We're just stepping in to guide them and to support them where they're at.

Thank you so much.

I love being back again in the studio virtually, this time

I think that sounds great.

And I think that it applies um to any age child.

And, you know, it basically a differently wired child is almost like a toddler because we have to be their prefrontal cortex for them because that's still developing really, you know.

So I think a lot of the things that we talk about with toddlers you would see even for an eight year old differently wired child would it completely you know apply as well.

in Asha's case.

Yeah, I always say like it's an alternative education system and the child walks in and there's beautifully arranged materials with a really rich curriculum.

So all the maths materials are laid out, building each

you know, um activity on top of the other.

Um then there's language materials, cultural materials, there's a lot of practical life activities, which are things like caring for your environment.

And it's the children that get to choose themselves what they'd like to work on, rather than the teacher telling them what they need to learn today.

So it might sound like chaos, but there's a mixed age classroom.

So there's older children who can help the younger children, and the younger children are always watching and observing the older children, and so they can learn from them.

And the teacher is going around the classroom and giving lessons for each child, whether up to, um, either individually or in small groups.

So it's a beautiful way, um I think, for education because the children love learning, they're empowered in their own learning as opposed

opposed to being directed all the time, um, like in a traditional education system.

And so and it's just you actually see that children love learning, except that it's kind of usually stomped out of them in the traditional system where they have to sit still and listen all the time.

Yeah.
