💐Haply Mother’s Day💐

What are you doing this Mother’s Day?

I’m having my Mum over and my husband and kids are making us a lovely afternoon tea ☕️🍰😋

Today is a lovely day for some and I feel fortunate to be in that category. But it’s a very hard day for many.

No matter how you’re feeling today and what you are doing, I hope you have some me time, do something mindful and relax ❤️

Like what I’ve mentioned in previous posts, prevention is better than cure.

Don’t wait until your child is struggling with their emotions and finding it hard to understand why they feel how they feel and how to cope with these big feelings.

Big feelings pop up for many reasons through life - loosing at a game, not wanting to share, social misunderstandings, changes and transitions, hormones, self awareness and self doubt, school worries, exam stress, relationship break ups… It keeps on going.

Prepare them early with emotional literacy skills.

Breathe sessions can do this from the age of 5 into the teen years.

We spend billions treating mental health crises.

Imagine if we invested that same energy before kids reached the edge.

Early emotional education is the fence. The one we build when children are young, when their brains are most receptive, when the investment costs the least and returns the most.

Professor Pamela Snow’s analogy says it so well. Start early. Build the fence 🧠❤️

Some children calm their minds best through their bodies. If your child struggles to sit still when overwhelmed, their nervous system may be asking for movement, not more words.

Flamingo Standing is a simple balance activity that gently supports regulation, focus, and body awareness. It can be used before school, during homework, or after a big emotional moment.

Balance and breathing is a powerful pair for settling the nervous system. Many children find this playful and surprisingly calming.

If this helped, save it for later or share with someone who supports a child.

What time of day would your child try this — morning, after school, or bedtime?

We can work with children to understand their nervous systems and learn mindful tools to try and help calm the amygdala (meerkat) when in alert mode…

Being 1 of 5 girls I’m from a family of strong independent women, I work with many incredible ladies, have the best “top tier” of girl friends and I’m trying my best to raise a fantastic young lady, whose stubbornness and big emotions tell me she’ll be a very strong woman one day!

Without the brave, smart and inspiring friends I have who are already on their own business journeys giving me advice, support and encouragement I’d never have started this BREATHE venture! Thank you ladies 💖

Ayla and I had a great day at EmotionAll with Pauline Lawson’s studio today discovering lots of new games.

Games aren’t only for fun, they help with social skills, communication, team work, patience, resilience, using our logical minds… the list goes on…

When I was feeling frustrated and tempted to quit one of the games Ayla rightly said “no we’re nearly there”. She has great determination and patience, and was right!!

Put your child’s name down for the upcoming games sessions so they cam develop all of these skills while meeting new friends and discovering mew games 🎲♣️🧩
