What an inspiring Tourette’s champion. I often am told that the tics are not the biggest issue, it’s the stigma, the comments from others (including adults) and need to hide the tics that causes the distress. If you need someone please be kind 😊

Sometimes we forget that slowing down doesn’t mean falling behind. Like the tortoise, we can find calm by feeling at home within ourselves. 🐢💭

As parents, it’s completely natural to want to comfort your child when they’re anxious, but did you know that giving too much reassurance can actually make anxiety worse over time?

Children who depend on reassurance often struggle to build confidence in managing their own worries. The good news is, there are practical ways to break the cycle.

We’ve put together a free help sheet to help you understand why reassurance can backfire and how to support your child more effectively, using CBT-based techniques.

📩 Send us a message with your email address, and we’ll send it over!
