Such a valuable reminder at the start of the school year. Our morning meet and greet drop off routine takes quite a while each day. As a small foundation phase school we take a great of time and care to ensure that each parent and child feels ‘seen’ as they arrive. Our school feels homely and the children are settled. Reading your article has helped me to reflect on the value of our morning routine and how it contributes to the positive and caring emotional tone of the school, not to mention the general excitement about learning. Thank you for your wise words.

Thanks Sally. I’m so pleased it’s helpful. As an adult who shows up for them every week, you are one of the important people in their lives who can make a difference, whether it’s by supporting the girls directly, or by supporting their adults – it matters.

Thanks Karen This is so helpful.
I am neither a teacher nor a parent but I am a Brownie Guide Leader and District Commissioner so meet with girls and leaders every week. This is good advice for all of those people that I meet.

A fantastic piece, Karen. Congratulations! When we work on setting up brain-based understanding (and then strategy) for improving educational leading, teaching and learning, things can only get better!
