CALM AND CONNECTED - EPISODE 176
The brain has to learn really specific skills when a child is little, like learning to pack a bag, organize themselves, tidy their room, personal hygiene, learning how to get a task done as well as learning how to finish a task too. These are all such key skills and are often learnt as a child goes through life and education and learning them well will make life easier!

Teaching planning backwards and narrate what you’ve got to do
