An.activity.a.day

Oh maybe! But even today on stories, she's posted a lot. But nothing about a little Christmas film or even one of the bbc short films like snail ane the whale or whatever. Would be perfect for her age.
TV doesn't have to be the devil. It isn't replacing books. But just a nice thing to do.
 
It might just be me but I do find it weird she gets things with her characters from films but she apparently hasn't seen them?! Especially for characters from Frozen that there isn't an actual book for?!


Slight detail but I also I find it weird when kids wear clothing branded with superheros or characters from films/tv shows thet haven't ever watched or probably too young to watch.
 
My kid wears loads of stuff from shows he’s never seen 😭
I hate it but my mum and MIL love trawling the sales, it all becomes nursery clothes.
 
Did anyone notice that she posted about her daughter getting uniform and mentioned the bag they have ordered for when R starts school? She made a point of saying they won't be having her name personalised on there (as a safety precaution) which is obviously a good thing. But honestly. I think the biggest safety concern is the fact that 41K people follow her so know her name and what she looks like and the area they live in! I just wish these influencers wouldn't share so many details about their children. Her content is great especially as she has an education background but she could share all of this without showing R's face! 10 years ago, it wasn't as bad because people weren't so aware of the safety aspect but as someone who works in education, it surprises me how much she shares of R.
 
Did anyone see her Yoto giveaway? She was getting people to click on a link (clearly affiliate) and then type in box what it was. I am glad she was told to take it down. It seemed so sneaky.

I was wondering what the reason was! That makes sense!

Does anyone else find it odd that she claims R has never watched TV but she's surrounded by Disney princess stuff?!
 
It baffles me that you hear a lot these days that you shouldn't actively teach things in depth stuff like the alphabet, phonics, maths etc before them starting reception/school because they'll basically know it all and be bored during lessons......I get taking their lead and if they're showing an interest in reading/writing to do stuff but the depth R seems to know compared to kids her age is quite advanced so I can totally see her being bored when she can already do all that but her peers can't.

She needs to make it clear that R is not performing at an age appropriate level because she is basically being taught by a teacher rather than playing!

School will be like a BREAK

AS IF we don’t have enough pressure, we now have to panic that our 3 year kids aren’t writing and doing maths?!?

The sad thing is that she's rushing through things without actually going deeper with her to really stretch her understanding of topics. Everything she's doing goes against good early years approaches. She can't say she's an advocate for the early years when she's basically trying to inflict the Key stage 1 curriculum on her through forced activities that she says are 'child led'. I feel for her future teachers as my gut feeling is Mum will be a nightmare.
 
I could be thinking too much into this but I noticed from today's story, then I looked at some previous posts, but R's fingernails look like they've been bitten quite a bit?

As a recovered nail biter and looking back it was definitely an anxious thing that made me do it and it is said that's its quite common for people with anxiety/stress. I find it quite unusual for someone so young to be biting their nails?! Genuinely wouldn't be surprised the poor wee girl is constantly worried she's not meeting her mother's expectations.
 
She's just said she uses no screen time at home and that she's watched some TV at nursery and they go to the cinema a few times a year. I guess they must read frozen/ other princess films? I do feel a bit sad that she's not allowed a simple downtime activity like tv. I think you can have things in moderation.
