When trying to entertain Toddlers and preschoolers there’s no doubt they can be a tough crowd.

But during home isolation a lot of these challenges are only magnified as we are unable to take them outdoors to burn off their energy in their usual daily activities to daycare, kinder, preschool, play centres, the park, the playground, the library, play dates, the list could go on…

So, how can we keep our little ones entertained and engaged in and around the home?

Lucky for us we are joined by Bree from B Minor Music who is here to help. Bree is going to share some fresh ideas and strategies that you can try out at home that will help break up the monotony of life home in isolation.

We ask Bree questions including:
Parents all around Australia are just starting to appreciate the work of our early year's educators and all the incredible work they do. You worked in the early year's sector for many years, I’d love to know your thoughts on this new sense of appreciation?
Where primary and secondary school-aged children are currently being homeschooled it’s not much different for parents with preschoolers. If anything, parents with school-aged children may be receiving a little more support as classes are structured and supported by technology. What are your thoughts on this?
For any parent that is concerned about their child’s early education, this teaching technique is something all parents easily facilitate and manage from home. Can you explain a little more about this to put some parents at ease?
How can parents of preschool-aged children help encourage play-based activities at home to help with their children explore, experiment, discover and solve problems in imaginative and playful ways?
It has also been said that preschool students often stay more engaged and alert when you use a variety of materials and switch activities every 15 minutes or less. Do you think that parents should combine different activities throughout the day for the best results? and or is it beneficial to enable children to become bored and use their own imagination to help develop their own creativity?
What are some great experiences to do around the home for pre-primary children during isolation?
How can parents take advantage of technology during this time and what online experiences can you recommend?
What are your thoughts on encouraging physical activities during the day as a great way to mix things up and keep students motivated?
What is the best way for the family to stay physically and mentally healthy during isolation?

I know there’s no magic handbook on parenting that can solve all our problems or a wise guru sat somewhere on top of a mountain who can answer all our millions of questions.

I also understand that parenting, although an absolute honour, is most probably the hardest thing anyone will ever have to do.
