Uplands Kindergarten
Handwriting requires you to have the ability to move one hand while the other is still. Babies do mirrored movements (bilateral movements) eg waving with both hands, grabbing toys with both hands. Children who do not have good co-ordination often have difficulty with dominance eg. what hand to write with, write back to front. When the mid line is mature children can hop and skip (between 4 and 7 years old) and one part of the body can do one thing different to the other. Why not come and see us at Uplands Kindergarten. We currently have spaces for 2-5 year old children at our sessions.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
