Educating children and families about the stress responses (fight flight freeze and fawn, and seeing “flop” as a possible new category) leads us to rationale why the adults need to be aware and shift mindset. The Australian Childhood Foundation is a goldmine of information and resources!!

In regular foster and kinship carers sessions I run, someone tells a story about a child or young person in their care who regularly lies. In this blog we run through reasons why children lie and tips on addressing lying.

We’re going to be here ready for some outdoor fun!!!! Hope to see you there!

Massive glaciers. Bone-chilling temperatures. From avalanches to icebergs to ornery moose, Alaska winters can seem more intimidating than inviting. Add the high cost of cold-weather gear, and those factors can be enough to keep would-be adventurers indoors until spring. It’s this “wintimidation....

✨ One of our FAVORITE activities is back… OuiSi Nature!! ✨

This game is pure magic for growing brains. 🧠💜

It’s completely open-ended, meaning there are endless ways to play. Kids get to think creatively, make connections, build stories, and problem-solve in ways that feel like play (because it is!).

While they’re having fun, they’re also strengthening:
✔️ Flexible thinking
✔️ Planning & organizing
✔️ Visual scanning
✔️ Working memory
✔️ Creativity & connection-making

Executive functioning skills can look like laughter, collaboration, and “Wait! I have an idea!” moments. (we had PLENTY of those!)

We love activities that build regulation, resilience, and relationships… and OuiSi checks every box. 💜

Have you played it yet?
