Study finds ‘Mentalising’ is key to child development

arents want to know that they are doing all they can to support their children’s development, yet it can be hard to know how to make this happen. In collaboration with Telethon Speech & Hearing (TSH), a team of researchers from Curtin University’s School of Psychology and Speech Pathology under the supervision of Dr Matthew Ruggiero have been working to identify factors that support healthy emotional and social development in young children with hearing impairments. The team has been measuring the effect that parent and/or child anxiety has on the emotional fit between mother and child – that is, whether anxiety impacts their ability to interact together in a way that supports the child’s emotional development. In addition, the team has tried to work out whether certain parental skills and abilities can be used to support a child’s emotional development. To date, 20 mothers along with their children from Telethon Speech & Hearing and other service providers have participated in the study. Although the research has not been completed yet, there are already trends

emerging from the data. It appears that a child’s anxiety in particular might somewhat reduce the likelihood that mother and child can work together to support the child’s emotional development. There is a key parental skill that then becomes important - called Mentalising. Mentalising refers to our ability to accurately imagine and respond to the things inside a child’s mind that motivate their behaviour; such as their hopes, fears and intentions.

Classrooms and current events

arents often wonder why teachers at the International Centre for Excellence (ICE) use themes such as the Olympics as part of their teaching program. Their answer is – relevance and engagement. With Victoria Carlton Programs, students pay attention to learning that is interesting, and children are completely fascinated by the Olympic games. The games inspire and teach children how to handle disappointments, persist through hardships and practice important skills.

TSH would like to thank all the families who have participated in this research to date.

So far, their primary and secondary students have written from the point of view of an athlete ready to run, calculated distances, worked on tessellating flags in isosceles triangle shapes, discussed individual performances, written persuasive pieces about drug-cheats, learned about Brazil and written reports about animals found in the Amazon basin. They have also eaten Brazilian cheese bread, learned about the history of the Olympics and much, much more!

For more information about Telethon Speech & Hearing (TSH) visit www.tsh.org.au

Academic literacy and numeracy outcomes have markedly increased using

The study is not yet complete, and so the team would recommend caution in drawing conclusions from the results at this stage. Nevertheless, it is exciting to see that there may be parenting skills that make a difference to the ability that kids have to manage the emotions they experience in their relationships.

• Dramatic Play • Creative Movement • Story Telling • Songs • Language Skills • Confi dence

this theme and interest continues to rise. The kids are engaged – and there is no learning without engagement. I know some would rather see kids sitting quietly doing worksheet after worksheet at desks – but is that really learning? Teachers at ICE believe in providing hands-on learning so that children better understand academic concepts. Worksheets are used for reinforcement and consolidation – they are an important part of learning, but not the only way to learn. Real learning involves movement, lots of questions and is sometimes messy. Many hours a week of looking at needs of students and planning are involved. Teachers who teach with Victoria Carlton Programs know one size doesn’t fit all. They know their students have different strengths and ways of learning. There is a way for all students to succeed. “We seek to stimulate children’s brains – not bore them,” Victoria Carlton said. Parents who are interested in Victoria Carlton’s programs can call ICE on 9271 4200 or email iceinfo@iinet.net.au

ome children worry excessively about relatively normal, everyday activities. All this worry can lead to sleep difficulties or avoidance of activities parents may feel are positive experiences – like birthday parties and school camps. Although anxiety is a common emotion, it can become a problem when it prevents children from learning and enjoying normal life experiences over an extended period of time.

Martial arts helps kids fit in

To maximise your child’s learning experience, group sizes are kept small so spots are extremely limited.

Suite 8, Cottesloe Chambers, 136 Railway St. Cottesloe

The great news is that children of any age can develop positive coping skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety. Research also tells us that children who are emotionally and socially skilled are more competent in dealing with stress and show significantly less behavioural problems at school.

as your child still not found their sport? Martial arts may be the answer.

/resiliencekit

ATI’s specialist Little Dragon instructors take their job very seriously and want kids to learn about martial arts in a fun and positive way. Martial arts education involves learning self-defence and important life skills – and learning respect for elders and other kids is an essential part of this. Training helps kids become focussed and disciplined, boosts their confidence, teaches them about stranger danger and helps them fit in socially. With ATI’s unique teaching methods, every child has the ability to succeed. Taekwondo or Korean KARATE and Little Dragons programs are suited for children 3-15 years of age.

ollowing its successful opening around Australia last year, Peppa Pig Live! Big Splash is back by popular demand to tour the country one more time in 2016!

There’s plenty of fun to be had as Peppa, George, Mummy and Daddy Pig, as well as Danny Dog, Pedro Pony and Suzy Sheep put up bunting, run stalls and organise a great day out. There’s also a Champion Puddle Jumping competition judged by Mr Potato, where everyone gets wet and Peppa needs to find her Golden Boots. Another all-singing, all-dancing adventure full of songs, games and muddy puddles is guaranteed for all the family.

