March-June 2011

We are

15 Years

old!!

I can’t really believe it. My son was 5 when we started and he is now about to qualify as a Primary School teacher. I have loved providing this information for all these years and have many plans for the next 15 years. Please keep sending me ideas for the developments that you would like to see. This year, I am planning to do something in each of the magazines to celebrate the 15th Birthday. In this edition, I have 15 discount vouchers which I hope you enjoy. Many of them have been provided by advertisers who have supported the Family Grapevine for years and years and I thank them very much. I have joined together with Genevieve (Mid Surrey and G u i l d f o r d / Fa r n h a m ) a n d Debbie ( Woking, Bagshot and Spelthorne) to produce a new Surrey Social Website

Classes start at £50 per person and we will tailor the class to your individual needs whether on your own, for a group, as a birthday present, it even makes a unique dinner party activity!

Smooth Talking! In January this year the film “The King’s Speech” was out in cinemas. The film focused on King George VI’s stammer. Stammering (known as ‘Stuttering’ in America) is a common problem for both adults and children, however there are many ways to improve fluency for smooth talking! What actually is stammering? Stammering is a speech difficulty which is characterised by either: repetitions of parts of words or whole words, prolongations (stretching out sounds), or blocking (where the person cannot get the words out), or a mixture. It is quite common for children to go through periods of stammering (or nonfluency) when they are starting to learn new words rapidly around the age of 3 Why do some children stammer? We know that stammering is not caused by one single thing, it occurs for a variety of reasons. While there’s no ‘cure’ for a stammer, therapy can make a big difference. Factors which make it start include a family history of stammering, or physiological difficulties and speech and language difficulties (delayed or advanced skills). Stammering can persist due to emotional and environmental factors. It’s four times more common in boys than in girls. Is it a natural stage all children go through? Fluent speech develops throughout childhood, particularly when children are learning new words. Approximately 4 out of 5 will recover from stammering periods in their early years; however speech therapists look

8

at ‘risk factors’ which might make it persist for example a family history of stammering. It is best to refer early to a speech and language therapist, even if you feel your child may grow out of it, to ensure they get early intervention, if required. It is best to get advice rather than ‘waiting’ to see if it gets better or worse. How can a speech therapist help? There are a range of therapy techniques which can be used by speech therapists. The therapist may work indirectly with the parent / caregiver to adapt or develop their interaction styles or direct work with the child to help them manage their fluency. Strategies include building awareness of ‘bumpy’ and ‘smooth’ talking. What can parents do to help their child? Try not to ignore it. It’s better to be open with your child. We all stammer occasionally, and it’s important for children to be aware of this; we do not want the stammer to become a big issue for the child later on! Slow your own rate of talking down, this will help the child to slow themselves down, without you directly telling them. Try to listen to what your child says, rather than how they say it, remembering to maintain eye contact and wait for them to finish. Why did you want to become a speech therapist? I always wanted to be a health professional and love languages so it seemed the perfect choice to become a speech therapist.

Save the date – be a hero in Children’s Hospice Week Children’s Hospice Week, the UK’s only awareness and fundraising week for children’s hospices, takes place 14-21 May this year. Children’s hospice services up and down the country will be celebrating the week hero style. Children’s hospices are incredible places that help children who are not expected to reach adulthood and their families. Just like superheroes, children’s hospices are there for people when they need them most. Children’s Hospices UK is calling on you to be a hero in Children’s Hospice Week and help raise funds for these vital services. You can get involved by taking part in Superhero Friday (20 May) a special day of hero inspired fundraising activities. Why not dress up as a superhero and make a donation to Children’s Hospices UK? Get your friends, family and work colleagues involved and see who can come up with the best outfit! Visit www.childrenshospiceweek.org.uk for information on Superhero Friday and other hero inspired fundraising ideas.

Surrey schools get into the Olympic spirit School children from across the county are gearing up to get a taste of Olympic victory with the P&G Surrey School Games. Organised by Surrey County Council and partners, the School Games will be starting on 15 March and running for 100 days and involve up to 4,000 children competing in over 30 events, providing an opportunity for young people from across the county to get active and compete in a range of Olympic and non-Olympic sports. From badminton to BMX, cricket, athletics and even motor sports, the School Games will be hosted annually for four years and aims to create a lasting legacy from the London 2012 Games and encourage inclusion in sport.

Private Tuition Arranging private tuition for a child can be useful for many reasons and at various stages of their school career. On entering school, some children are not quite ready for formal education and consequently miss important early steps on which so much else is based. Children who have missed the occasional day due to illness, or have learning difficulties, may struggle to keep up. A private tutor can assess the child, find out where their problems lie and address them. For 11+ and Common Entrance level, a tutor ensures that the syllabus has been covered and the format of the exams is familiar.

At GCSE and ‘A’ level stage, private tuition helps boost confidence and fill in gaps in knowledge and understanding. Tutors who are qualified and experienced teachers are able to tailor the private tuition to the pupil’s needs, enabling them to pass the exam or achieve a higher grade than expected. When a university place is dependent on specific grades, as at every other stage of the pupil’s school career, one-to-one private tuition for an hour a week can make all the difference between success and failure.

Are you ecologically conscious?

If you are ecologically conscious, lowering your detrimental impact upon the planet isn’t necessarily all about what you have to give up. ‘Going green’ is equally about gaining a positive way of thinking and can be hugely rewarding as well as an educational experience, especially where children are concerned. Children are generally fascinated by nature and can only benefit from learning about and understanding the natural world around them. What better place to begin than at home. Even a small garden space can provide a wide range of different habitats that

44

will encourage all kinds of wildlife. Your garden can be designed to augment the natural environment. Vegetable gardens are another way of engaging children. The process of seeing vegetables grown in your own garden is not only satisfying but a necessary lesson. Why not integrate a vegetable garden with a wildlife garden to provide natural means of pest control, doing away with the need for chemical pesticides.
