Abigail’s Beads
I sometimes joke about strategies to work with children and one of these is to lock an errant child in a dark cupboard. I was talking with a Childminder recently and she was able to share a story.
Abigail was making a necklace and bangle with those luminous beads you can get and was naturally enthusiastic about see how they worked. The childminder’s only option was to put her in the cupboard under the stairs in her hall so she could see the effects. This little dark room was still occupied when mum turned up at the front door...
