Trisha is the founder of Make Believe Arts Charity- she has a wealth of knowledge around children's learning and the benefits of storytelling. She worked alongside the wonderful Vivian Gussin Paley - researching storytelling and acting.

We discover how from this friendship and collaboration Helicopter stories were created.

Helicopter stories can boost children's communication skills through storytelling & poetry.

The most educationally, connected powerful way to work with children is to observe and listen to all their communication.

We explore how a story could be one word and how we can treasure this.

This can be such a boost for every child, every child is involved.

Education is individual for all children and we love the way this approach captures this is fabulous.

Here the Beckies chats with Leanne and Lydia the co-founders of Flosst all about wellbeing and looking after ourselves. We delve into why babies, children’s and adults’ wellbeing and oral health is so crucial. We discover the benefits of mouth care for our whole body.

We learn top tips and helpful information that enables busy people to really look after themselves in a few easy ways. This fits in so well with everyone's wellness journey.

Small consistent daily habits really do work. So thinking about how to create healthy habits for little ones is so helpful.

Leanne and Lydia have so much everyday practice to share with us. The reason for creating their App is to use education and build ‘the why’ into caring for teeth and our whole self.

Let’s build everyday routines that matter and make a difference not only for now but for the children’s and our own healthy futures.

The Flosst App team have some free codes for Thriving Language listeners to say thank you for the vital work early years educators and teachers do.

Here we chat with two amazing forest school Mumma’s and discover what it feels like to join a session, what they thought it would be like and what benefits they believe being outside has brought to theirs and their children’s lives. We also have a very special guest ‘Kit’ who you can hear and who has been at our forest play sessions from 10 days old.

We discover what helped them to choose forest school? Why being outside in another space other than your garden can help you be in the moment. Vicky and Tarryn also chat honestly about being outside in every weather, they talk about being in the right clothes and having the shelter to keep them dry.

It helped them to discover that the weather does not have to dictate your life

Toddlers run around so much and move that they stay warm, they often end up taking layers off. Vicky chats about how her 10-day old baby was snuggled, warm and dry in his carrier next to her.

We chat together about feeding, helping and supporting each other.

Trusting children and helping them to be independent is key to our forest school and learning outcomes. This starts with tiny babies where sleep can be improved, friendships are made and serotonin is boosted.

We look at how forest school can help you and your little ones to thrive: Having a warming cuppa made for you whilst creating, making, learning, developing brains and starting parenting life together with your baby in a positive environment.

If you would like to know more about our outside sessions: ‘Cosy Mumma’s Thrive Tribe’, ‘Family Forest Play Sessions’ or our Outdoor Training for adults, educators and teachers please contact us at Rebecca@thrivinglanguage.co.uk or mindy@badgerwoodadventures.co.uk
