s m A R T k i d s Sharing information relating to early childhood development and educational support.

At smARTkids we recognise that there are many underlying causes of learning and behavioural difficulties, and that these can be supported at any age (see programs we offer below below). However, we believe that waiting for a child to fail should not be an option. In order to provide early intervention parents and teachers need to be able to recognise weaknesses, irregularities and inefficient func

tioning in any number of areas that make up the complex system that supports a child's ability to learn. Through our page and various workshops, smARTkids attempts to share information with parents and teachers relevant to supporting those areas that are so often remediated at a later date, and activity ideas to strengthen them. Please note that all content on this page is provided for general information only, and should not be treated as a substitute for medical advice or any other form of therapy your child may require. In addition, we do not endorse any commercial product or service mentioned or advised in any of the articles shared. Always consult your own doctor if you are in any way concerned about your child's condition. For more information on the programs available through smARTkids please visit the websites listed below:

Art vs craft? Subjective vs objective? Process vs product? Child-driven vs teacher directed? Children aren’t working towards something to hang on the fridge. For them it’s more about the experience. The experiment. The sensory input. If you really want to foster creativity, provide the materials and step back.

No one knows a child like their parents, they have been there since their first breath. There is no better advocate for their needs (until they learn to advocate for themselves). 💙

“ If a coach degrades players, makes competition too central to the experience, leaves kids out, tolerates backtalk to the referees, and mismanages parents, then kids will pick up destructive lessons.”

Youth sports has changed over the years - becoming more competitive and expensive - leading many to question whether playing sports builds character in a positive way.
