Listen "Life In The Early Years with Cath Larkin and Anne Statham"
Episode Synopsis
“I’ve always loved the hilarity of being around young children and I know that’s not the academic thing to be saying but they’re hilarious. They teach you all the time, they teach you something every day and it’s wonderful to be around them.” - Cath Larkin
Intro:
Cath Larkin has worked in the Early Years sector since the 90s. She has received huge praise for her ‘Inspirational’ leadership. She is an advocate for outdoor learning, forest-school based activities and ‘being in the moment’ with children rather than over-planning. She’s incredibly passionate about what she does, which is why even though she is now retired, she continues to train others in the UK and Internationally (including our very own team at Back To The Garden.) Today alongside Cath, we are welcoming back Anne Statham (who we interviewed in Episode 2). Anne is an Early Years specialist at Back To The Garden and a good friend of Cath’s. This is a jam-packed, informative and inspiring episode.
“I went into Early Years and never came out of it. Sometimes life has a way of tipping you into something or nudging you and off you go. You find where your supposed to be.” - Cath Larkin
We cover:
Cath’s personal journey and how she got to where she is today.
Her training and education
Where Anne met Cath and their work together
What’s inspired her in her work.
The pressures on parents to ‘see’ results of learning.
Outdoor play and it’s benefits
Creativity and it’s benefits
Healthy risk taking
Allowing children to resolve their own conflicts and the benefits of this in later years.
The importance of community
Why early years sector needs to be valued more in society
Mental Health and 2020 for parents, children and educators.
And so so so much more!
We’re thrilled to have these 2 wonderful guests on the show and we hope you enjoy hearing about their journey in early years education.
