Children are sponges and will copy both positive and negative behaviour of those around them. Respect, tolerance and sharing with others start in the sandpit. Deirdre shares her advice about how to keep children safe; ways to manage the wider world; the benefits of repetition; the importance of consistency and feral times. She talks about the ‘grumpy bone’ and when parents should seek chiropractic help if a child is out of sorts. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
