This can be liberating and for children who feel quite stuck in anxiety understanding how their brain and bodies work can really help them to manage big feelings

Part 2: Neuroscience from a Play therapy perspective
Understanding our biology can be a really useful way to regulate our own response to dysregulation. By understanding that it is purely instinctive, built-in brain response enables us to see beyond the behaviour and meet our children with more understanding and connection

It can be useful to understand what is happening in our brains when we are having a moment! Kids love this hand model - it kind of takes the scariness out of big emotions or feelings when we know that our body is just trying to protect us!

Halloween can be a tricky time (excuse the pun!) - some simple tips to help support your child..

Lovely book for those of you exploring the area of neurodivergence with your children - lots of excellent illustrations and neuro-affirming language - great place to start these conversations and to start advocating for understanding and education

Stepping back into this space to use my voice for change. Too many other voices from people who are ill-informed, short sighted and quite frankly ignorant of the SCIENCE around neurodivergence. Time to step in and up again to support all children, young people and their families for positive change..
