Some tips from Lisa, one of our Early Intervention Key Workers here at Necessity Kids, and a mum of three with a passion for mindfulness and supporting families.
As many parents transition back to work while children are still enjoying the school holidays, it’s completely normal to feel a mix of stress, overwhelm, or anxiety. Lisa has put together some gentle reminders to support your family’s wellbeing during this period of change.
Mindful moments, intentional play, and time outdoors can help regulate both children and adults as routines begin to shift again. Even small, consistent practices can create steadiness within a busy start to the year.
Swipe through to read more about how to support calm, connection, and mindfulness over the coming weeks.

Christmas can be loud, busy, and full of expectations.
For some children and young people, it also means masking — suppressing emotions, being compliant, and pushing through discomfort to keep the peace.

This post is written in the voice of the child.
It’s not about behaviour.
It’s about what often goes unseen at Christmas — and how small shifts like offering choices and space to decompress can make a big difference.

We’re so proud to share this incredible resource created by Neave, a student who has been completing her placement with the Speech Pathology team!
Neave has developed a clear, practical website to support teachers and educators to better understand Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) — what it is, what to look out for, and how to support children in everyday learning environments.
Resources like this help bridge the gap between awareness and action, and we love seeing emerging professionals contribute meaningfully to inclusive practice.

As we head into the final week of Term 4, we can all feel it. The tiredness, the big emotions, and the countdown to a well-earned break.
This is a gentle reminder from the Necessity Kids team to look after yourself. As the week comes to a close, everyone-children and adults are ready to rest. Right now, it’s about connection over perfection, meeting your child where they’re at and connecting in the ways your child and family thrive.
Small moments of presence, co-regulation and care matter more than ticking every box. We’re almost there. Take a breath, be kind to yourself, and know the school holiday break is just around the corner
You’ve done an incredible job getting through the year..we’ve got this! 🎄

How does Occupational Therapy support children's development? ✨
Please listen as Adam sits down with our wonderful OT, Kathleen, to chat about how she supports children in everyday activities.

Kathleen has such a warm, whole-child approach. She makes therapy fun, engaging and meaningful, helping children develop skills that transfer into home, school and the community.
