Children’s Mental Health Week is a reminder that children don’t always tell us what they’re feeling, often they show us.
Big emotions can come out as meltdowns, shutdowns, worries, or behaviour changes. And that’s okay. Children are still learning how to understand their feelings and not every child can talk it out yet.
That’s why creative approaches can be so helpful.
🎨 Art therapy helps kids express feelings when words are hard
🧸 Play therapy supports emotional regulation through play, which is often their natural language
🌱 Creative counselling builds self confidence, understanding, and coping skills
These therapies can help children:
✨ Feel safe and understood
✨ Express emotions in healthy ways
✨ Build resilience and self awareness
✨ Feel a sense of belonging
At TLC, these are the ways we work with children every day. We meet your child where they’re at — no pressure, no forcing conversations — just connection, creativity, and support.
💬 If you’re a parent wondering whether your child might benefit from a more gentle, creative approach, we’re here to help.

💛 You’re not alone, and your child doesn’t have to navigate big feelings alone either.
