If you have an anxious child, it's really helpful to include 5-10 minutes each day where you think about breathing and having 'calm time'.

During bath time or before bed is ideal. There's a great YouTube video called 'Your Secret Treehouse' which you could listen to together.

It's all too easy for you as Mum to become anxious about your anxious child. Your child senses your anxiety and it becomes like a game of tennis between the two of you with each other unconsciously feeding the anxiety of the other.

This is where CO-REGULATION helps. Co-regulation means borrowing someone else’s calm. You both help each other by matching each other's breath. It helps children to feel safe and grounded. After all as babies the first sound they heard was your heartbeat in the womb.

By placing your hand over your child's heart and them doing the same you soothe each other's nervous system. Or you can place one hand on your child's heart and place the other hand on their back and gently stroke the back as they listen and feel how the breath calms.

When you're in the car or walking to school use conversation to ask your child to notice how their breathing feels. Tell them how your breathing feels.

Chat about how if they feel unsure or anxious about something they may notice their heart beats more quickly. By noticing they can help themselves using the breath. It's about introducing awareness.

Get them to imagine they have a balloon in their favourite colour in their tummy and they have to fill the balloon with breath, and release with the breath more slowly. It will make them feel instantly calmer. Children have vivid imaginations so make it a game. See who can make their tummy bigger!

As humans, we're hard-wired for connection but children are still learning how to regulate big emotions. Co-regulation really helps with this 👐

Children are so receptive and responsive to Reiki. It soothes their nervous systems. Seeing them leave my Reiki room relaxed and smiling is so special! With my experience of anxiety I feel huge empathy for the suffering of others. Reiki has helped me so much and receiving feedback like this makes it all worthwhile.

I've been practising Reiki for 5 years. My technique and confidence have evolved over that time and it feels very different to when I finished my training. Back then I was someone who knew how to do Reiki whereas now I am Reiki. I can't separate it from me.

As with anything new it took me time to find my rhythm and confidence. I feel the flow of energy more deeply and it is more intuitive. When I'm sharing it with a client I feel like we're in a bubble of relaxed calm together. Time seems to stand still.

It feels so natural. I feel very privileged to share it with others. When I place my hands on a client it takes only a few seconds for the energy to begin flowing. I feel heat in my hands and I see the energy flowing from my fingertips. It looks like a haze.

As parents, you naturally want to protect your children from every upset and disappointment. But life is full of ups and downs – and one of the greatest gifts you can give your children is RESILIENCE – the ability to cope, adapt and grow stronger through challenges.

Looking back my I had zero resilience as a child and that hugely impacted my ability to cope with life, problem solve and recover from adversity.

Here are some gentle ways to build your child’s resilience every day:

🫶 Let them feel their feelings. Instead of rushing to make it all better, listen and validate: “I can see that really upset you. It’s okay to feel sad.”
🫶Teach calm coping. A few slow breaths together, a cuddle, or going for a walk – it shows them how to soothe big feelings.
🫶Encourage problem-solving. Ask, “What do you think might help?” rather than always giving the answer. This builds confidence and independence.
🫶Focus on effort, not just success. Praise their courage, kindness and perseverance – not just the “win.”
🫶Model resilience yourself. When they see you coping calmly with life’s bumps, they learn they can too.

Children might not LISTEN to everything you say but they will MODEL your behaviour.

Resilient children aren’t those who never fall – they’re the ones who know they can get back up, with your love and support by their side.
