💚 Happy New Year 💚

Today's Mindful Monday is about the importance of making time to rest and recharge this January.

💫 As mum's, December can be overwhelming and exhausting!
We plan, organise, prepare, buy gifts, and do our best to make everything magical.

💫Then January arrives with society's expectation to make resolutions and become a 'Better You' at at time when our energy levels are low and days are cold and dark.

💫 I personally have never bought into new year resolutions, I think any day you can choose to make a positive change or a first step towards something you want.

💫 But January (in my view) is a time to slow down and recharge our batteries, to learn from nature that we need to rest, WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY!

💫 Have early nights, say NO to things you haven't the energy for, eat nourishing food, wrap up warm, light candles. Take a moment to sit with a warm drink and be still.

💫 Model to our children the importance of taking care of ourselves and making time to rest.

💚 When your child has big feelings or worries, your calm presence is the comfort they need most.
Take a mindful pause, breathe, and sit beside the feeling - this is where healing and connection begin 🌱

💚 You don't have to do it alone 💚

Parenting can bring so many emotions - joy, love, exhaustion and worry-sometimes all at once.

Kangaroo offers a calm, supportive space to explore your experiences, strengthen your bond with your baby or child, and find practical ways to manage stress and emotions at home.

Whether you are feeling low in mood, anxious, or finding parenthood harder than you expected, this is a place to pause, reflect and reconnect - with yourself and your child.

❤️ Your attention is the most powerful tool for your child's emotional well-being.

🧡 Your child doesn't need you to be perfect. They need you to fully notice them, listen, and be with them- just as you are.

💛 When you slow down and truly see your child, they feel safe enough to express their feelings, to grow, explore, and just be themselves.

💚 Your presence tells your child "I'm here, and you matter" That's what builds connection.

💙 So let go of trying to be perfect and focus on connection.

🦘 At Kangaroo, we offer a range of services to support children's emotional well-being, including two targeted programmes - Kangaroo Calm Kids and Kangaroo Confident Kids.
These programmes have been running in schools for a couple of years as group interventions and are now available for families to book as 1:1 sessions.

💚 Kangaroo Calm Kids 💚

Weekly 1:1 therapeutic sessions for Children who struggle with overwhelming emotions.

Through calming play and creative arts activities, children learn to understand their feelings, develop emotional language and discover practical tools to feel more in control. These sessions nurture calm, confidence and emotional resilience.

🧡 Kangaroo Confident Kids 🧡

Weekly 1:1 therapeutic sessions designed to boost self-esteem and social confidence.

Through playful exploration, creative expression, and strengths-based reflection, children are supported to discover what makes them unique, build resilience, and shine in friendships and social situations.

💫 Both programmes run in weekly term-time blocks and help children and young people to feel seen, heard, and celebrated for being their amazing selves.

💫 Spaces are available to book for next half term on Mondays at The Therapy Rooms at Jenni's House Rossendale BB4 5AZ.
Please get in touch to find out more or to book a space.

🌈 Children often experience emotions they aren't yet able to put into words. Sensory play like squishing playdough or slime, exploring water, or playing with fidgets gives them a safe way to release tension and feel grounded.

🦘This type of play helps slow down the body's stress response, making it easier for children to self- soothe and return to a calmer state.

🌈 Next time your child is overwhelmed, try offering a sensory activity.

🦘 Having a box or basket of sensory toys for when your child is becoming dysregulated or needs some calm time is really helpful.

🌈 Children don't always have the words to explain what they are feeling. Instead their emotions often show up in their behaviour.

🌈 Through play, they can explore, express, and begin to make sense of these big feelings in a safe and supportive way.

🦘At Kangaroo, we offer Play Therapy and 1-1 emotional well-being support for Children.
