The "Learning Muscles" behind play.

Learn how to support your child’s school readiness from the foundations upwards - through the power of play.
Persistence, Resilience, and Confidence - these aren’t just buzzwords; they are the building blocks of lifelong learning. Before your child needs reading, science, and maths, they need to know how to be a learner.
Dispositions are what Early Childhood Teachers consider essential learning. They are the muscles that maintain focus, work through problems, and take creative pathways towards innovation and discovery.
Written by a Licensed ECE Teacher with Educational Psychology training, this guide decodes the science behind curiosity, grit, and resilience. After reading, parents will be able to create intentional learning activities, and understand the magical learning happening right in front of them —even when nothing goes to plan!

Four Skill Pillars: Understanding dispositions through Thinking, Doing, Cooperation, and Identity.
16 Foundational Skills: Mapping the "learning muscles" built through everyday play.
The Deep Dive: Understanding the ages and stages of each of the skill pillars.
Intentional learning at home: Practical activities that build dispositions using things you already own, or can get cheaply.
Curriculum Connection: Aligned with Te Whāriki - (The NZ Aotearoa Early Childhood Curriculum, your home-play supports the national education framework and your child’s teachers.
The Deep Dive: A curated reference list of the minds behind the book—for parents who want to geek out on the full science!
And best of all? It is designed to be read over a single cup of coffee, then work as an easily accessible reference you keep on hand! Never wonder how to engage your children in useful play again.
