I see a lot of children exploring paint and producing art like on the left each and everyone loves their painting, it’s a freeing activity! Please don’t be afraid to let your children create mess. At times life is messy!

Absolutely!

I despise the term attention-seeking and I’m constantly baffled when a parent or carer says something along the lines of they’re attention seeing so I just ignore it. 🤦‍♀️ connection seeking just makes more sense to describe what is really happening. ☺️

This is powerful 🙏🙏🙏

Professionals/carers are often shocked that I allow gun play play therapy, sadly guns are very prominent in our reality, so they also have a place in the therapeutic process.

When you stop focussing on the behaviour and really see the child your mindset and approach will change.

👉Co-regulation: https://www.theottoolbox.com/co-regulation/

👉Co-regulation is the ability to regulate emotions and behaviors to soothe and manage stressing internal sensory input or external situations, with the support and direction of a connecting individual.

👉Co-regulation is nurturing connection of another individual that supports regulation needs through the use of strategies, tools, and calming techniques in order to self-soothe or respond in times of stress.

👉Co-regulation and self-regulation are part of the developmental process.

We are all a collection of stories, yet we judge so quickly. We forget that the little boy screaming has not seen his mom for a week, that the teen girl who was shoplifting has not had a proper meal in a week, and that the dad who is yelling at the park has just lost his job.

Soft hearts. Lest raise a generation of children who have soft hearts. Th soft heart begins with you, it’s highly contagious.

One of the things I miss most about not having young children anymore is reading stories to them. Weirdly my teens are not into sitting onmy knee and sharing a story. 😂😂
