The Early Years Development Show
Empowering Children Through Creativity & Connection
In this episode of The Early Years Development Show, we’re joined by Felicity Hawkins—founder of Fledgling Education, former assistant headteacher, and creative education consultant—who brings a powerful perspective on empowering children through creativity, emotional understanding, and inclusive learning.
Felicity shares her journey from leadership in schools to launching her own venture focused on child-led, art-based education. We explore how creative learning supports confidence, the importance of emotional regulation, and why modelling feelings as adults matters more than ever in parenting and education.
She also gives us a sneak peek at her innovative new emotional wellbeing app for children and offers practical advice for parents and educators on how to build empathy, resilience, and a sense of self in little ones.
From real-life examples to heartwarming moments, this conversation is packed with wisdom for anyone passionate about child development and mental health.
