Love and Be Loved This Summer.

Holidays are a very good opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends. It is very essential in strengthening the bond of love and in some other cases; it creates time to repair severed relationships. The culture of taking holidays is very common in Western countries especially when you compare to the rest of the world. People down here take it as a serious business and it is easy to see friends and couples planning their holidays together.We are More

Dreams of writing

I’m still a believer in the power of stories. Not just for children, but for people of any age. Whether the listener is a baby teething or a person in their nineties, we all love the magic that stories give us.

Of course, storytelling is a human instinct. You could argue that we tell stories all the time, whether it’s as simple as describing how our day went or as complicated as an anecdote told after five cocktails on a More

Every day a new story…and a story in the everyday

Stories are one of the most fundamental elements that make human beings what they are. As far back as we can remember, as far back as archaeological evidence will take us, humanity has told itself stories as a way to try and understand the world within and without us. The myths and legends of the ancient civilisations - the Greeks, the Egyptians, the Romans, the Indians and many more - can be seen as narratives which help us to unlock More

Spain for my Summer Holiday

I know it’s only April, but already I can’t wait for my vacation this summer. My husband and I are headed off to Spain to visit a friend. We’ll be staying in one of the charming Villas in Spain. I can’t think of a more romantic trip for your 20th anniversary. Villas in Spain are a perfect lodging option while visiting their shores because they are more private, quaint and comfortable then hotel lodgings. In a Villa you won’t More

The power of a good story….

With so much time being spent on their computers either playing online games or perhaps a solitaire card game, many children do not consider picking up a good book to read.

Reading to your child every day is something all parents must do. Experts know that a child that is read to not only learns to love reading but is more likely to do better in all areas of study when it comes time for them to go to More

The Year of the Rabbit

Nothing fosters understanding better than taking the time to enjoy the traditions of all cultures. I just watched a fabulous episode of Arthur which truly inspired me. DW was welcoming a little boy who had just arrived from Senegal. She drew a picture of her vision of Africa and it had kids taking a hippo bus to school and lions. The little boy, Shake, said that he lived in a city and had never seen a lion. DW decides to More

Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is a great opportunity to explore new ways of integrating story telling and movement. You may be looking for one of those great special needs teaching jobs and want something impressive for your cv or you may have a group of kids that you want to entertain. Either way, telling stories and dancing is a great way to learn. For this project you will need:

• A cd of some traditional Chinese Music
• a book about a dragon
• More

Amazing Learning

It is absolutely incredible how children learn. It can also be terrifying and depressing. Last night, my daughter was taking off her t-shirt and it got stuck on her head. It looked like a little head and she said ’look I am a Chinese man’. When I asked her where she learned this, I think she said ’Mr Tumbles’.

It is important to understand that young children are like sponges and they can easily pick up negative images and stereotypes More

Story Time

owadays, all parents want to do is get it right. Everybody is concerned with raising their children in the ‘right way’ and many parents make the mistake of trying to become more of a friend than a parent. The important thing is to remember that whilst children need love, care and attention, they equally need boundaries. Some things are, in my opinion, non-negotiable when it comes to parenting. Consistency and adherence to rules, incentives and consequences is a great way More
