Mother’s Day can be joyful but it can also be one of the toughest days of the year for a multitude of reasons. Whatever today means to you, look after yourself x

As the parent of a child who had anxiety and separation anxiety, at primary school, I know exactly how it feels to leave your crying, sad, traumatised child with the teacher at the door.
Now, as a 14 year old at high school, my daughter has her coping strategies in place to get herself into school every morning, but its not easy and those feelings shouldn't be ignored.

As the picture says below- being in school isn't the priority. Being ok, feeling safe and supported and being heard, is the priority

Lovely to spend family time together this weekend. Sometimes my youngest gives me the push I need to do new things. This weekend we went and watched the fly past at the Trooping the colour. She loved it and I love seeing her so happy. Capturing her without her knowing and saving memories. Some days are hard and some days are very, very special!

So very true! Inside out 2 is now in cinemas. Relevant for all ages! - Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust have been running a successful operation by all accounts. However, when Anxiety shows up, they aren’t sure how to feel.

What children eat has a huge impact on how they feel and their overall well-being.
Eating a healthy, balanced diet is the best way to achieve energy, boost mood and concentration, sleep better and prevent future diseases.
Trying the 80:20 rule is a good way to achieve a healthy diet while still enjoying some treats. Making healthy food/drink choices 80% of the time and allowing 20% of your choices to be less healthy will help you stick to a healthier diet without feeling like you are being deprived of the fun stuff!

CAN YOU HELP?
I am currently completing my qualification in Parent Coaching and as part of my studies I am required to complete 40 hours of coaching to parents of children aged 4-19 years. This can be to support parents with their own connections with their
children or their overall mental health and wellbeing, as well as looking at strategies to support their children’s well-being, emotional literacy and management of feelings, transitions, anxiety, worries and with their self-esteem and confidence .
If you would be interested, I would require a minimum of 4-6 sessions with you over a period of weeks either online or face to
face.
Based near Kingston. Please contact me via my page
