Transitions are one of the hardest parts of toddlerhood.
Not because they’re “naughty.”

Not because you’re doing it wrong.

But because shifting from one thing to another requires:
flexibility, impulse control, emotional regulation
…and toddlers are still building all three.

At 14 months they’re confused.
At 20 months they’re frustrated.
At 2 they want control

You’re not raising a “difficult” child.
You’re raising a developing brain.

Breath work for toddlers isn’t about control.
It’s about co-regulation.
When breathing is playful and modelled with them, it can gently reduce anxiety and support emotional regulation — without pressure.
Save this for the next big feelings moment 🤍

It would only be right as an art psychotherapist that I start with Art.
Art supports regulation and development , especially when using it with no limits, big arm movements, doing large scale imagines if you can.

Large, whole-arm movements activate the proprioceptive system, supporting body awareness, emotional regulation, and attention.

Open-ended art also strengthens imagination, problem-solving, and flexible thinking. There’s no “right outcome,” so children can express feelings safely while building motor and cognitive skills.

Drawing alongside your little one can create co-regulation, if you don't enjoy drawing colouring in alongside your little one can have the same effect.

Just remember art has no rules

This Children’s Mental Health Week, I want to focus on connection, co-regulation and emotional safety as the foundations of wellbeing.

This is because children act on example they mirror our behaviours

Every day I will be posting something which fits this theme of children's mental health week... From the perspective as a parent and a child therapist.

With this in mind as parents we need to be kind to ourselves and focus on little wins ..... We all get things wrong even child therapists!

Small moments, done consistently, make a powerful difference 🌱

Feeding Tube awareness week

Thanks to the mummy that made me aware of this 🥰

My journey with Rhea was short but whether it's for a short time or a long time

A feeding tube is not the story.
It’s just part of it.

Behind every tube is a child learning, playing, growing, and being deeply loved 💛

Let’s normalise feeding support and ditch the stigma.
