Recently P2a 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 Angus and his mum Miss Younger. Our Roots of Empathy family visited us to tell us all about being a parent, how they are coping and how Angus does not have teeth yet. The children were able to give suggestions on how to soothe Angus when he is teething. Miss Younger showed us all the things needed in her change bag to care for baby Angus and the children were delighted to see how much Angus has grown and changed since we last saw him. He showed us he can sit up supported and enjoyed trying to grasp a toy.

The theme 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.
