National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is an important opportunity to both remember and take action. We invite you to spend time understanding the impact of harms done in the past and decide how you can contribute to a different future.

Today is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with your family exploring what reconciliation means, what it requires of you and how to use the resources you have to make a difference.

For those of you with younger children we have compiled a list of stories that you can find in your local library, bookstore or online. This is a great way to start conversation.

Understanding Asynchronous Development can really change the way you see your child or teens behaviours. What if they are experiencing significant delays in some areas of development but not in others? This would explain why they demand independence and in the same breath need you to do things for them they should be able to do themselves given their chronological age. It also helps make sense of the toddler like meltdowns in big bodies. If this is something you really want to understand better please consider joining me for my 12 week course experience, Parenting Children with Developmental Trauma.

🎧 At A Child’s Song, healing begins with listening.

We’re offering the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) — a gentle, music-based therapy designed to help children feel safe, connected, and calm in their bodies.

SSP supports the nervous system using specially filtered music that speaks directly to the part of the brain that listens for safety.

Whether your child struggles with anxiety, sensory sensitivities, trauma, or emotional regulation — SSP can help soften stress responses and create space for trust, play, and connection.

💚Trauma-informed
🎵 Rooted in science
🌱 Delivered with care by A Child’s Song
Curious if SSP is right for your child?
