Our latest news and endeavours
Last year, we sent letters to all primary schools in the Borough of Haringey to inform them of our services. We said we would be in touch again in the new year — so here we are.
There have been delays in our publications due to unforeseen circumstances, but we have certainly not been idle.
Members of our team have been busy engaging in personal development training and conducting research, while others have been in studies. We're all working to continue to provide up-to-date research to inform our practice, publications, and resources.
We have also been busy designing and refining the look and presentation of our booklets and educational resources, and we're pleased to report that these are now being printed.
Please visit our website for updates on the product launch and a taster of the publications.
Our booklets explore fundamental issues that are essential to the concept and rationale behind Seedlings. They rest on the fact that a solid foundation in child care development is crucial as we set out to influence parenting behaviour, promote cognitive development, and, advocate positive home—school liaison to nurture the emotional well-being of children and maximise their learning capabilities. We also encourage pro-social development for better and improved outcomes, highlighting the importance of early intervention.
The first three booklets in series one tackle topical developmental issues and building blocks for rounded and successful development with a longer-term view, pinpointing solutions that have a lasting impact and alter behaviour for a better and more stable future.
Two of the things that we may want to ensure, for example, are building a better and more competent workforce, and increasing manpower to influence the economic prowess of another generation.
Another is looking at investing in the mental health and well-being of the future generation, reducing the incidence of crimes and deviant behaviour and instilling in children a desire to live in communities that exhibit more tolerance, emotional intelligence, and socially adaptive and cohesive behaviour. This would be for the betterment of all.
To achieve these things, we must be proactive in addressing and challenging the factors that predispose our children and young people to academic failure, underachievement, poor mental health and well-being, and anti-social behaviour.
If we want to improve outcomes and secure a better future for the next generations, it is imperative that we actively seek to guide the learning and social and emotional behaviour of children and young people now.
Parents and caregivers are invaluable to that process.
The upcoming booklets make for essential reading and are crucial tools at a time when such resources have never been more necessary.
There is an urgent need to focus on early years education and care. Fortunately, this is an issue that is now being widely debated. It is a long overdue debate, but was addressed in a recent popular education editorial — tes.
The Booklets — A Synopsis
Examining the mechanics of emotions and the relevance of emotional intelligence in day-to-day functioning.
Can we maximise the benefits of cultivating emotional intelligence in children and young people to alter their behaviour?
How do we intervene promptly and effectively to tackle misbehaviour and alter behaviour in a way that promotes good self-esteem, increases confidence, and leads to well-rounded children?
These are just some of the many topics that our booklets will explore.
