Recently P2 have been sharing their experiences of losing teeth and growing new ones through stories and artwork.

The children have enjoyed a special visit from baby Ammar and his mum Zeinab. Our Roots of Empathy family visited us to tell us all about being a parent, how they are coping and how Ammar hasn’t started teething yet. The children were able to give suggestions on how to soothe Ammar when he starts teething. Zeinab showed us all the things needed in her change bag to care for baby Ammar and the children were delighted to see how much Ammar has changed since we last saw him. He showed us he can sit up independently.

We focused on how caring and planning for baby during their first year is demanding, exciting and a challenging responsibility. In addition the more a parent can turn these routines into to opportunities for playful and loving interactions. The more a baby can achieve a secure attachment, become competent and cope positively with life.
