This is extremely important as in the past children have found this quite difficult to put into practice because everywhere we go, living on a farm, children get taken. It is a matter of necessity, not choice by parents and I noticed it when Bryoney was having trouble and wondered why Andrew and Catherine hadn't had the same problem.
The answer was Andrew and Catherine lived in a town and it was important to them to give and follow directions to get to the homes of friends and family.
Next time you go to take them out to somewhere familiar in the car and have time... let them be the navigator so they can practice their skills in a real world context. Giving and following instructions around an obstacle course,blindfolded, is a great rainy day activity in the garage or lounge.
In class they are doing well with left and right, clockwise and anticlockwise, north, east, south and west. Good Luck!
