SECOND CHANCE SUNDAY

When a child is shouted at, it doesn’t teach them to listen — it teaches their nervous system to survive.

Many children desperately want to cooperate, but when voices get louder, their brain hears danger, not guidance. That’s when thinking shuts down and big feelings take over.

If you’ve ever raised your voice and then felt guilty after, you’re not a bad parent — you’re a human one. What matters most is what comes next. Repair, calm, and connection are what help a child feel safe enough to learn.

This is your gentle reminder that calm isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being the safe place your child’s nervous system can return to.

If this resonated, save it for the hard days and share it with someone who needs the reminder.

Have a nice half term. Holidays can be a time when tics flare due to a change of routine or not suppression or they can be a period of relief without the stresses of school. We have a fb group if people want to discuss any issues which affect you.
