There is limited availability of appointments between now and December. There are two possible spaces on a Tuesday fortnightly remaining. If you’re sitting on the fence or unsure now is the time to take action.

The move was chaos, but I'm finally seeing the light! I'm back to my master's studies and heading to Melbourne for classes. Can't wait to share our new space with you all as you come in over the next month !

Did you know the Yarrawonga Toy Library has been part of the community since March 1991?

We first opened in the Old Courthouse, and as the collection grew, so did we moving through a few different homes before finding our perfect spot at the Yarrawonga Early Childhood Centre on Orr Street.

Like many, we hit pause in 2020 due to Covid-19, but came back stronger with more toys, more members, and even more fun!
From puzzles and dress-ups to bikes and baby toys, we’ve got something for every little learner.

Come down today from 9:30-10:30 and see what we’re all about borrow, play, and be part of a growing, sustainable community!

Yesterday you told your toddler not to throw rocks at their sibling and they managed it, but today you give the same instruction and they just keep doing it?!

It can feel confusing (and exhausting) when you think you’ve “taught” something and then it suddenly disappears. But following instructions isn’t just about knowing what to do.

Firstly, for young children especially, executive function skills like memory, processing and impulse control are still developing. Like any developmental skill, progress isn’t linear. Sometimes they can do it, and sometimes they can’t.

Children also test boundaries. Not in a manipulative or defiant way, but because they’re learning what’s predictable, what’s negotiable, and how safe it feels to say no. This kind of “testing” is a natural part of development.

And importantly, capacity fluctuates. Things like tiredness, hunger, emotional overwhelm, sensory input or too many demands can all shrink a child’s window of tolerance, making it harder to hear, process, or act on what’s being asked.

Think of this scenario. One day, your partner says “Let’s take the kids to the zoo!” and you say “Yep let’s do it!” A few weeks later, they say “The zoo was fun, let’s go again today!” and you reply, “I really don’t think I can manage that today”.

Most parents know that feeling. You’re not saying no because you’re trying to be difficult or you forgot the steps involved in going to the zoo, you’re just tired, stressed, or stretched too thin that day. Your capacity has changed, and your partner would probably understand.

It’s the same for kids. Some days they can manage a particular expectation, and other days they can’t.

And this applies to every other skill or behaviour we expect of children. Inconsistency doesn’t mean defiance or regression, it often just means their capacity has shifted.

Happy weekend ! I have no planned or created content yet for the next month . Things have been very busy with in and out of hospital weeks but this past week has been better. We have great news with the final chemotherapy sessions on the horizon. With my treatment winding up and some time off this next week (I won’t be working on the 28-31 July) I will hopefully have some space to create and share. I can’t wait to welcome everyone to our new space it’s takes lots of elbow grease and love but the essentials are there and the carpets are being done today so the big things are done.
What content would you like me to focus on for the next month comment below to help inspire and curate with me ?

Apparently research is showing those with neurodivergence need at least 20-22 sessions of therapeutic care to benefit. This is significantly more than the standard finding bodies and systems like Medicare provide. Enjoyed an afternoon of PDA education with and
