About this Event
Are you noticing that some of your children are doing things a bit differently? Are they in motion all the time, wriggling about in circle time, playing differently than other children? Are you seeing traits that you think may be attributed to ADHD or Autism? All children’s behaviour depends on how safe they feel in themselves, their environment and in their relationship with a caring adult. Let’s talk about what you might be seeing and why it might be happening.
