One hundred percent this 💚

I get it, it isn’t always easy, when they have done something to disappoint us, hurt us or make us utterly furious. But even if we let our emotions get the better of us in the moment (we are all human, it happens!) When things are calmer it is so important to reassure them, talk, understand, and above all listen. 💚

❤️ this so much!

It’s such a difficult time, I know I’m not the only adult struggling to absorb the news. Then I remember all my clients this week who have expressed anxiety and concern about what they have over heard or worse still the inaccurate conversations between their peers.

It’s hard to have conversations about tough subjects with our kids, but if they ask a question we owe them an honest age appropriate answer. As always remember to normalise any feelings they have as well.

Stay safe. 💚

Ahhhhh Half term is here, this evening I will be putting my feet up and having a glass or two of Pepsi Max as I have an early start and busy day tomorrow. But I put it in a wine glass so I can fool my brain that it’s something stronger!

A huge hug of solidarity to everyone carrying a heavy load right now especially those working in schools and health care right now. I have experienced a massive increase in grief work and it shows no sign of easing soon.

Remember the importance of self care and find a little time to do what recharges your batteries 💚

Child or adult, our behaviours are always born out of a feeling or emotion. As adults we often get to brush our behaviour off, but it’s not like that for children. On top of struggling with something that is painful, upsetting, scary or overwhelming they get judged for how they try to communicate it and worse still punished for trying to express it the only way they can manage in that moment.

The most powerful thought shift I ever learnt both professionally and as a parent was changing from an authoritarian and shaming “Stop doing that!” to a curious and nurturing “Why are you doing that?”

There is no such thing as a ‘naughty child’.

But it’s tricky trying to work out exactly what the ‘challenging’ behaviour means. Which is why we are delighted to present a webinar on this very topic in early years.

Presented by our early years SEND experts Kelly & Charlotte, we will cover a lot within 2 hours and ticket holders will be sent the recording.
