🌟 Fact or Fiction 🌟

When kids understand their emotions, they do better. 💡

Our Fact or Fiction group helps children go beyond the basics of “happy, sad, angry, scared” and truly explore:
✨ The science behind the brain & emotions (through games, hands-on learning & videos)
✨ Myths about feelings, thoughts & interactions with others
✨ How emotions impact friendships & handling tricky social moments
✨ How self-image and confidence shape everyday life

With guidance from skilled clinicians, kids learn practical strategies to:
💬 Manage emotions with support from adults
🤝 Build stronger social connections
💪 Strengthen confidence & self-competency

The result? A boost in emotional regulation, friendships, and overall wellbeing. 🌱

***

From emotional regulation to social skills, our evidence-based group programs are designed to nurture growth, connection, and wellbeing. 💜

📅 We run multiple programs throughout the year at our North Lakes & Stafford clinics.

💚 We're highlighting a different group program each week! Learn more & explore our group programs through the link below: https://youngmindsnetwork.com.au/group.../childrens-groups/

💭 Think you know ADHD? Let’s bust some myths.
It’s time to separate the science from the stereotypes — because when we understand neurodiversity, we can better support it. 💚

From “they just need to try harder” to “it’s only a childhood thing” — these myths keep so many families from getting the right help and understanding.
