching is to teach children to love the Lord with all their heart, soul and might while educating them wholly: physically, mentally and spiritually.

Children grow up in a diverse, complex and often challenging world. With this in mind, researchers have begun to, increasingly, promote preschool curricula that embrace a whole-child approach that not only nurtures the mind, but also the heart and spirit.

Did you know that studying and revision are two different things? In a nutshell, ‘studying’ refers to the initial exposure a student has to the course material. This happens in the classroom or by reading the textbook.

Revision, however, is what happens after the initial study happens and relates to strategies or techniques used to visit and revisit the course material at consistent intervals, in order to gain a deeper understanding and easier recall.

Coding and Robotics.
Technology is playing an increasingly important role in all areas of our lives. Over the last two decades, the use of sophisticated technology has become more and more common in the classroom.

In recognition of this, South African primary schools are beginning to prioritise the introduction of coding and robotics into their curriculums. Indeed, in 2022 the Department of Basic Education confirmed that it would be introducing coding and robotics into the school curriculum for Grades R to 3 this year.

We love our children, however, parenting them is a complex and often confusing task.
