Continuous Provision - Personal and Thinking Skills

As a dedicated practitioner, you want the very best for your children. You want them to grow up healthy, happy, self-reliant and confident in their abilities. That is why it is vital that personal and thinking skills underpin every aspect of the early years foundation stage.

Personal skills enable children to manage stress, to bounce back after difficulties, to understand that mistakes are important for learning, and to communicate and cooperate with others. Thinking skills are about making decisions, solving problems systematically and thinking critically.

Continuous Provision: Personal and Thinking Skills gives practical guidance on how to further children’s personal and thinking skills as you play with them, so that they continue to develop their abilities when you are not present. It includes:

* Focused sections with a clear breakdown of personal and thinking skills, so that you have the knowledge and confidence to promote children’s development.

* Open-ended questions to further each specific skill, as well as practical challenges to enrich children’s learning experiences.

* Activity ideas and photocopiable resources to help you plan for continuous provision.

Ideal for practitioners who work with children aged from 30 months onwards.
