TEACH CHILDREN THE GOOD HABIT OF MONEY MANAGEMENT

Teach the good habit of money management!
One of the most important life skills you can give to anyone is the knowledge on how to manage their money. Something I wish I had been taught instead of some other subjects I have never needed to use in my life.
To teach children money management at a young age would be so beneficial to them and their future. Why this has never been statutory within schools has always baffled me (there are some theories but I'm not going to go into that!)
Recently I met with Simon Neale the area Director at Metro Bank Reading, and he informed me about Money Zone, a money management workshop they offer and have been delivering into schools since 2012. I was very impressed and wanted to help spread the word about this great and very useful learning aid.
No wonder Metro have won numerous awards they do seem to actually care!
So here is the information on what they offer, and you can decide if your school would benefit or not, I'm guessing you'll agree they would!
If you are interested in booking then get in touch with your local Metro Bank to arrange.
Introducing Growth Mindset to Corinna Care Home with Hum Bug
We are excited to announce Life's Little Bugs, five new online interactive workshops for 2021.
We successfully piloted our online workshops with many Berkshire schools over three months with Get Berkshire Active and Berkshire School Games' support and received positive feedback.
For teachers, nannies, childminders and homeschoolers to teach essential healthy habits. Children 5-8yrs. A good Covid recovery plan resource.
We’ve taken Life’s Little Bugs ethos outside to teach children respect, self-care, and healthy living in nature.
Lockdown has bought awareness of many things, with around 70% of us living in urban areas, our parks and green spaces have never felt so important for our mental & physical health.
Having studied with the Open University for six years, Linda attained an Honours degree in Psychology. This enabled her to become a Graduate Member of the British Psychological Society. She is also a member of the Society of Authors and the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. Linda has a keen interest in Mental Health issues, particularly where these issues are affecting children of primary school age, and this is why she wrote her book. Inspired by tales of woodland animals told to her by her father as a child, Arty the Bear was created.
Washing hands has become a new mantra. Life's Little Bugs has always encouraged this healthy habit through our books and workshops. Unfortunately, the current Covid-19 crisis has highlighted the importance of this daily practice, even more so.
Understanding we have to be mindful when educating children, so as not to trigger OCD tendencies, I have written this simple blog to outline when and how to wash hands.

One of the most amazing things to give is the gift of reading and the love for books. If like me, you are an avid reader, then you are aware of the places it can take you and the escape it can offer from your normal every day. But it can also be a very powerful tool to open up discussions with children and a way to communicate when other methods have failed. Relating through examples in a book or using the characters to talk through can be a great way to get the point across or explain a delicate subject. The results can be very potent!
This blog will give you tips to lay the foundation when encouraging and supporting a growth mindset.
