Learning Through Play

In today’s episode, Siobhan has a chat with Tiffany from @simplifyingchildhood. They talk about all things play-based and child-led learning and discuss the problems associated with the current push for formalised education in the early years, including the focus on attainment and success over relationship.  They also have an interesting discussion about the place of ‘self-care’ in motherhood.  You can find Tiffany at https://simplifyingchildhood.com.au/ or on Instagram at @simplifyingchildhood.
