📚 Author Gratitude

A special moment for an author — seeing your story come alive on a classroom wall.

Thank you, St. Patrick’s Primary School (Aughadarragh), for this wonderful Let Us In Nana Jean display.

We all make mistakes — and that’s how we learn! 🌈💛

Nana Jean Workshops explore Mistakes & Repair because every child deserves to know that mistakes don’t define them — they help us grow. 🌱

And we even end each session with a little chocolate meditation to bring everyone back to calm and positivity. 🍫✨

🎒 Book a Nana Jean Workshop and help your students turn “oops” moments into opportunities for connection and calm.

✨ The joy of play ✨

Pom poms flying, emotions flowing — helping kids understand their feelings, one playful moment at a time.

From storybook pages to classroom circles — Chrysalis Play Therapy NI was born from my passion to help children feel seen, safe, and supported. 💛

As the author of ‘Let Us In, Nana Jean’, I bring the story to life through interactive workshops that teach emotional awareness, mindfulness, and calm — all through play and creativity.

Because every child deserves a space to grow, to express, and to find their calm.

🎒 Bring the Nana Jean Workshops to your school or organisation — and help children build emotional awareness, resilience, and joy through play. 💫

This iceberg illustration helps us explore what might really be going on when a child hits.

TODAY'S TOPIC WILL BE IMPULSE CONTROL - there is a high probability that your child who hits struggles with impulse control. Follow for more.
