Anti-Bullying Week reminds us that every child deserves to feel safe, respected, and included — not just at school, but in every environment where they grow and learn.

Dr. Kiran Nijabat, Child Consultant & Adolescent Psychiatrist, highlights that bullying is never “just a phase.” Its impact can shape a child’s emotional health, confidence, and relationships long into adulthood.

👉 1 in 5 children in the UK experience frequent bullying.
Safe, supportive environments — at home, in school, and among peers — make the biggest difference.
Kindness, connection, and open communication are powerful tools for prevention.

This week, let’s make kindness louder. Let’s empower children to speak up, seek help, and stand together.

If you’re concerned about your child’s emotional well-being or want guidance on navigating bullying and peer challenges:

➡️ Book a consultation to receive expert support for your child and family.

Some evenings feel longer than they should.
You sit beside your child — books open, reminders repeated — and yet, focus slips away.

For many neurodivergent children, “homework hour” is not about willpower. It’s about mental fatigue — the effort it takes to regulate emotions, stay seated, and recover from a full day of masking or overstimulation.

What helps isn’t more correction, but more connection:
🕯 Shorter tasks in small bursts
💬 Movement or sensory breaks
🤍 Gentle reassurance over pressure

Progress grows in calm, not in conflict.

📩 Need support creating calm routines? Our therapists can help families build structure that works with a child’s brain, not against it.

Children — especially neurodivergent ones — build confidence through trying, exploring, and persisting, not from perfect results.

When we celebrate how they focus, experiment, and stay curious, we’re teaching them that their worth isn’t tied to success — it’s tied to growth. 🌱

💜 Try this at home or school:
Instead of saying “Good job!” try —

“I can see how hard you worked on that.”

“You really kept going even when it got tricky.”

“You found your own way to do it!”

Each word reinforces effort over outcome, helping children develop self-trust, intrinsic motivation, and resilience that lasts far beyond childhood.

✨ Let’s raise confident learners, not perfectionists.

Kindness isn’t just something we teach — it’s something children feel, absorb, and mirror. 💛

From a gentle tone to a shared snack, every act of empathy shapes how a child understands connection and belonging. As Dr. Kiran Nijabat reminds us, kindness nurtures not only relationships but also emotional balance, resilience, and trust.

Let’s model the kindness we want our children to grow into — because when we lead with compassion, they learn the language of care long before words.

When words are too hard, communication doesn’t stop — it simply changes form.
For many neurodivergent children, spoken language can feel overwhelming. But connection still happens in quieter ways — through gestures, looks, pictures, or simply being beside someone who understands.

💜 Communication isn’t always about talking — it’s about feeling seen and safe.
When adults slow down, notice cues, and respond with patience, they teach that expression — in any form — matters.

There’s a lot of misinformation out there about autism — and one of the most persistent myths is the idea that vaccines cause it.

🧠 Fact:
Extensive global research involving millions of children has shown that vaccines do not cause autism.
The original study claiming a link was retracted for serious ethical and scientific flaws.

At Family Wellness Practice, we believe awareness starts with facts, not fear.
Every conversation rooted in science helps reduce stigma and build understanding for autistic individuals and their families. 💜

Let’s continue spreading accurate, compassionate education — because informed parents create empowered communities.

Children don’t always say they’re stressed — sometimes, they show it.
Stress can appear as tummy aches, headaches, feeling sick before school, or sudden changes in sleep, appetite, or mood.

This is called somatisation — when emotional stress shows up through the body.
It often feels safer for a child to say, “My stomach hurts,” than to say, “I feel scared” or “I’m nervous.”

As parents and caregivers, it’s important to look beyond the symptoms and listen to what the behaviour is trying to tell us.
Behind every tantrum, withdrawal, or ache, there’s usually a need for comfort, connection, and understanding.

💜 The next time your child’s body speaks for their emotions — pause, connect, and respond with calm. That’s where healing begins.

The morning rush — a familiar chaos.
Shoes missing, bag half-packed, emotions rising before the day even begins.
For many families, this isn’t just about “getting ready.” It’s about navigating transitions that feel overwhelming — especially for neurodivergent children.

What looks like resistance or “not listening” is often a stress response.
Their nervous system is trying to manage noise, time pressure, bright lights, and constant reminders — all before 8 a.m.

Here’s what helps instead of hurry:
🌿 Slow your own pace and tone — calm is contagious.
🌿 Create a calmer environment by reducing noise, clutter, or visual distractions.
🌿 Use visual schedules or checklists — predictability lowers anxiety.
🌿 Acknowledge effort: “You’re doing your best to get ready.”

Transitions are hardest when a child’s system feels unsafe or overstimulated. When we shift from urgency to understanding, mornings can transform from tears to teamwork. 💜

📩 Want support building smoother, calmer routines?
Our therapists help families design morning plans that work with, not against, a child’s nervous system.

When a child struggles to calm down, our instinct is often to tell them to “relax” or “breathe.”
But before children can regulate their emotions, they first need to borrow ours.

💜 Young children “co-regulate” — their nervous system learns safety from a caregiver’s tone, body language, and presence.
The way we respond in stressful moments literally teaches their brain what calm feels like.

So the next time your child is overwhelmed, try:
✨ Slowing your own breathing.
✨ Softening your voice.
✨ Lowering your body to their level.
✨ Naming what they might be feeling (“That was really hard, wasn’t it?”).

Your calm becomes their compass.
And over time, they learn to carry that calm within themselves. 🌿

🌿 An experience of healing, connection, and renewal 🌿

Our recent retreat in Andalusia brought together women from diverse paths for four days of reflection, movement, and spiritual growth.

Here, our Yoga & Integrative Psychotherapy facilitator shares her beautiful experience — guiding participants through mindfulness, journaling, yoga, IFS, and spiritual connection, all surrounded by nature’s serenity.

Every moment was designed to help women reconnect with their inner selves and embrace healing in mind, body, and spirit. ✨

Healing rarely happens all at once.

It begins quietly — in moments of calm, reflection, and gentle awareness. 🌊

The path ahead doesn’t need to be perfect; it just needs to be yours.

💜 Take a pause today — breathe, notice, and simply be.

29/10/2025

For many children, coming home isn’t just about unwinding — it’s about finally feeling safe enough to release the fatigue, effort, and emotions they’ve been holding in all day.

What looks like “overreacting” is often a sign of mental and emotional overload, not bad behaviour.
Home becomes the space where they can finally let go.

💜 A little understanding goes a long way — turning tears into progress and calm.

When your child walks through the door and the tears begin, try these gentle strategies to help them transition from overwhelm to ease:
1️⃣ Keep the transition low-demand.
2️⃣ Build in a movement release.
3️⃣ Offer calm reassurance, not pressure.
4️⃣ End the meltdown on a success.

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
At Family Wellness Practice, we support families in understanding emotional regulation and creating calmer evenings at home. 🌿

Our therapists can guide you step-by-step.
