Play has a quiet wisdom.

Children often show us what they cannot yet explain. Through repetition, stories, movement, and imagination, they communicate experiences that are difficult to tell.

Our latest blog explores why play therapy for young children works, and why talking is often not enough.

We often ask children to “use their words.”

But for young children, words are not always available yet.

Feelings are first experienced through the body.
Through movement.
Through play.

That’s why play therapy for young children doesn’t start with questions.
It starts with listening differently.

Our latest blog explores:
• what play therapy really is
• why talking is often not enough for young children
• how play gives children a way to express what they can’t yet say

If you’ve ever wondered why your child shows you more than they tell you, this one’s for you.

Happy New Year. We hope the Christmas break offered at least a few moments of rest, or space to breathe, before the year began again.

As we step into 2026, we wanted to say hello. Many of you have already spent time in our Helensvale space towards the end of last year, while for others it may still feel a little new. Either way, it feels good to be starting the year settled here, in a space shaped with care and intention.

As the year unfolds, we are mindful that not every day will be an easy one. Still, there is often something good to be found within each day, even if it is small or quiet. We hope the year ahead brings moments of steadiness, care, and gentle connection for you and your family.

Thank you for the trust you place in this work and for allowing us to walk alongside you and your family. It means a great deal to us.

Warmly,
Laurinda and the Sage Support Team

We are so happy to share that Sage Support has officially moved into our new space in Helensvale.

After three intense weeks of behind-the-scenes work, this space has come together through a mix of sweat, tears, frustration, anger, laughter, gratitude, and all the other parts that are welcome here ☺️. It has been a journey, and one that feels deeply aligned with the heart of Sage Support.

This new space has been created with care, intention, and safety in mind, and it is still growing. There are boxes to unpack, paintings to hang, a dedicated art space to set up, and plenty of wild mint to pull out of the garden beds. It is a space where children, parents, and families can feel held, seen, and supported just as they are, a place where we can grow and heal together.

Our doors are now open, and I look forward to welcoming you into this next chapter.

“Every moment of trust — a deep breath, a gentle try — is progress worth celebrating.” Soften the sensory experience. Bathrooms can feel overwhelming with bright lights, echoes, and cold seats. Use soft lighting, warm surfaces, or gentle music. When the senses feel calm and predictable, the body can focus on what it needs to do.

“What looks like refusal is often a sensitive nervous system saying, ‘I’m not ready yet.’ - Try calming background sounds, gentle lighting, or soothing scents. Some children prefer quiet, while others like soft music or white noise. Observe what helps your child regulate best.

“When a child resists the toilet, they are not being difficult. They are asking for safety, not pressure.” - Keep things calm and predictable. Children feel more confident when they know what will happen next. Create a simple routine or use a visual chart to show each step. Predictability lowers anxiety and helps the body trust the process.

“Children learn to let go when they feel held — not just by our hands, but by our calm.” Your calm presence matters most. Children borrow your steadiness when they feel unsure. Stay patient and connected so their body can relax. Remember to care for yourself too, because your calm energy helps your child feel safe.

“A child cannot relax until they feel safe. Calm comes first, then confidence follows.” - Help your child feel safe in the bathroom first. Sensitive children need to feel secure before their body can relax. Try singing, breathing together, or bringing a comforting toy to help their nervous system settle and feel at ease.
