To any parents who feel like they aren’t doing enough this Christmas…

If you haven’t ticked off everything you planned over the holidays, it doesn’t matter.

If the days are blurring into one and the house is still a mess, it doesn’t matter.

What your children will remember isn’t the places you didn’t go, or if your house is tidy.

They’ll remember feeling safe.
They’ll remember being loved.

You are not behind.
You haven’t failed.
You haven’t wasted time

As the holidays approach, calm can feel hard to hold onto…

This time of year is full of excitement, changes to routine, late nights, sugar, and big expectations. While it can be magical, it can also feel overwhelming for children (and parents, too).

Here are a few gentle ways to help protect calmness as the holidays get closer:

🟢 Create consistency where you can
Even one or two familiar daily touchpoints (bedtime, mealtimes, a story before bed) can help children feel safe and regulated.

🟢 Lower the emotional volume
When excitement rises, slow things down. Use softer voices, provide fewer instructions, and make calmer transitions.

🟢 Name what’s happening
“Your body feels excited and wriggly — that can feel a bit much.” Helping children label feelings helps their nervous system settle.

🟢 Build in quiet moments
Short periods of rest, play, drawing, or listening to music can help reset an overloaded day.

🟢 Release the pressure
Not every moment needs to be magical. Children don’t need perfection; they need connection.

🟢 If things feel wobbly, you’re not doing anything wrong. This season asks a lot of families. Be kind to yourself, go gently, and remember: calm starts with us.

Our Facebook group, The Village, is full of helpful information. Please join if you’re not already a member.

Working with young people today means understanding a world that moves fast, socially, academically, emotionally. As a mental health coach, my role is to support children and teens in developing the tools they need to navigate that world with confidence, resilience, and self-awareness. 💛

Here’s what coaching looks like:

✨ Building emotional skills – helping young people recognise, understand, and manage big feelings.
✨ Strengthening confidence & self-esteem – so they feel empowered in who they are.
✨ Teaching coping strategies – for stress, anxiety, anger, or overwhelm.
✨ Improving communication skills – guiding them in expressing themselves in healthy, constructive ways.
✨ Setting goals & creating structure – supporting organisation, motivation, and healthy habits.
✨ Creating a safe, judgment-free space – where they can talk openly about their experiences.

It’s all about giving children and teens practical tools they can use right now to thrive at school, at home, and in their friendships.

If you’re curious about how mental health coaching could support your child, feel free to reach out — I’m always here to help 🩷

So many young people struggle with low confidence, and as a parent, it can be heartbreaking to watch. The emotional, behavioural, and physical signs are often subtle, but they’re real, and they matter.

How can working with me support your teen?

It offers your young person:

A safe, judgment-free space to talk openly

Tools to challenge and manage negative self-talk

Small, achievable goals that build real self-belief

Practical skills such as communication, decision-making, and assertiveness

Support to move past fear of failure and perfectionism

Someone genuinely in their corner, encouraging them every step of the way

When teens start recognising their strengths, celebrating small wins, and developing healthier thinking habits, something powerful happens: they begin to feel capable again.

Confidence isn’t fixed.
It’s not something they simply have or don’t have.
It’s something they can learn, practise, and grow with the right support.

If you’d like to talk about how coaching can help your teen feel stronger, happier, and more confident, send me a message.
