Sometimes it’s a simple things that help us to ground ourselves, and make us feel safe. Nature is a big part of that. Take the time to smell the roses, and listen to the birds. It can have more benefits than you know.

We typically think of stimming as children shaking their hands or flapping their arms. But adults do it too, and in ways you may not notice. Did you know that knitting can be considered as stimming? Leg bouncing, pencil tapping can be too. There are many different ways people stim. The one thing that they have in common, is that they are generally doing it, to help regulate themselves.

Bit late today! Sorry 😃

Wishing you all a fabulously positive day. And if any negativity leaks in, bail it out and keep going.
The interesting thing about boat, as we know water is not supposed to be inside it we just get rid of it. It doesn’t matter who put it there, how well meaning they were, we just know it’s water that’s not supposed to be inside the boat and we get rid of it.
Negativity can be the same. Doesn’t matter who puts it there, or how well meaning or not they were, no it is negativity, and bail it out..

Happy Mother’s Day 💐

Today we celebrate all the incredible mums in every form they come—those who are with us, those we carry in our hearts, and those who step into mothering roles in quiet, powerful ways every day.

To the mums who give endlessly, who hold everything together, who love fiercely even on the hard days—this day is for you.

To those who find Mother’s Day complicated or heavy, you’re not forgotten. Your experience matters too.

Thank you for the care, strength, patience, and love you bring into the world. It doesn’t go unnoticed.

To new mum’s and those with bubs to come,.. welcome to the crazy ride ♥️

Wishing everyone a day filled with appreciation, warmth, and a little time just for you 🤍

If you’ve noticed that your child (ADHD or not), starts talking a lot at bedtime, don’t be surprised.
All day their brains are going 1,000,000 miles an hour. They trying to follow rules, sit still, be quiet, play nice, etc. They don’t get the chance to process the day. At bedtime, their brain slowed down enough to be able to go over everything. To say the things that they wanted to say, ask all the things they have thought to ask, and share all the things that they have noticed and want to share with you. And as you are their person, they want you to know everything. And it is really hard when you are tired and exhausted from such a big day, and wanting them to go to sleep, so you yourself can go to bed. Take the moment, enjoy the shared experience. This is where they know they can tell you anything. Treasure it. Even if you think they are delaying going to bed, know that you get to share their moments. This is where they know that you are there for them. 100%.

When a child cries, they need compassion and understanding. What would your little ones do if they saw you in tears? What would you hope they would do? It’s a good thought to have, so you can make sure that you pass that gift of love to them too. Feeling cherished at your worst times, help helps you to feel cherished at your best times too. Both are equally as important.

Have a think about something that you have gotten good at. Probably something that you brush away to other others. And I imagine at the beginning it was really quite tough to do, but with nasty and patience now you can do it quite well. And now you have your next challenge and you’re wondering how you’re going to do it. Well with the same tenacity and patience you have used before, you’ll be able to do it again. Give yourself some credit. You have achieved lots in the past, you simply have not given yourself the chance to recognise that.

Whilst we cannot make other people happy, and that’s for themselves to do, what we can do is be considerate and kind to them. And providing a simple act of kindness to someone, has a possibility of happiness and inclusion for them which is a gift in itself. And it does not have to be expensive. A smile. Genuine eye contact. Acknowledgement. Opening a door, or pulling out a chair. Offering a coffee. Turning on the jug. There are so many small acts of kindness that you can do for someone else, that can simply make their day. And by doing so, also fulfil yours.

What new adventure can you try today? Is it going to be fast pace and full of surprises? Or is it gonna be slow, breathing in the air, and noticing the light of day? Noticing the moments just as they are, and not taking them for granted.

A new day each day! What a blessing. Do with it what you can to make it amazing.
