The Circle of Security Parenting Program is full of gems and tips, that actually make parenting easier! The motto 'Bigger, Stronger, Wiser and Kind' is one.

We all struggle as parents to find the balance between good cop and bad cop, tough love vs letting things go.

Am I being too tough? Should I be tougher?

Bigger, Stronger, Wiser, Kind reminds us that kids need our firm boundaries, alongside emotional validation and acceptance of their emotions.

This is what build's trust, resilience and self esteem.

Flying Start are hosting The Circle of Security Parenting Program in 2026. More information and registrations via our website

About last week… 🙌🏻

The Flying Start Christmas catch-up with our crew 🥰

Great company, plenty of laughs, and a much-needed chance to spend some time together amongst the end of year chaos. Always good to press pause, eat too much and reflect on the year that was.

What a team we have! ✨

Big feelings often come from little people doing hard things.

If your child gets frustrated quickly, it’s not because they’re being difficult - it’s often a sign that something feels too hard, too fast, or too overwhelming.

Frustration is communication. When we respond with calm validation, children learn that big feelings are manageable, and that they’re not alone.

Introducing… FLYING START BOOK CLUB!

We’re excited to launch a monthly Book Club designed to bring families wonderful resources that support connection, learning, and confidence.

Each month we’ll highlight a book recommendation that we either use during therapy sessions, has a great message or story line, useful evidence-based content, or is just fun to read with your child while supporting their development in lots of ways.

Whether you’re a parent, carer, educator, or someone who just loves books — this space is for you! 📚

A wonderful catch-up with our amazing team—complete with Christmas crafts and a few of our own special little helpers 🎄We’re constantly reminded of the importance of our great team. Surrounding ourselves with people who support, collaborate and care makes all the difference on the impact we have on our clients and their families. So grateful for our team!

Today is International Day of People with Disability (IDPwD), a United Nations day that promotes community awareness and understanding of people with disability.

The theme for IDPwD 2025 is fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress.

The theme means we all need to work together to make society fairer and respect the rights of people with disability.

To do this, we need to:
👉 Take away barriers that stop people with disability from joining in.
👉 Make sure people with disability have the same chances as others.
👉 Have health care and good education that everyone can use.
👉 Include people with disability in all parts of life.

We also need to understand the problems people with disability face. This includes being poor, not being able to find a job and being treated unfairly.
