Just a reminder for those with children of whatever age, that as we come towards Spring – their bodies are gathering pace to the next developmental growth spurts – either physical, mental or emotional – or in combination!

During the Half term holidays, Easter holidays and Summer holidays – when they are less focussed on “work” at school, their bodies often take the opportunity to channel some of that energy into other growth!

It can lead to “growing pains” at the ends of the long bones, more fidgeting as they try to adjust to changes as they grow, altered concentration levels or emotional outbursts.
