[SENco-forum] Omega 3 study results

I like Victoria Wood's suggestion that in the 50s children stood by the
garden gate with a bonnet on until they were five. When they got to school
if they had clean hair and fingernails they got to sit in the front row and
maybe learn something. The kids with nits and holey shoes sat in the back
row.

War babies -
My mum says she thinks the 1950's style of PE/drill went a long way to
hiding/supporting children with dyslexia and other SEN.  The 1,2,3  1,2,3
swinging of arms or clubs in very set patterns would have been an early form
of Brain Gym without the cost!

Perhaps the Chinese with their 'strange' ideas of counting and route
marching toddlers by making them all hold onto 2 long poles with a teacher
at either end is not so daft. Like conductive education it has routine,
rhythm, self-belief 'I can ....' , builds movement memory, encourages
concentration and attention to task and learning all rolled into one.
Everyone succeeds and no one fails.

On the other hand she also swears by Janet and John.  Probably a whole word
learner.

Reminiscing with a fellow 'war baby', we recalled that we were all given
codliver oil and the skinny children got malt every day at school and
our mums got us tins of blackcurrants and bottles of concentrated orange
juice from the clinic - the rest of our diet was meagre compared with
today, but not much sugar,  butter,  cheese or meat or sweets and fizzy
drinks, but plenty of veg and fruit if you had access to a garden - so
was this why there did not seem to ADD or ADHD? - or even learning
differences? ..... And we all learned to read with Beacon Readers
Cheers

The Durham/Oxford study reported here briefly. Interesting reading

No, I don't subscribe to Fish Update!

It doesn't say whether the oil came from synthetic fish or analytical
fish
