🌸 In every small flower, a child finds wonder, and without trying, teaches us the art of mindfulness.🌸

🌿 Watching my children play sometimes reminds me to pause, breathe and notice the magic in everyday moments.
Slow down and see the world through a child's eyes🌿

🌈A world of patterns, shapes, and sound,
A place where hidden joys are found.
A touch too soft, a light too bright,
A mind that dances in the night.

I learn, I love, I feel, I grow,
In ways the world may never know.
But when you pause and truly see,
You’ll find the magic inside me.

For different minds make life complete,
A symphony both wild and sweet.
So let’s embrace, include, and cheer,
For every voice deserves to hear. 🌈

🌸 Happy Mother’s Day 🌸

The last week i have been reading Jessica Urlichs book Beautiful Chaos and I thought I'd share this lovely poem for the day that's in it.

As Jessica so beautifully writes:

You are not ‘just’ anything
Not just a woman
Or just a friend
A wife
A partner
Or just a mother
You are a universe
Made up of waves that brought life
Stars that hold dreams
Landscapes of home
Rocks that will crumble but will always remain The wind’s gentle sway, and strongest roar
You are someone’s ‘all’ And ‘all’ is not lost
You are a mother
But never ‘just’.

💕Jessica Urlichs

✨Motherhood is love in its purest form, its messy, beautiful exhausting and magical all at once.
Wishing love, strength, and gratitude to all the wonderful mummy's today. 💜Love Tasha

✨ Neurodiversity Celebration Week ✨

This week, we celebrate the beauty of different minds! Neurodiversity reminds us that every brain is wonderfully unique.At Wonder and Awe, I create safe spaces where children (and parents) can embrace who they are, build confidence, and find tools that help them feel calm, focused, and self assured.

Here’s a simple grounding practice to help calm our mind

✨ 5-4-3-2-1 Mindfulness ✨
Wherever you are, take a deep breath and notice:
👀 5 things you can see
👂 4 things you can hear
🤲 3 things you can touch
👃 2 things you can smell
❤️ 1 thing you love about yourself

This practice helps bring us back to the present moment, easing any overwhelm and inviting calm.

🌟 Affirmation for today "I am unique, I am enough, and I belong just as I am

🌟 Why do we say affirmations? 🌟
Our words shape our thoughts, and our thoughts shape how we feel. Affirmations help reshape our brains to believe in our worth and strength. For neurodivergent minds, they’re a daily reminder that they belong, they are brilliant, and they are enough just as they are.

Let’s celebrate neurodivergent children (and grown-ups!) every day. If you would love to explore mindful ways to support your child’s confidence and well-being, keep an eye for upcoming classes/workshops
