Welcome to 2018. 
​I am greatly looking forward to an exciting year for Euonymus. We are beginning to forge links with local businesses, schools, pre schools and individual parents as well as becoming better known for our quality training packages and nurturing attitude.

Our recent training sessions with Pippins pre-school in Sawston, focussing on reducing language for instructions and using language to support behaviou
r management, have been extremely well received and immediately implemented. It was an absolute pleasure to work with such committed staff and we have forged a strong working relationship which I am confident will continue into the future.

​On a more global note it is interesting to see it becoming increasingly documented and discussed how important it is to get outside and to know more about our natural environment. It is becoming widely known how important this is in order to protect and sustain our natural resources, as well as to look after our own mental health and that of our children. T
he importance of free play for children's development ,and the use of natural spaces to support this, is also becoming greatly discussed. Forest Schools are becoming increasingly popular and interestingly the Government have made supporting mental health a statutory duty for schools as concerns for the wellbeing of our children increase. 

Not long ago Newsnight aired an interesting documentary on the importance of nature for our own wellbeing and for the sustainability of our environment. It is well worth a watch.

​F
urther attention was also directed to the point raised about lack of nature 'Literacy
' when it was realised that names of plants and trees have been dropped from the dictionary due to lack of use. This instigated a petition via change.org to get them reinstated.

Most recently have come the widespread concerns about the use of smart phones and social media and the impact of these on wellbeing.

​So with all that in mind let's make 2018 the year we get outside more. The year we spend time allowing our children to play predominantly in Natural environments, rather than predominantly on smartphones or tablets. The year we all learn a little bit more about the names of the plants, birds, trees and animals that we share our local spaces with. 

​My own very exciting first step to make this a reality is a joint purchase of some local woodland with a number of other families. Our aim is to protect and develop our piece of land and enjoy the use of our natural space alongside our children.  My personal goal for this year is to learn to recognise and name each and every tree within it, and hopefully share my increasing knowledge with my own two bundles of energy! Wish me luck!
