Description

Kids love teaching! In today's show, Aniesa shares why kids love to teach and how it benefits their development. Discover why letting kids teach others will help with their planning, sequencing and directional skills. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Kids teaching improves their planning skills, their sequencing and how well they can describe and explain their actions. 

• Allowing kids the opportunity to teach and instruct can really help them develop their ability to give directions and to explain themselves. This helps them articulate themselves and also helps them also understand what it is that they're trying to do.

• Teaching can help with making the child aware of what it is they are actively doing and how they can put that into words or how they can explain that to someone else. Kids love the idea that they can help someone and they can help someone progress and learn.

BEST MOMENTS 

“It's empowering for adults to ask children to teach us something.”

“Teaching can be used as a game to help kids verbalise their ideas in a clear step-by-step way.”

“Getting kids teaching can really boost their confidence.”

“Kids absolutely love teaching. They love showing us what to do.

ABOUT THE HOST

Aniesa completed her degree in Occupational Therapy at the University of Stellenbosch, in South Africa. She has since been focusing on paediatrics and sensory processing and integration. She has worked across a range of paediatric fields and has extensive experience in autism, specific learning difficulties, as well as anxiety and emotional regulation. 

Aniesa has one teenage son with autism, and one with sensory difficulties. She herself was diagnosed at a late age as having ADHD and has found that understanding her neurodivergence has led to a greater connection with children and their parents.
