Last Wednesday we were invited to attend the East Yorkshire Parent Carer Forum open event in Woodmansey, near Beverley.

Well Noodle was a hit and worked his magic and showed how he is able to support individuals in no way is humans can.

He supported a couple of children who were struggling with regulation and in a matter of moments, they were calm, happy , relaxed fussing and talking to Noodle & myself

One of the younger pupils from today built a tower, they had the confidence to carefully balance these 2 water bottles, a plush penguin and a green Alice Headband.

The child has only come into our session today and was one of the younger pupils.

I see adults struggle balancing items, I'm quite clumsy so I'd struggle to do this, yet a child of between 6-8 years old did this with precision and calmness, with no messing and good concentration.

We like to see children being creative and having fun, as long as it is safe 🙂