Footy for toddlers

ooty Fundamentals encourages toddlers to develop fundamental movement skills in an AFL environment, using AFL equipment. Each week, toddlers focus on one or a set of movement skills and play fun teamwork based games. Active parent involvement is required because research shows that active parents help to support healthy and active lifestyle habits in children. Footy Fundamentals works with three different age groups: Tiger Cubs (2-3 yrs) exposes toddlers to the shape of an AFL football and uses AFL equipment to encourage active movement and develop fundamental movement skills. Falcons Fledglings (3-4 yrs) learn how to kick a footy. A slightly more advanced course is used along with balls and equipment to further develop movement, listening and basic teamwork. Lion Kings (4-5 yrs) enjoy advanced obstacle courses and participate in more

teamwork games that encourage sportsmanship, working together and communication. For more information about Footy Fundamentals visit www.footyfundamentals.com.au or call 9300 3611.

Science of Montessori Education

WA SchoolS FeAture

elp me to do it by myselfâ&#x20AC;? is the underlying philosophy behind Dr Maria Montessoriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education system. The science of Montessori revolves around these ideas: â&#x20AC;˘ Spark a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural curiosity. When a child discovers something, this newfound awareness sparks new dimensions of interest in learning. The cycle repeats itself. â&#x20AC;˘ The home and classroom should be rich environments of materials and love. We work in partnership with parents in order to help provide opportunities for discovery. This creates a foundation for children to develop into creative and conscientious individuals. â&#x20AC;˘ The mathematical and sensorial teaching materials used in Montessori classrooms not only effectively convey ideas but are also objective by nature. Children choose to discover things on their own without validation while dedicated and specialist staff closely monitor their learning. Montessori children develop persistence and focus by working and learning

Strength in community at Catholic school

independently. They respect the efforts and space of others by not interrupting their learning. â&#x20AC;˘ Mixed aged classes create a sense of community as children socialise with both older and younger peers, just as adults do. Older children become mentors whilst younger children can learn through observation without age or grade levels being hindrances for growth and development. Finally, mixed aged classes allow children to grasp and understand the purpose behind their learning from the past, present and future. For more information about Montessori, why not book an appointment to observe a classroom, a comprehensive directory of Montessori programs can be found on the advert a the bottom of this page.

Liwara promotes and maintains effective interactions between students, parents and parish - with the motto â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Strength in Communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as a primary focus. Staff aim to engage students through a diverse and engaging curriculum, believing holistic education cannot occur without the support and involvement of parents. Liwara offers a school-operated onsite before school, after school and vacation care program that provides a place where children

Why Co-ed?

can play, relax and pursue their interests in a safe, caring and stimulating play-based learning environment. The students are immersed in engaging learning experiences and taught essential skills to become problem solvers and lifelong learners.

Holistic education in Edgewater

s educators, we must ask ourselves, are we effectively preparing boys and girls to live in a world that promotes gender balance if we do not provide opportunities for them to truly understand each other?

roviding a caring, quality values-based education has been a feature of Mater Dei College since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inception in 1993.

Whilst there is no denying the positive impact of single sex education during the adolescent years, there is also no denying the positive impact of co-education in the early and primary years of learning. It is our experience that co-education in the primary years brings numerous advantages. Our boys benefit from developing the skills to actively listen and participate in group discussions. Our girls benefit as they learn to take risks and not shy away from sharing their opinions in large groups. With these traits established, one would have to think, they have a foundation of equality that has the potential to last a lifetime.

iwara Catholic Primary School offers quality Catholic education for children in the northern suburbs. The school community is characterised by Gospel values and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Mater Dei College is a Catholic coeducational low-fee secondary school, located in Edgewater. College staff view education as a holistic process designed to bring out the best in each child and to encourage them to maximise their own potential.

*Excerpt from an article by Ms Cate Begbie, Head of Junior School, Wesley College. For more information about their co-education program, visit wesley.wa.edu.au/whyco-ed

The College has a strong connection with its parent community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all working together for a better future for their children. Set on large spacious grounds with modern facilities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including an observatory, cafeteria, gymnasium and specialised dance, drama and music facilities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a range of

extra-curricular activities are offered to students. Mater Dei also offers an extensive curriculum, including a gifted and talented program, science extension classes, afterschool tutoring and sporting activities.

Piano lessons the key to brain development

hether a child plays the piano for a short time or a lifetime, the longterm effects are many.

Learning piano is a challenge. However, once a piece is learned and showcased, it boosts self-esteem as much as winning a sports competition.

Perth parents really should remove the mindset of tutoring being a stop gap measure. Instead, tutoring should be considered as being part of a well thought out and long-term plan for their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education. By coming to Study Buddy Tutoring, parents arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just making a long term investment in their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future, but also adding to their support network.

For more information on piano lessons, call Lynn Koehler on 0428 782 021 or email lmkoehler@bigpond.com

Great tutoring goes beyond teaching and academics, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also about providing quality mentoring and creating the confidence necessary so a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s academic talents are nurtured to full potential. More bluntly, a great ATAR score.

Victoria knows that no two children are the same and this is why her programs cater for a wide-range of learning styles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want every child taught by my methods to love education and aim for the stars,â&#x20AC;? Victoria said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bored, switched off children do not learn well, which is why we provide a stimulating, resource-rich learning environment.â&#x20AC;?

The programs offered include literacy, numeracy, EQ and Study Skills for Primary students, as well as stimulating early childhood programs.
