Every behaviour is a communication

I’m a firm believer that every behaviour that a child displays is their way of communicating. Whether they are pulling at you while you talk to a neighbour, crying at the school gates, waking up during the night.. are trying to express something.
You may think..’why can’t they use their words’. To that I say “why should they”.
Verbal communication is not the first thing that comes to mind for a child when they want to get their point across. And of course it’s not. They have been saying what they have needed to say without words for their entire lives. Even in the womb they could tell you what they wanted (it’s not me who wants pizza for breakfast, it’s the baby 😉). They told us when they wanted milk, a fresh nappy, sleep. They tell us when they don’t like the food on their plate or the clothes you picked out for them and that they love us.

So are you listening? Are you trying to decode what they are trying to express?
Instead of suggested to your child that they ‘use their words’ try saying “it’s looks like you’re trying to tell me something and I’m trying my best to understand”.

I am here for the child

I am the extremely lucky person that gets to spend time with your child, earn their trust and to be allowed into their inner worlds. Each time I am given this privilege I am whole heartedly grateful.
I must in turn use this wisely, carefully and in the best interest of that child.

I get to experience their stories, their play, their art and I get to use what I have found as a way to help that child. Often this cannot be explained in words by a child, so I must interpret it.
I can relay information to their parents, so that they might understand how that child is feeling, and then come up with a plan to help support them.

I am here for the child…I am here for whatever they need to express and work through. I will hold their hand through this process. I will keep them safe and support them through the difficult parts. 🇮🇪

I recorded a podcast

A few weeks ago a recorded a podcast.
This is slightly different from the previous podcasts I did as it is aimed at parents and teachers, as opposed to therapists.

In the podcast we dive into what Art Therapy is and how it can be used. If you’re curious about Art Therapy and want to learn a little more about it then this is the perfect listen for you.

I hope that you get something from it 🎧. Check out the link to listen 🎨
