Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) can look different for every child, but it often shows up as ongoing difficulties with coordination, motor skills, and everyday tasks.

These challenges can affect confidence, participation in school, and daily routines at home... even when a child is trying their best.

The Circle of Security Parenting Program is full of gems and tips, that actually make parenting easier! The motto 'Bigger, Stronger, Wiser and Kind' is one.

We all struggle as parents to find the balance between good cop and bad cop, tough love vs letting things go.

Am I being too tough? Should I be tougher?

Bigger, Stronger, Wiser, Kind reminds us that kids need our firm boundaries, alongside emotional validation and acceptance of their emotions.

This is what build's trust, resilience and self esteem.

Flying Start are hosting The Circle of Security Parenting Program in 2026. More information and registrations via our website

About last week… 🙌🏻

The Flying Start Christmas catch-up with our crew 🥰

Great company, plenty of laughs, and a much-needed chance to spend some time together amongst the end of year chaos. Always good to press pause, eat too much and reflect on the year that was.

What a team we have! ✨

Big feelings often come from little people doing hard things.

If your child gets frustrated quickly, it’s not because they’re being difficult - it’s often a sign that something feels too hard, too fast, or too overwhelming.

Frustration is communication. When we respond with calm validation, children learn that big feelings are manageable, and that they’re not alone.

Introducing… FLYING START BOOK CLUB!

We’re excited to launch a monthly Book Club designed to bring families wonderful resources that support connection, learning, and confidence.

Each month we’ll highlight a book recommendation that we either use during therapy sessions, has a great message or story line, useful evidence-based content, or is just fun to read with your child while supporting their development in lots of ways.

Whether you’re a parent, carer, educator, or someone who just loves books — this space is for you! 📚
