Sensory bag activities are fun and can support children who dislike touching certain things, while still encouraging them to explore. Making them at home enables you to explore together and have something that your child can play with at the end. Creating a sensory bag is easy, you will need heavy duty zipper sandwich bags and you can use such things as hair gel or shower gel, glitter, paint, tape, sequins, pom poms, bead or buttons that you have at home.

Thousands of Covid generation under-fives excluded from schools in England

Camden_IEYS — 2023-10-16 12:56:21 UTC

Nearly half of children in some areas arrive unable to talk and still not potty-trained as lockdown legacy take its toll, data shows. Children as young as four are being excluded from schools in England in increasing numbers as they struggle to cope in a classroom setting, with many still in nappies or unable to talk fully.

DLD is a lifelong condition affecting 2 children in every average classroom of 30 in the UK. Lots of children have it, yet most people don’t know about it.
