Red Frog: for Families

14/04/2026

Therapist Top Tuesday 👩‍⚕️

This week’s tip comes from our Behaviour Support team.

As children grow, behaviour can look different — but the need for support stays the same.

Try:
💬 having calm conversations after situations
🧠 exploring what worked and what didn’t
🤝 problem-solving together

This helps build self-awareness, confidence and emotional regulation over time.

Our dedicated Behaviour Support team is here to support every stage!

MINDFUL MONDAY 🐸
Choose one positive thought to carry with you this week.
It might be:
✨ “I’m doing my best.”
✨ “Small steps matter.”
✨ “Today is a new start.”

A simple walk can be more powerful than it seems.

Walking together can support:
🚶 movement and wellbeing
💬 conversation
🧠 routine building
🌱 regulation

You might:
✔️ walk to a local park
✔️ explore a new area
✔️ create a weekly routine

Small habits like this can build confidence and connection over time.

💬 Do you have a favourite walking spot in Newcastle?

Therapist Top Tip Tuesday 💡🐸

Instead of "How was your day?"
Ask: "What made you smile today?"

Simple questions can open up meaningful conversations.

Mindful Monday 🌿🐸🐝

Spending just a few minutes outside can help reset your mind.

Fresh air, sunshine, and a short walk can make a big difference to how we feel.

Inclusive Easter Activity 🐰

Try a sensory Easter egg hunt.

Instead of chocolate, fill eggs with:

🌈 textured fabrics
🧩 small puzzles
🎨 stickers
🎵 mini-instruments

This allows children with sensory sensitivities to enjoy the activity in their own way!

Therapy often focuses on creating experiences that are flexible and inclusive for every child.
