Next week we are trialling our new timetable that should encourage us to make time for outdoors/nature, yoga/capoeira & reading more regularly. I have tried to break the day in to smaller chunks to improve attention span. Our external classes don’t start until next week or the week after which should allow a more gentle change to the new time frames, we have also introduced a reward system that allows her to earn crystals to put in a jar that once full will grant a reward experience – first on her list is Legoland. Rewards are earned for attitude and responsibility like tidying up after herself and keeping her room tidy.
