54 School's Out
Brynn Cooper International Director, High Performance Learning
This summer, I would encourage parents to focus less on keeping children busy and more on helping them stay curious. Some of the most powerful learning happens through everyday experiences: reading together, visiting new places, solving problems, having meaningful conversations and allowing children time to explore their interests. The goal is not to replicate school at home, but to nurture the habits that underpin lifelong success: self- regulation, resilience, creativity and open-mindedness. A summer rich in experiences and family connection can have a lasting impact on a child’s development. “The goal is not to replicate school at home, but to nurture the habits that underpin lifelong success.”
George Peterkin Founder, Mind Your Health
This summer, let’s focus on mindfulness. For the team at Mind Your Health, we have been focusing on technology. At least once a week we use no screens for entertainment and we are loving our board games! Why not experiment with putting your phones on the ‘black and white’ feature for the last few hours before bed? “At least once a week, try putting the screens down entirely. You might be surprised what happens next.”
