This week Ella our therapy dog has been supporting many anxious children, whether that be transitioning into or out of clinic or directly within their session.

Her favourite game to play is hide and seek with the children. She has played twice this week!
Can you spot her here? Waiting whilst we count to 10..... ready to find a child! 🐾🩷🌸

Sensory meltdowns are about the brain being overwhelmed, while tantrums are about the child expressing a feeling or wanting something. Recognising this distinction is key to providing appropriate support and intervention.

Remember , all behaviour is communication.

Primark is removing neck labels from more than 50% of childrenswear tops and introducing more sensory-friendly shopping times across its store estate ahead of the "back to school" trading period.

Another excellent NeuroWild visual.
Co-regulation is needed for all, not just young children. We should avoid always encouraging self regulation

Guess who is 6 today? The wonderful Ella, loved by so many children and parents .......... and of course me!

Ella tends to mainly support children now who attend clinic with transitions into and out of therapy and is an important part of a lot of children's therapy journey with us 🌸 we have had 5 parents go on to buy a Bichon Frise Puppy for their child after finishing therapy because they loved her so much!!!

How has she helped your child? Please comment if you feel able to 😄
