Is your child feeling nervous about seeing their friends again? 💙

After long school breaks, it’s common for friendships to feel a little rusty. Even children who are usually social can feel unsure about reconnecting, worrying about where they fit or whether things will feel the same as before.

This kind of quiet social anxiety often shows up as clinginess or resistance to going back to school, not because something is wrong, but because connection takes a little time to warm back up.

Gentle reassurance and open conversations about allowing friendships to rebuild at their own pace can help your child feel safe and supported as they settle back into school life this term.

Our team is here to support your family as you navigate the return to school this month. Call us at 📞 02 9139 0126 to enquire.

For many children, challenges with attention, behaviour, or confidence are closely tied to how they’re feeling emotionally and how safe they feel in their learning environment.

These moments aren’t signs of something being wrong; rather, they can be cues that a child may need a little more understanding and support.

Taking a whole-child view means slowing down enough to notice how a child experiences the world, not just how they perform within it.

When we look beyond scores and expectations, we create space to support learning in ways that protect self-esteem and nurture curiosity.

If this brings up questions for you, you’re not alone. Our team is here when you’re ready to explore what support could look like for your child 📞 (02) 9139 0126

When is the right time to book a learning assessment for your child? 👨👩👧👦

Often, it starts with a quiet sense that something isn’t quite lining up. A child who is bright and curious, but struggling more than expected with reading, writing and/or keeping up in class. Effort doesn’t always match outcome, and learning can feel harder than it “should”.

These unexpected difficulties don’t mean anything is wrong. They’re simply a sign that your child may need support tailored to how they learn best.

Early conversations and assessments can help uncover strengths and guide practical strategies at school and at home.

You don’t need to wait until things feel overwhelming. Sometimes, asking the question early is what helps prevent frustration and protect confidence down the track.

If you’re noticing patterns and wondering what support your child might need, our team is here to talk it through with you. Call us at 📞 02 9139 0126 to arrange a learning assessment with our clinicians.

Embrace calmer back-to-school mornings this term 👨👩👧👦

A busy morning before the school run feels overwhelming for everyone, parents and little ones alike, but what if this term, things could feel a little calmer?

Just a few small adjustments to your family's morning routine, be that wake-up times or a fairer sharing of AM responsibilities, can make the transition back to school life feel a lot more manageable.

Returning to routine doesn't, and shouldn't have to feel like starting a climb back up the mountain. At Marsden Health, we work compassionately with families to help find a daily rhythm that works for them.

For families wanting a little extra support, our team is here when you’re ready 📞 02 9139 0126.

Follow your child's lead as they head back to school this term 📚

As parents, it can be all too easy to interpret your own concerns and fears as your little one's as they head back to school following the festive period.

Rather than assume they feel anxious, take the initiative to chat with them about their thoughts on going back to school. Let them take the lead in creating their own support rituals, focusing on a slow re-introduction to classroom life.

Our team is here to support parents and children through periods of transition, at a pace that feels right for you.

Call our team today to arrange a compassionate chat 📞 02 9139 0126 ahead of the new school year.

Feeling the post-holiday blues? You aren't alone 💙

It's not just the little ones who love the magic of Christmas. Adults are often left out of the conversation when it comes to the emotional impact of the holiday season.

This is your reminder that feeling that emotional dip after a holiday period filled with family and friends is completely normal.

Try to soften your expectations when moving back into your everyday life, taking things one day at a time and prioritising your rituals of self-care.

You don't have to navigate the post-holiday blues alone. If things are feeling a little much right now, our team is here when you’re ready to reach out 📞 (02) 9139 0126.

Sometimes, even a good night’s sleep doesn’t quite touch the tiredness that builds up over time 😴

The holiday period can be full, noisy, and emotionally busy. For both children and adults, it’s not unusual to come out the other side feeling a little worn down. Rest can take more than sleep. It can also come from easing back into familiar rhythms, gently and at a pace that feels manageable.

If family routines feel unsettled right now, you’re not alone. Many people find this time of year brings questions about what support might look like next.

If this resonates, our team is here when you’re ready to explore what could help.

Wishing you a peaceful New Year, from the entire Marsden Health team 🤍

If the year ahead feels like it needs a gentle beginning, that’s okay. There’s no need to move quickly or have everything figured out. Sometimes, starting slowly is exactly what’s needed.

Our clinic will reopen on Monday, the 5th of January. We can't wait to welcome you.

Feeling lost in the holiday overwhelm? You aren't alone. Here are a few rituals that can help 💙

The holidays, while beautiful, can also feel loud, busy, and emotionally full. If you find yourself getting overwhelmed, tiny grounding moments can make a big difference.

Simple rituals like stepping outside for a breath of fresh air, feeling your feet supported beneath you, or slowly washing your hands can bring you back into your body when everything feels a bit too much.

When the room feels heavy, or your mind starts to race, choose one gentle action to anchor yourself. A single exhale. A quiet detail in the room. A reminder that you’re allowed to pause.

Save this post to come back to when you need a gentle reminder.

Do you ever walk into a family gathering and suddenly feel 12 again?

It’s incredibly common for old family patterns to resurface the moment we’re all back under one roof.

Many of us grew up taking on certain roles: the organiser, the peacemaker, the sensitive one, the responsible one, and even if these roles don’t follow us into adult life, returning to the family home can switch them back on instantly.

These roles once helped us navigate childhood, but as adults, they can feel limiting or uncomfortable. And even when you're trying to show up differently, family members can unintentionally pull you right back into the version of you they’ve always known.

The goal here is to notice the old pull, pause, and choose a different response. Over time, those familiar patterns lose their power. Change doesn’t happen in one Christmas; it happens one gathering at a time. So be kind and patient with yourself.

If this season brings up familiar emotional patterns, be gentle with yourself. Noticing them is the first step, and support is always available when you're ready.

Wishing you a restful, peaceful holiday, from our family to yours 💙

We will be closed from 22nd December to 2nd January, reopening our doors to a new year on Monday, 5th.

What happened in Bondi has been deeply distressing. Many people feared for their lives, witnessed serious injury, or saw things no one should have to see. Events like this can affect individuals and whole communities, even those who weren’t directly involved.

In the days and weeks after trauma, it’s common to notice changes. Some people feel jumpy, on edge, or constantly alert. Others notice sadness, heaviness, anger, guilt, or a sense of helplessness. You might feel numb or disconnected from people around you. Memories or images can intrude unexpectedly or show up as nightmares. At times, it can feel as though it’s happening again.

Many people also experience physical responses, such as a racing heart, headaches, nausea, tightness in the chest, or poor sleep. Concentration at work or study may feel harder than usual. Some people find themselves avoiding places, people, or reminders that feel too close to the event.

These reactions are not signs that something is wrong with you. They are normal responses to an abnormal and frightening experience.

For many people, there is a natural recovery process over the first few weeks. During this time, it can help to stay connected with people you trust, talk about what happened at your own pace, gently return to daily routines when you’re able, and limit repeated exposure to distressing media. Avoidance can feel protective in the short term, but completely shutting it out can sometimes prolong distress. You don’t need to force yourself to talk, simply allow space for it when you’re ready.

If things are feeling hard to manage, reaching out to your GP or a psychologist can be a supportive step.

If symptoms remain intense or persistent over time, targeted psychological support can help. Post-traumatic stress is common, treatable, and nothing to be ashamed of.

You are not weak for being affected by this. You are human. Support is available, and you don’t have to navigate this alone.
