Brain imaging studies have shown that children grow more grey matter if they are stimulated by play, and other studies have demonstrated the developmental payback is all the greater when adults participate. NZ researchers have analysed the research in this area for a policy brief, concluding it’s a no-brainer to give caregivers every opportunity to maximise the fun. #earlyyears

Happy #ElmerDay 🐘
I'm a huge fan of #Elmer, his story is great for stimulating learning, especially about #colours. My favourite activities are making Elmer #biscuits & Elmer candle holders 🌈

Punk Kaf the early years
Kaf came from the isle of Wight, and like most of us born in the early sixties she fell in love with punk rock as soon as she became aware of it, which was from the start. As a young teenager she discovered a new energy and lust for life in a world that seemed to hold nothing for the likes of us. Kids who grew up with no

I am troubled.
I was just at the shops and there was a young woman - presumably the mother - with a toddler and a newborn.
The baby was crying in a "pay attention to me" kind of way. But the young woman did not attend to the bub.
The crying then escalated to a clear wail of distress. This was a newborn bub who was literally crying out for attention and was not having its needs met.
For over 5min. (Possibly longer - I left the store and the bub was still distressed and wailing.)
It was very uncomfortable.
The person next to me in the line seemed equally concerned for the bub.
I tried to engage the woman, to see if I could create an opening to help/intervene but it didn't go anywhere.
On a parental level it really hit me.
And on a health professional level it really hit me because I saw this newborn desperately trying to get attention and it was being ignored.
Something was very wrong with the dyad :pickitup:
But as a stranger in a shop - what to do???

#UKNews: The Education Committee has launched an inquiry into #childcare affordability and early years education, thanks in large part to a petition by campaign group Pregnant Then Screwed. 👏
Here are a couple of images from their march in Bristol in October, which I was commissioned to shoot. A really fun day behind the lens for an important cause. 👶
