Steps to starting school is a poster ideal for sharing with parents whose children are due to start in the Reception class at school.
The tips contained in the poster allow them to build a child’s confidence so that they start school confident, curious and ready to learn.
Celebrating me: An Early Years Guide aims to help early years professionals support children in their care to develop a positive body image – and provide practical ideas to help children feel body confident right from the start.
The download covers practical activities and top tips that you can use in your setting, linked to your Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) practice in England, or to Foundation Phase practice in Wales.
This guide is supported by the Be Real Campaign, a national movement of individuals, schools, businesses and charities working hard to change attitudes to body image and behaviour.
