Journey Connect

12/01/2026

When your child is having big emotional reactions, it can sometimes seem like they are being defiant, not listening, or pushing boundaries 😮‍💨💥 In reality, these moments are often a sign that your child is feeling overwhelmed and doesn’t yet have the skills to express what they need 🤍

The PACE approach helps us respond with connection before correction 🧠💞
PACE stands for Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy, and supports children to feel safe, understood, and emotionally supported.

Instead of asking “How do I stop this behaviour?” 🤔
PACE encourages us to ask “What is my child trying to tell me?” 💬

These resources help parents and carers respond calmly, reduce power struggles, and support emotional regulation and positive behaviour over time 🌱

If you feel these resources would be beneficial for your family, reach out to our team to learn more about our Early Childhood Intervention services 🧸

A great day out for our NDIS Day Program in Townsville 🌱
Our participants enjoyed a community outing to Townsville Shopping Centre, building confidence, independence, and real-world life skills through supported community access. Days like these are all about connection, choice, and meaningful participation in everyday environments.

Looking for a Townsville NDIS Day Program that focuses on community inclusion and participant-led experiences? We’d love to support you 💙
