It's been a while since I ran these. For 8-10 year olds, these classes aim to help your child take back control of their thoughts and learn to fight their anxiety gremlin! So if your child is an over-thinker, a worrier or experiences "sore tummies" at the idea of something new or even going to school every morning, these sessions may help understand the fight, flight, freeze response. Get in touch to book your space.

🌈Children’s Mental Health Week
🌈The theme this year is “This is my place”

At The Wellness Cottage, we create a nurturing and safe environment where children and adults alike can explore and nurture their mental well-being. My after-school club and 1-2-1 wellness sessions offer a compassionate space for young minds to feel heard, supported, and empowered thus gaining the tools to help combat their anxieties.

If you would like more information on either sessions, get in touch.

This evening during two separate sessions, I had an interesting conversation about confirmation bias. Taking the time to explore this and question “the wee stories in our head” is the beginning of change.

Confirmation bias is the tendency to pay attention to and seek out information that confirms our pre-existing beliefs, while ignoring information that contradicts them. Eg. “Everyone in my class is allowed to!” When in fact the child is only referring to two or three students.

Building self confidence and positive self talk is just one of the issues we focus on in 1-2-1 sessions

I’m so excited today. 😬 I have a brand new website up and running where you can now view, book and pay online for your sessions. It makes everything much easier and gives me time back to focus on that work-life balance which I spend so much time advising on. Time to take my own advice!! 😆
Please, any hiccups let me know.
Check it out!

Demand avoidant children aren’t really avoiding demands.

That’s one of the biggest mistakes that parents make when trying to help their children. It looks like they are avoiding demands, it’s true. And reducing demands can often help.

But really demand avoidant children are avoiding the emotional response which follows a demand. The spike of anxiety. The feeling that they must be under threat. Those feelings are horrible and they want to get rid of them.

They want that feeling to go away as soon as possible and so they avoid. Those feelings are so intense that it feels like there’s no way out except to avoid.

The problem is that the more they avoid, the worse those feelings can get. Because when you are afraid of your feelings, they start to feel like a threat themselves. Very quickly, everyone explodes.

How can parents help? That’s what I’m talking about in my webinar. Understanding and Helping Your Demand Avoidant Child. Please share if you know parents who are reducing demands but finding it’s not enough.

Wednesday 8th October.

I’m having problems with my website and online diary atm. Message me directly for appointments. Oct diary is almost full. Just a wee reminder that payment secures booking. If I don’t receive your payment within 24/48 hours, unfortunately appointments will be redistributed as I have a waiting list.
