🔔Parents: have you heard the phrase “connection beats correction” and wondered what that actually looks like in real life?

Because when your child is melting down, shutting down, or testing the boundaries… connection can feel like the last thing available.

So, let’s unpack it together.

❌ MYTH: Connection is about being permissive or “letting everything slide”.
✅ TRUTH: Connection before correction is about meeting your child’s nervous system before trying to address their behaviour.

It might look like:
✅ Getting close instead of raising your voice
✅ Naming feelings before setting limits
✅ Using play, curiosity, and presence rather than consequences alone
✅ Understanding what your child’s behaviour is communicating beneath the surface (because all behaviour is communicating something).

When children feel safe, seen, and understood, their capacity to cooperate, regulate, and repair grows.

Want to understand this more? This is exactly what we support parents to learn inside our self-paced, online workshops, created by experienced play therapists and child specialists, for real families and busy lives.

✨ Practical tools you can use at home
✨ No waitlists
✨ Learn at your own pace
✨ Grounded in play, nervous system support, and connection-first parenting

If you’re ready to move beyond reacting and start responding with more calm, clarity, and confidence, these workshops are the ideal starting point.

🎄Holiday activities to deepen your connection with your child… and bring more calm into your home ✨

Between routines shifting, emotions running high, and everyone feeling a little done for the year… simple and intentional calming moments can make the biggest difference.

🔑Here are a few gentle holiday activities that support connection, co-regulation, and emotional safety:

🎨Create a shared art space: Set up a small table with crayons, paper, and playdough. Sit alongside your child and follow their lead, no agenda, no instructions.

🌲Go on a sensory nature walk: Notice sounds, textures, colours. Let your child show you what catches their eye. This naturally slows the nervous system, creates moments of awe and wonder, and is a shared experience to connect over.

📚Storytelling ritual: This can include picture books, made-up stories, or “remember when” moments. Storytime builds connection and emotional language.

🧩10-Minute playtime: A short, intentional burst of child-led play can shift the whole tone of the day.

If you’d love more simple, practical ways to support your child’s nervous system, ease big emotions, and experience more calm connection over the holidays, our online workshops are here for you.

October is Selective mutism awareness month. To raise awareness and support practitioners and parents Danielle from SM wa has developed this fabulous rescource

Supporting Children with Selective Mutism

*A practical webinar for parents and caregivers*

✨ About this Workshop

Some children speak freely and comfortably in certain spaces, yet find it much harder to use

their voice in other settings or with unfamiliar people. This experience is often described as

Selective Mutism (SM) or Situational Mutism.

For parents, this can feel confusing and worrying—wanting to support your child while not

increasing their stress.

This 1-hour introductory webinar will help you understand what’s happening beneath the

silence, and offer everyday strategies to support your child’s confidence, safety, and

connection.

Led by Danielle Cottam, Speech Pathologist and founder of Selective Mutism Western Australia, this session provides reassurance, clarity, and practical next steps.

Hi, I’m Verity! 👋 I’m a Child-Centred Play Therapist and Social Worker offering in-home play therapy across Wadjak and Bindjareb Noongar Boodja (Perth & Mandurah/Southern regions).
✨ Why home-based play therapy?
Children express themselves best through play, and familiar environments help them feel safe and at ease. That’s why I bring a carefully curated mobile playroom right to your home, so your child can process emotions, build confidence, and strengthen their resilience in a space that feels just right for them.

🌱 How I support your family:

✔ Gentle, child-led therapy that meets your child where they are
✔ A warm, compassionate approach informed by over 30 years of experience
✔ Support for all abilities, with a deep understanding of developmental needs
✔ Creative, tailored therapeutic materials to nurture healing and growth
Play therapy is more than just play - it’s a proven way to help children navigate big feelings, develop emotional awareness, and build stronger relationships.
If you’re looking for a personalised approach to support your child’s wellbeing, I’d love to connect. 💛
