About Edwina

I believe that anything worth doing, is worth doing well. And the things that are worth doing, are never easy. They always require commitment, hard work and often sacrifice.

Parenting and teaching fall into these categories.

To parent and teach well, we have to be brave enough to do what is best for children. Not for us.

Worksheets in early childhood are often an easy way out for us, but they rarely serve children.

Setting no boundaries for children, can be easy for us, but highly detrimental for healthy emotional development in children.

Nurturing curiosity in ourselves and in our children can be difficult. It takes time and commitment, but the benefits are huge!

Learn how to encourage children's curiosity

Inspiring children through our own example

Times have changed, but children's developmental needs have not. The best and healthiest learning experience we can give children is to let them play.

Young children learn best though play and observation of the world and adults around them. If we are curious and interested in learning, they will be too. If we provide rich, playful learning experiences aligned to their interests (stories, nature and their everyday experiences) learning and curiosity will naturally follow.

Curiosity is the foundation of learning. We can nurture that innate curiosity by providing children with opportunities to be in nature and learn though quality picture books and an inquiry lens.
