Encore, Please.

This reflective Ready-Or-Not story takes a funny but instantly recognisable look at the child who needs a standing ovation for every zip, flush, and letter sound. Beneath the humour is a bigger question: how do we support children to build intrinsic motivation when external praise has become their fuel?

Use this story as a tool for CPD or staff reflection. It’s perfect for sparking discussion about:

  • Encouraging pride without constant validation

  • Balancing recognition with independence

  • Supporting self-regulation when attention becomes a classroom currency

A relatable, light-hearted story with serious professional value — because every teacher has met the child who turns Reception into Britain’s Got Talent before morning break.
