😂 the pie story

Hi! What specifically would you like in the video?

Hi Charlotte, thank you for your lovely comment. It is very important that children can use the toilet independently by the time they go to Reception for a few reasons - one being that this is something he will notice other children can do and might become embarrassed, and two being that unfortunately schools do not have the resources to have children who are in nappies. That being said, all children develop at different rates. You still have an entire year so don't stress. If he's not getting it now, take a break and then go back to it. If you keep trying when he's not ready he will find it all too stressful. You can contact your local children's centre and they should have some advice about different methods to try. It is also important to discover why he isn't responding to potty training. Is this a sensory need? Some children find comfort in nappies and don't like the feeling of something 'falling out' of them (sounds strange but it's true). It may also be useful to visit your doctor to rule out anything like an infection that might be causing distress when using the toilet. Good luck and let me know how you get on!

In the case of delaying his start - like I said, you have a lot of time. So continue applying to school as you normally would and a little nearer the time speak to the school if you're still concerned. Is he at nursery? X

@@LittleLearnersVideos thank you so much for your reply. I realised I should have probably added a bit of background once I had posted! He has coeliac disease so is under the hospital for this and we have spoken to the health visitor who said to contact her next year if he still isn't showing progress. I think it could be a sensory thing as he almost has a panic attack when the potty is mentioned. He also has epilepsy although is nearly one year seizure free so I am wondering if that could have anything to do with it. It's a confusing time but I am confident in him and believe he can do it. I am just very aware it is not the teachers job to change him but am trying to put a plan in place in my head for the next year and his school journey. It is frustrating because in all other aspects he is so ready for school and has no learning difficulties other than this. Really appreciate your advice more than you know! xxxxx

I'm so sorry to hear that. In that case I would recommend speaking to the hospital about an Educational Health Care Plan. This can give the school extra money to provide extra support for a child with an illness. Of course you'll want to still try to get him toilet trained but if EHCPs do take a lot of time to get sorted to it might be worth speaking to a doctor about it now to get some advice. Hope that helps! 😊

Oops! Better get learning because they're very basic skills.

@@sos1474 Have you had a degree? I did Early Childhood Studies and there is a lot more about EYFS than you think.

@@abimason2546 I have worked in Education and Child Protection over the past 23 years. I have 2 degrees (BSc & Masters) and currently doing a third (stressful!). I am very qualified, experienced, and I maintain what I commented. 😄

@@sos1474 I regret my degree so much. I did Early Childhood Studies but I didn't realise it was mainly management and I definitely do not want to be a manager; someone did ask me a few months ago but I said no because I wouldn't know what I am doing. In all my interviews they ask me if I know EYFS but I don't know what I am doing wrong; this is great and I am writing it all down and hopefully it will help me for my next interview this coming Monday but it seems to be my weakness. Do you know a good video about safeguarding? That is my biggest problem!! But even though I did level 6 I never had the opportunity to have level 3 and that's what they mainly want :'(

I am facing the same issue in searching jobs in UAE

I am glad I am not the only one! I have a degree as well Early Childhood Studies but in all my interviews they say I don't understand the EYFS so I will definitely write all of this down and try to practice for next week another interview. I haven't given up just yet but I want to.

Hi, I have some items on my TES shop: www.tes.com/teaching-resources/shop/littlelearnersmail I also offer EYFS consultation via email here: www.patreon.com/littlelearnersvideos

Hi! It sounds like they are using a document calls 'Birth to 5 Matters' for their assessment. I have a video about this (linked below) and talk about ranges from the timestamp 13:50 :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j5OVfJp-prmXpY0.html

Umalkhair Farah Great video. My wife and I are setting up a home childminding business and the video is a great help. We would like to buy the flash cards as shown in the video. Does it come exactly as shown fully laminated or as a download and you laminate it yourself? Thx
