<p>This week, Emma Pattinson and Abi Steven from North Somerset Council Parenting Team visited our <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/educa… 2 Early Years T Level</a> learners to discuss the impact that a child’s environment can have on their development.<o:p></o:p></p><p>This workshop focused on Parental Conflict and the impact on children, adolescent brain development, and trauma informed approaches. These are all very important topics for the future generation of early years educators to understand and be aware of.</p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Abi talking to the students&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="89a37e0c-4840-4bdb-aebb-104c8b78d05e" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p><o:p></o:p></p><p>During an <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/educa… Years</a> course, students are taught how to approach and talk to students, however they are less likely to be taught about how to interact with parents and families. Abi and Emma helped to build the students confidence with this by answering questions and discussing different home environments.<o:p></o:p></p><p>The session began by looking at the types of childhood trauma and the impact this trauma can have on a child’s development, not just mentally but holistically. Not only this, Abi and Emma also explained how children’s brains develop throughout their adolescence.<o:p></o:p></p><p>It is important for our <a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/educa… Years</a> students to understand that children need a supported environment, and their brain development can be impacted and have long term effects if they are exposed to an environment with regular conflict and trauma. It is also important to recognise children as individuals and that they are all different, therefore signs of trauma will not be universal and could appear differently depending on the child.<o:p></o:p></p><p>When discussing Parental Conflict, Abi organised her discussion in an engaging True or False format to get the students involved and thinking hard about the questions. The students seemed nervous and apprehensive to begin with but gained confidence in their answers as the session progressed.<o:p></o:p></p><p>They discussed the signs to look for when identifying a child suffering with family conflict as well as the distress and trauma that could accompany this. Abi also brought up statistics regarding parental relationships and the impact this could have on children which surprised some students.<o:p></o:p></p><p>As a final interactive task, Abi and Emma handed out large posters to the students, with the titles Social and Emotional Development, Physical Development, Academic/Cognitive, and Behaviour. The students were asked to fill out these sheets of paper with everything they knew regarding the impact that conflict and trauma could have on these topics. This was a great way to test their knowledge and encourage them to work together to fill in any blanks.<o:p></o:p></p><p>This was a very informative guest lecture as it made the students consider external factors that may explain certain child behaviour. This is a key part of being an early year’s educator as it is important to have a holistic approach to teaching and provide additional support to any children who may be experiencing family conflict or trauma.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Thank you to Emma and Abi from the North Somerset Council Parenting Team for taking the time to visit our students and deliver this impactful guest lecture.<o:p></o:p></p><p><a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/educa… you are interested in joining one of our Early Years courses in September, click here.</a></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:16px;margin-left:0;margin-top:16px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">In the last month, our Level 1 </span><a href="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/educa…; rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://www.weston.ac.uk/what-can-i-study/courses-16-18-year-olds/educa…; target="_blank">Education and Early Years</a><span style="font-size:inherit;"> learners hosted two ‘Stay and Play’ sessions for families in the local community to join a fun-filled drop-in session led by our learners.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:16px;margin-left:0;margin-top:16px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">The first ‘Stay and Play’ event offered learners an opportunity to put their planning and facilitation skills into action while providing a welcoming space for children aged 0-5 and their parents or carers. Under the guidance of their tutors, learners carefully planned, resourced, and delivered a variety of age-appropriate activities to engage the children and create a fun, supportive environment.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:16px;margin-left:0;margin-top:16px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">Eight learners facilitated the event on the day, while their peers played a vital role in planning, setting up, and tidying the room. The excitement was evident as they welcomed 10 families to the session. Our learners took the lead in registering families upon arrival, completing risk assessments for activities, and ensuring everything ran smoothly throughout the event.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Activities designed by learners for the children&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f705b83a-e1d8-4a44-8072-15dc28ff1406" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-bottom:16px;margin-left:0;margin-top:16px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">Despite some initial nerves, they embraced their roles with professionalism, engaging warmly with both the children and their parents. It was particularly rewarding to see the learners’ confidence grow as they interacted with families and managed the session with maturity.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:16px;margin-left:0;margin-top:16px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">Building on the success of the first session, our learners hosted their annual Christmas-themed ‘Stay and Play’ event.

Their responsibilities included advertising the event, sourcing materials, and planning festive activities tailored for young children.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:16px;margin-left:0;margin-top:16px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">The session was a joyful celebration of the season, welcoming children as young as 14 weeks old. Festive crafts, including Christmas card-making, were a highlight of the day, as was the opportunity for children to play with ‘snow,’ - a sensory experience that sparked curiosity and excitement.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p><drupal-entity alt="&quot;Fake snow for the children to play with&quot;" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="95babbdc-e2af-4f7e-908a-698b0ee772ba" data-embed-button="file_browser" data-entity-embed-display="image:image" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{&quot;image_style&quot;:&quot;max_500x500&quot;,&quot;image_link&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;image_loading&quot;:{&quot;attribute&quot;:&quot;lazy&quot;}}">&nbsp;</drupal-entity><p style="margin-bottom:16px;margin-left:0;margin-top:16px;">&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-bottom:16px;margin-left:0;margin-top:16px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">To top it all off, a very special visitor, Santa Clause, made an appearance, delighting the children and gifting each one a book to take home.&nbsp;</span></p><p style="margin-bottom:16px;margin-left:0;margin-top:16px;"><span style="font-size:inherit;">It was wonderful to see a different group of learners step into leadership roles for this session.
