Neurodivergence often looks different in girls and women and can go overlooked.

A child's attachment process begins within the first year of life. Attachments that are not fostered may lend to the child's inability to properly attach or have no attachment at all.

A secure attachment is the ability to bond; to develop a secure and safe base; an unbreakable or perceivable inability to shatter to the bond between primary parental caregiver(s) and child; a quest for familiarity; an unspoken language and knowledge that a caregiver will be a permanent fixture.

This information is embodied in the warp and woof of our brain circuitry and forms the template of how we think of ourselves and the world around us. ― Asa Don Brown

Are you a parent who sails through the holidays and enjoys time with your little ones or are you finding it tricky and looking forward to getting back into a routine?

It’s coming to the end of half term for us. Yesterday we had a lovely day out. It was great to spend time as a family, switch off and just be together ( even if our legs are falling off today). Who knew that Beamish Museum was so big?? I didn’t! We found a mummy and some baby piglets. Mummy pig was looking and sounding very tired. Our little girl asked if this is how all mummy felt when their baby’s were climbing all over them. It made me giggle.

A great post from The Therapist Parent

So should we let kids just do whatever they want? Absolutely not. Children need guidance and direction. They need to be taught what is right and what is wrong, but they don't need to be hurt in the process. Punishment and discipline have too often been used as interchangeable terms but really they are polar opposites. Punishment is causing deliberate harm as a retribution. Or in other words, making something bad happen to someone as a way to make them "pay" for what they did. Discipline is teaching and directing your child to understand and take responsibility for their actions.
