The Nurtured Village - Child & Family Therapy

04/11/2025

Parenting can feel heavy — especially when you’re raising a child who experiences the world a little differently.

Some days you’re holding it all together with coffee and hope. Other days, you’re not sure where to turn for support that actually understands.

That’s why I created Kindred ✨
A safe, supportive community for parents raising sensitive, spirited or neurodivergent children.

Inside, you’ll find:
🌸 Monthly masterclasses & Q+As
🌸 Coffee + Chat sessions
🌸 A resource hub full of practical tools
🌸 A private community where you’re never alone
🌸 Optional 1:1 support if you want to go deeper

Because you were never meant to do this alone.

After handing out Body Safety Bookmarks at the Child & Family Expo on Sunday, I wanted to share a few of my absolute favourite resources for continuing those conversations at home, the Little BIG Chats books 💛

These gorgeous little reads by Jayneen Sanders open up big topics like consent, body safety, and respect in ways that make sense to kids — gentle, empowering, and age-appropriate.

When we give kids the language for boundaries, safety, and connection, we give them the tools to understand themselves and others. These books make that learning feel safe, playful, and full of heart.

Because big conversations don’t have to be scary — they can start small, with stories like these.

Ever picked your child up from school only to be met with grumpiness, tears, or complete silence?

You’re not alone — and your child isn’t being “naughty.” Their nervous system is just running on empty.

After a full day of listening, learning, holding it together, and navigating social dynamics, kids often hit their limit. That’s where the HALT tool can help.

💛 HALT = Hungry, Angry/ Anxious, Lonely, Tired.
These unmet needs can trigger emotional dysregulation, especially in sensitive or neurodivergent kids.

Before we label the after-school meltdown as bad behaviour, let’s pause and ask:
👉 Are they hungry?
👉 Are they holding onto some big feelings?
👉 Did they feel disconnected today?
👉 Are they simply exhausted?

When we meet these needs with curiosity and care, we support their nervous system to feel safe again.

📲 Swipe through to learn how the HALT tool can help your child transition gently from school to home.

You’re not a bad parent. They’re not a bad kid. There’s just a need under the behaviour.

Ever wondered what therapy looks like at The Nurtured Village?

We know starting therapy can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve created a clear, step-by-step process — from your first parent intake session through to transitioning out when your child is ready.

It’s not about ticking boxes. It’s about supporting your whole family, collaboratively and compassionately.
