This page has some great learning for parents around supporting their kids through big emotions. Take a look ...

When emotions run high, it’s so easy to feel unsure of what to do next — especially when you’re trying to stay calm and keep your child safe.

Here are 5 simple, brain-based steps you can come back to in the messy moments:
Pause and breathe (because your nervous system leads the way)
Notice what’s really going on underneath the behaviour
Connect before you correct
Name the feeling so your child feels understood
Guide the calm with gentle co-regulation

You don’t need perfect words. You just need a steady, safe presence — and a few tools you can rely on when it all feels a bit much.

What is “image-based abuse”?
Image-based abuse is when someone shares, threatens to share, or takes intimate images or videos of another person without their consent.
This can include:
📸 Sharing private images without permission
📸 Threatening to send images to others
📸 Pressuring someone to send intimate images
📸 Taking or recording images without someone knowing
It can happen in relationships, after a relationship ends, or even between people who don’t know each other well.
Image-based abuse is a form of serious harm and a violation of privacy and trust.
This can feel overwhelming, scary, or isolating — especially when technology is involved.
Image-based abuse is never okay — and it’s never your fault.
If this has happened to you, you’re not alone. There is support available, and there are people who will take you seriously.
Please reach out if you need to talk to someone.

What does Protective Behaviours mean?
Protective behaviours are skills that help children and young people recognise when something feels unsafe and know how to respond.
They teach that:
🐝 Everyone has the right to feel safe at all times - “I have the right to feel safe”
🐝 It’s okay to say no to something that feels uncomfortable or unsafe - “My body belongs to me”
🐝 Safe adults are people you can trust and talk to - “I can talk to a safe adult”
🐝 You can keep asking for help until someone listens
Protective behaviours focus on empowering children with knowledge and confidence, rather than creating fear. Helping children feel safe starts with giving them the right tools.
Protective Behaviours are an important part of building safety, respect, and resilience.

Bumblebees is a program run by Phoenix House that teaches kids aged 3-5 Protective Behaviours. If you run a childcare centre and want to discuss our team coming to your centre, please reach out.

At Phoenix House, we see every day how powerful it is when people feel safe, seen, and supported. Creating spaces where everyone is welcomed and valued is at the heart of what we do.
