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. ...continue reading here https://senresourcesblog.com/2019/02/02/best-resources-for-helping-young-children-understand-their-emotions/ #senresourcesblog #emotions #eyfs #send #sendblog #pblogger #pbloggeruk #learningathome #sendblogger #eyfsinspiration #parenting #toddlerlife

Found this absolute gem of a book in the library. Julia Donaldson’s brilliant Room of the Broom but with added sound buttons! Made me love this book even more. https://amzn.to/2NDdDVC Great for #sensory loving kids and for those that might need a helping hand in engaging with the book more. It’s brilliant and the sound effects and really great. #senresourcesblog #sensory #sensoryprocessingdisorder #autism #bookstagram #kidsbookstagram #books #kidsbook #kitlit #childrensbooks #juliadonaldson #roomonabroom #reading #send #sendblogger #pblogger #bookblogger #soundbook #parenting #toddlerlife

Know anyone celebrating Chinese New Year (Year of the Rat) in your school, nursery, pre school etc for Jan 25th? Here’s a really easy, fun and lovely craft.

I’ve seen coloured rice pop up on Instagram and Pinterest and if I’m honest I thought… “How on earth do people have the time to make that?!” But I was COMPLETELY mistaken in thinking it was hard work. It has to be the easiest thing to make! And unbelievably quick! I made six bags, with two kids in under 10 mins. Before I explain how, please please please be aware that this is NOT edible! It’s just for playing with. Supervise kids when they are playing with this and definitely don’t let children who are likely to put things in their mouths play with it please. And I take no responsibility for it being eaten. Also it won’t last forever and if it gets damp or dirty- throw it out. ....continue reading on The SEN Resources Blog https://senresourcesblog.com/2018/10/23/how-to-make-coloured-rice-for-sensory-play-in-3-minutes/ #senresourcesblog #sensoryplay #playmatters #fun #homeschool #playathome #importanceofplay #send #sendblogger #eyfs #eyfsinspiration #teachers #childminders #parenting #toddler #kids #craft
