Perspectives
Welcome to Perspectives.
This is a corner where I share occasional, short reflections on how Behavioural Psychology applies to situations in every day life. I hope you find something helpful or thought-provoking.
Supporting children out of COVID restrictions
For nearly two years we've been teaching our children about social distancing. But from 6am today that all changes. Where does this leave our kids? How do we support them to re-engage comfortably? How do we help them 'unlearn' things that have been established over the last few years?
Flexible Learning Options - Let's get Technical!
If COVID has taught us anything, it’s that we no longer need to leave the house - let alone our sofa - to upskill. And so Soiléir have been using this enforced ‘desk time’ working hard to provide a variety of online learning opportunities.
Setting Limits
Ever found yourself trying to regain control by yelling things like “If you don’t stop fighting over it, I’ll throw that Nintendo Switch out the car window”?
Stop for a moment - that’s just not true, is it? You probably rely on that Switch for a bit of peace and quiet even more than your child does. Besides, it’s you who will foot the bill when the games console does smash off the tarmac. On top of which, your ‘empty’ threats are now just background noise to your kids.
