Growing Me is a physical toolkit and digital guide that nurtures an existing relationship between a child and their trusted adult, with a 10 session journey packed with fun animations, therapeutic games and creative activities.

Our mission is to bring a body of work recommended for many care-experienced children (Therapeutic Life Story Work) into the hands of those who know and care for a child best.

We believe...

🤾‍♀️ ...Learning is best when a child is feeling safe and having fun.

🫶 ...Relational trauma is resoloved through relationships

💪 ...Many adults (not just therapists!) are capable of providing much of the therapeutic input these children need if they are given the time and resources to do so.

A merry festive break from all of us at Growing Me!

21/12/2025

Maybe it's the central heating and the lack of sunlight that make my house plants unhappy - whatever's going on, they certainly need a little extra care!

Winter, with its short days, sees us snuggled up inside.

We can listen to the rain and wind, feeling snug and cosy.

Maybe we have to walk a dog in the dark, watching for the lights of a collar flashing across the park.

Winter offers an opportunity to turn inwards. Whilst the seasons here in the northern hemisphere can be hard, they also offer an opportunity for nurture that can be rich in lessons and resources.

In their fertile void of cold and dark, plants are using this essential opportunity to get ready for a spring and summer of action and production. Spring and summer are growthful and exciting, but constant demands of growth and production would burn us out if we were stuck in them all year round.

I want to learn from the plants and our cold winter, to take the invitation to turn inwards. To nurture the parts of myself that I may have neglected and make space for a spring and summer of creation and production after a well earned rest.

My houseplants may need an extra bit of TLC right now... Perhaps we can all benefit by finding out what we need too.
