Say hello to this little beaver.

I came across him this evening while sorting things out. It took me back to my time as a Beaver Leader (I did nearly 15 years!). See, he's even wearing his necker!

Working with children aged 6-8 years is special. It's a time when confidence is growing, friendships are forming, and they're starting to understand their place in the world.

It's also when the right support can make a huge difference to their wellbeing and self-belief.

During my time running Beavers, as well as a coach going into local Scout groups, I've had the pleasure of bringing wellbeing and self-belief in children to the fore through fun, engaging activities.

I even got invited to a sleepover at the local campsite, Youlbury, to help the children settle in with simple calming and relaxation techniques to ease them into bedtime.

Seeing this little guy again got me thinking...beavers themselves (the animal) are great little role models. They're curious, resilient, team-oriented, and quietly determined - exactly the kinds of traits we want to nurture in children as they grow.

I may not be leading a Beaver group anymore but through my coaching I still get to support this age group to build all of those qualities and more in a way that feels fun, safe, and empowering.

Funny how small things can bring back great memories and remind you where much of your journey started.

You’re about to take your GCSEs or A-Levels.

Your head is pounding. Your heart is racing. Your palms are sweaty…and you’re not even in the exam hall yet.

This is exactly the kind of anxiety my workshop this week is designed to help with.

I've tried sharing my posts before in local community groups, but they don't seem to go live for some reasons, so this is likely my final call on here now.

If you are a Year 11 or a sixth former, or you know one who is feeling overwhelmed by exams, please share this with them or their parent/carer.

Let’s help them walk into that exam feeling calmer and more in control.

'Can I have a quiet word?' - 💔 And then my heart broke 💔

I'd been supporting one of our Oxfordshire schools for a few weeks, providing emotional wellbeing drop-in workshops at breaks and lunch, when we agreed to slot in an after school session for 18 Year 11 girls who were struggling with the prospect of their looming GCSE's.

Friday after school can be a tricky time for workshops anyway, but even before I opened the doors to the gym, the air was heavy.

The staff member scuttled in.

'Can I have quiet word?'

Sure.

'None of the girls wants to be here Monday. Not just not be in school because of their exams, but...well, you've worked in schools and with teens, you get what I mean. We're in high alert safeguarding mode now. I'm sorry. The session might not be pleasant.'

And do you know what? It was one of the best sessions ever because what that group needed wasn't panic stations, a ton of tips on how read an exam paper, or which pencil case to bring.

Instead, we spent about an hour learning emotional regulation skills, relaxing, chatting, and finding a shared space where anything went. We even had laughter.

And then they left...and what could have been a really overwhelming session wasn't. It felt like a shift had occurred and they'd be OK.

I later received a message to say that they'd all gone in quite positive the following week and were using the strategies I'd shared.

It's been a while since I ran that workshop but the change in state over the course of an hour was evident.

This is why I decided to resurrect my workshop for local Year 11's. Have you got your place yet?

Can't wait to help some more young people be emotionally exam ready!

It's and today it's all about you and your skills and talents - the things that make you YOU.

Spend three minutes thinking about those special things that you're really good at. They don't have to be huge things like running ultra marathons (they could be), but they could be to do with your household and family, who or how you connect to others, something health related that you're mastering, or even that you're a fantastic cake baker - and if you are, why are you staying silent? Let me know!

Why not share your uniqueness below, starting with 'I'm great at...' because you are! I want to shout about you and celebrate you!

Proof that a kind heart can make a huge difference to somebody's day. I especially love seeing scenes like this where young people are making a difference because they receive bad press all too often. Well done to Will. With this level of awareness and compassion to his fellow human, he's making his corner of the world that little bit better.

School looking fine on the surface?

Children are playing and messing about, the classrooms buzzing with energy, and playgrounds and social spaces full, so things are fine because that’s the 'normal' we expect to see...or is it?

The truth is, there's often a quieter story underneath.

There's the child who hangs back, the one who wants to join in… but doesn’t know how, the one who starts to tell themselves, 'I’m just shy' or 'I don’t fit in'.

It's easy to overlook these moments because at first they're really subtle, but over time, those small moments can shape how a child sees themselves and their place in the world.

When a child is supported early, something powerful happens and it changes everything. They learn how to connect, they start to find their voice, and they begin to feel safe being themselves.

From standing on the edge…to stepping forward with confidence.

This is why I care so deeply about the work I do. Confidence and connection aren’t just 'nice to have'. They shape a child’s future relationships, wellbeing, and sense of belonging.

If you’ve noticed your child holding back socially or struggling with confidence, there are gentle, effective ways to support them.

Get in touch if this resonates or share it because it might just reach a parent who needs it today.

With GCSE exams rapidly approaching and talk of young people locally struggling to access support, I've revised my exam wellbeing workshop and am offering it at a reduced rate to local Year 11's.

The kind folk at Stanley’s Sweets and Treats have offered us an after-school slot once the shop is closed for this.

There are limited spaces and sign-ups must be made in advance. If spaces go fast and there's demand, I'll see whether we can do another one, but for now, I just wanted to offer something accessible to local young people who need some breathing space before their exams.

Good Monday morning to you. How are you doing?

If you're feeling a little lost and confused with life right now, today's quote may serve as reminder that it won't last forever. It's true. At some point in the future, things will become clearer and make more sense than they do right now.

Meanwhile, even if you're having to fake it somewhat, laugh at what's confusing (causes less wrinkles than being angry), plaster on a smile (your brain will believe it's real), and remember that you are stronger than you may give yourself credit for. You truly can get through the muddle.

Here's to a positive week with clarity by the end!
