Talking school transition and the Happy Human Project
On this week’s Parents’ Show, we take a look at School Transition – the step up from primary to secondary and what can be done to help your child through this critical stage.

Lydia meets with Kathy Roe from HFL Education to discuss all things transition.

In part 2, Lydia is joined by Charlotte Clark, founder of the Happy Human Project . Charlotte created the Happy Human Project to be everything that she needed as a child. Growing up as a young carer to her brother meant that she learned to put other’s needs before her own, and this made growing up very difficult.

She believes that children deserve to be taught these valuable life skills to know how to take care of themselves, to believe in themselves and to know when to ask for help.

The ‘Play is Learning campaign and a mother/daughter offer on bra fitting

On this week’s Parents’ Show on Mix 92.6, Alisa sits down with former deputy headteacher Ruth Lue-Quee – also known as My Mummy Teacher - Ruth Lue-Quee– for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation about children, learning and the future of education.

Together they explore how Ruth’s journey from school leadership to motherhood reshaped her understanding of how young children really learn, and why many families feel the current system doesn’t always reflect children’s developmental needs in the early years and Key Stage 1.

The discussion gently challenges the common misconception that play is separate from learning, revealing how play builds concentration, language, resilience and confidence. They also talk about the changing landscape of education and Ruth’s Play Is Learning campaign, which gathered over 100,000 signatures and was debated in Parliament – a powerful sign that parents and educators are ready for change. Tune in for an honest, reassuring and eye-opening conversation that will leave you seeing your child, and their play, in a whole new way.

In part two, we hear about a very special mother & daughter bra fitting and education offer from No Bounce Sport for August. Our presenter Chantelle Nassiri caught up with Jen Misseldine to find out more about the bras and this special offer.

Helping children with vocabulary and no-fault divorce

As our Parent Presenters take a well-earned summer break with their own families, we rewind to March to hear again an episode when Alisa was joined by Dulce Alvarez, founder of Lexilume

They talk about children’s communication, confidence and connection – and what’s really going on for families today.

You’ll hear:

– Dulce’s journey and what led her to create Lexilume

– The challenges many children are facing right now

– What actually helps (and what doesn’t)

– Simple, practical ideas you can try at home

It’s a calm, honest conversation with real takeaways

Dulce hosted a Vocabulary Masterclass in March, so the date in this recording has of course passed.

In part 2, Lydia is joined by Jessica Smith from our show sponsoRayden Solicitors , who explains the ‘No fault divorce’ laws that were introduced a few years ago and busts some of the myths about entitlement when a couple is not married.
