Welcome – I’m Sarah Kingham

I'm a teacher, trainer, and early years consultant with over 40 years of experience working with children, families, schools, and early years professionals across the UK and beyond. I’m here to raise awareness of one of the greatest challenges facing young children today: the impact of screen overexposure in the critical early years of life. Too many children are entering school struggling with communication, attention, and emotional regulation—essential foundations for learning and life. Increasingly, these delays are linked to excessive screen time and a lack of real-life interaction in the first 1000 days.

 

Let’s change that!

This is how we are going to change it.

We All Need to Know We Matter

At the heart of our existence are relationships – with ourselves, our children, and everyone around us.

The single most important time in human development is from conception to the age of 7. It is now known that our experiences during this time shape who we become and lay the foundations for our entire lives. These experiences are often the root causes of some of today’s most complex social challenges.

"I wish I could bottle Sarah's knowledge and enthusiasm."

“Sarah, what is different about your boxes is you. You are beyond a professional, more into EYFS guru status and honestly, you are locally known as so. You have SO much to offer both children and families. What you have to offer is based on decades of research, experience and is in line with the early years educational goals and curriculum. Basically, your boxes are teaching your families how to interact with their children, how to ask questions, how to listen, how to let the child lead. It's not a box of things to devour and be finished with. Each piece can lead to probably hours of play and discovery if the adults can successfully steer the children without taking charge.”

“Sarah is so passionate and knowledgeable about the Early Years – I wish I had her next to me when I was teaching to feed me all those amazing ideas.”

“Inspiring training with a wonderful tool to empower children to love to read and learn, the emotional approach has made a deep impact on my general view of teaching in the Early Years.”

“I want to thank you for your INSET-on Tuesday, the Early Years Team and KS1 teachers were truly inspired and have already there is ‘physi/gym’ going on first thing in the morning. We look forward to implementing many strategies you have given us to motivate reluctant writers. We have all gained enormously from your experience and expertise on the subject, thank you.”

“Sarah was very dynamic and enthusiastic and clearly cares about the subject. She communicates ideas really clearly.”
