Back to Basics: The Four Pillars of Child Development
Loading player...
When a child is struggling at school, it is easy to assume they need immediate, high-level intervention, whether that’s speech therapy, remedial support, or seeing an educational psychologist.
But as Lauren Edmunds explains, those specialised therapies can't do their job if a child's basic foundation isn't there.
In this episode, Lauren talks about the four non-negotiables we have to get right first: sleep, nutrition, unstructured movement, and genuine, screen-free family connection.
If a child arrives at school dysregulated, overtired, or running on a sugar spike, they simply aren't in a state to learn.
Lauren shares a brilliant, stress-free strategy for fixing this: picking just one tiny habit to change each week, letting those small shifts stack up over time until you've quietly transformed your family's routine.
