As a parent, watching your children grow up and find love is both a joy and a bittersweet milestone. I’ve written a heartfelt letter to the partners of my grown children—a piece of my heart and a thank you to those who now share their journey. If you’ve ever felt the emotions of letting go and loving from afar, I hope these words resonate with you.

Every child is born with unique strengths, talents, and quirks. Our role as adults isn’t to shape them into what we think they should be, but to nurture their individuality and let their true selves shine.

Growth happens when we provide encouragement, patience, and space for children to explore who they are.

Let’s celebrate the differences that make each child special. When we nurture—not control—we empower children to become confident, compassionate, and resilient adults.

Parenting isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being present.

We all have days when things don’t go to plan, when patience runs thin, or when the “right” answer just isn’t clear. But what matters most to children isn’t perfection—it’s knowing you’re there for them, listening, guiding, and encouraging them through the ups and downs.

Even on the tough days, small moments of connection—a shared laugh, a hug, a chat after school—build a foundation of trust and resilience that lasts a lifetime. Remember, your presence is the greatest gift you can give your child.

If you ever feel overwhelmed or unsure, you’re not alone. Our team is here for you—no judgement, just understanding and support. Together, we can help you and your family thrive.

💔 To Gus’s Mum, Dad, and Grandparents—

This letter is for you. Written from the heart of a grandmother, it’s for every family who has ever loved and lost, who has ever faced the unthinkable.

Sometimes, words can barely hold the weight of sorrow, but they can remind us we’re not alone. If you’ve ever loved a child, held your breath in worry, or grieved with a family in pain, please read and share this moving letter from Niki Gent.

It’s for the grandparents who opened their home and hearts.

It’s for the parents living every parent’s deepest fear.

It’s for all of us who ache for Gus, and for every missing child.

May you find comfort, hope, and community—no matter how dark the day.

That’s why we offer five home visits, tailored strategies, and ongoing phone support, no matter where you live in Australia. We’re here to help families strengthen their bonds, navigate challenges, and create calmer, happier homes.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or just want a little extra support, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to do it all by yourself. Reach out for a confidential chat to see how we can help your family thrive, wherever you are.

Because every family deserves support that meets them where they are.
