Don't squash emotions support them to experience them safely.

Crying isn’t something we should stop our kids from doing—it’s part of their healing process. When children cry, they release emotional stress, and it helps them feel better. Let them express their feelings, and be there to comfort them through it. How do you comfort your child when they cry? 💔💕

Play play play.

It's so important to make time for play and to recognize that it's much more than just fun.

Children learn as they play!

Yesterday was most of the day in the office catching up on paperwork. In the afternoon I had 2 children and they both are doing so well with all the challenges life throws them. It is a pleasure to support families and see a difference. One family is using my star jar from the family communication pack I created and is excited to show me how many stars they can earn. Also they are trialing a visual routine board to help them remember what needs doing. A good days work.

Yep.

Some days it’s big milestones. Other days, it’s a quiet smile or a shared laugh. 💛

Remember, growth isn’t a race; it’s made of little moments that matter most. 🌼

So true.

“A child opens their heart when it feels safe, not when it feels tested.”💚

Really well said support and connect woth your child talking comes later.

You know how hard it is to think clearly when you’re upset? Our kids feel that too. When they’re melting down, they’re not ready to learn or listen, they just need to feel safe again. The best thing we can do in that moment is connect first. A hug, a calm voice, a gentle presence. Once they feel understood, then we can guide and teach. 💛

Yep

Every day, children are testing boundaries, asking, “Do you see me? Do you hear me? Do I matter?” Their behavior reflects how we answer these silent questions. By showing up with love and patience, we can reinforce their sense of self-worth and help them navigate their emotions. 👂❤️

Yep

When a child feels safe to say, “I don’t agree,”
they’re not being rude....they’re being brave.
That moment of honest expression means they trust you.
It means they know their voice matters.
Parenting isn’t about obedience, it’s about understanding.
When we listen without judgment, we raise thinkers.....not followers.
Because confidence begins where fear of being wrong ends.
