Learning made fun

Ask Karen: Can we help with your development dilemmas?

WITH a degree in psychology, focusing on children and as a former play specialist at Great Ormond Street Hospital, I have a wealth of experience in advising parents on helping their children learn through having fun.

My psychology background has given me an insight into the cognitive development of children which means I have been trained in recognising how a child reacts to and interacts with the world around it.

It's an area I've always wanted to explore and encourage in children.

I wanted to help each child attending Musical Minis achieve its full potential. Musical Minis is a structured programme encouraging cognitive, physical and emotional development through the use of music, instruments and stories.

Now, how can I help you?

Please get in touch with any dilemmas you feel I may be able to help with.

Here's a recent question posed:

We have vacancies...

WORKING with Musical Minis is a fun and stimulating way to balance a successful business around bringing up your family.

We're very approachable and family friendly working is at the heart of what we do, every day.

Opportunities exist through the UK although we are particularly keen to hear from people in the South West, South East of England and Northern Ireland.  

Franchise information is here.

IF your children are still very young, you may be wondering if the day will ever come when you will return to work and not feel totally frazzled. In the first of an occasional series, mum of 10-year-old twins, Cathie Flynn, explains how she found a career path that fitted in perfectly with family life - and brings lots of laughter too...

"Best of all," says Cathie, "it's great fun."
