Children need high quality input to truly show what they are capable of.

No child is born naturally smart. There is no such thing. People will tell me that I’m wrong and that of course children are born smart.

Well, I disagree completely. And it that’s what they believe- cool.

 I believe that high quality input is needed in order for children to truly show what they are capable of.

 Without the quality input, how will children ever be able to truly show what they are capable of?

 So many of you just expect your children to be able to do this and to be able to do that without really putting in the work to support them to be able to do this and to be able to do that.

 Let me give you some examples.

 You expect your child to be able to read but do you put in the work for 1-2 hours a week to support them with this? (notice I am asking if you do the work, not our child’s nursery/pre-school).

Do you show your child the phonics sounds frequently to support them with learning them?

Do you show your child cvc words and practise reading the cvc words with them?

 You expect your child to be able to identify numbers 1-10 but do you show them the numbers every single day? Do you ask your child to identify different numbers frequently?

 You expect your child to be able to answer higher level questions but do you practise these questions frequently with your child? Do you model high quality answers to your child? Do you take the time to explain to them the types of answers that you are looking for?

 High quality input means providing high quality learning to support your child with being able to truly demonstrate what they are truly capable of.

 You need to put in the work first. Not the nursery/school you send them to. You and only you. Think of the input of the school and very tiny percentage compared to what your child will get from working 1:1 with you. That will help you to reframe how you think about ‘quality input’.
