Shark aquarium!! What have you been up to today? This was our lovely craft activity this afternoon, making a shark aquarium! It was a craft suggested to us a while ago on our Facebook group (thank you!!) #senresourcesblog #eyfs #eyfsinspiration #craft #kidscraft #waystolearnthroughplay #kidart #preschoolife #specialeducation #send #pblogger #sendblogger #parenting #homeschool #shark #cardboardbox #playmatters

Helping young children to develop an understanding of their own emotions and the emotions of others, is very important. If a child can start to use words, or signs to express how they are feeling it enables others to help them more effectively. For example, if a child is able to say when something is upsetting them, others can act accordingly to help. Understanding the emotions of others can help children socially. If a child can work out that when things they do upset others or make others happy, they may find developing friendships easier. There are lots of resources (children’s books, toys etc) available to help children develop their understanding of emotions, some of our favourites are listed below. Many of our recommendations are books, as those that read our blog regularly will know, I’m a big believer in the power of children’s books. They can be an excellent, informal and engaging way of helping children understand difficult concepts. This is one of our favourite books for helping children understand emotions. If you google The SEN Resources Blog and ‘emotions’ you’ll see the post with all our recommended resources Go to this link- https://senresourcesblog.com/2019/02/02/best-resources-for-helping-young-children-understand-their-emotions/ #senresourcesblog #emotions #specialeducation #send #eyfs #eyfsinspiration #teachersofinstagram #parenting #specialeducationalneeds

Having the morning ‘off’ again to write my book today! Have tidied my desk and am feeling a lot more productive!
