New podcast – when should my child start writing?

“One key message that I want to get across from all of my experience working in Early Years over the past 30 years, is that by trying to push children ahead, you often set them way further back. And actually, when you hold your nerve and follow your child's lead, when they get it, they will fly with it.”   

In this week’s podcast, you’ll hear why writing is so much more than just putting pen to paper and how it involves everything from swinging on the monkey bars at the park to talking together. In fact, your child has been learning to write since they were a tiny baby!
 
You’ll get top tips to make learning to write joyful and fun, with My First Five Years founders Alistair Bryce-Clegg and Jennie Johnson. Alistair quite literally wrote the book about how under fives learn to write, and shares his years of experience and knowledge with us all in this week's episode.
