  Early Childhood: Where the Magic Happens with Margaret Larden

  Jul 12, 202625 min

  The early years of a child's life lay the foundation for lifelong learning, development, relationships, and wellbeing. In this episode of Childhood Matters, we speak with author Margaret Larden about her book, Early Childhood: Where the Magic Happens, and the valuable insights it offers families and educators. Margaret describes the book as a practical guide, much like a car manual that can be revisited whenever support, reassurance, or guidance is needed throughout a child's early years. Together, we explore why early childhood is such a critical period of development and how understanding children's needs can help us nurture their potential and create strong foundations for the future.
