As the year comes to a close, routines shift and environments become louder. For many tamariki, especially those who are neurodivergent or living with FASD, this season can feel overwhelming.
Creating calm does not require perfection. Small, intentional changes can support regulation and safety. Mā ngā huringa iti, ka tupu te haumaru.

Simple ways to create calmer spaces:
✨Keep routines as predictable as possible
✨Reduce sensory load where you can
✨ Gently prepare children for changes
✨ Build in quiet time, he wā whakatā
✨ Follow their lead, whakarongo ki te tamaiti

Support is about helping children feel understood and safe.
Calm grows through connection, consistency, and aroha.

Sleep Tip for Lighter Summer Nights 💭💤
As evenings stay brighter, those little minds often take a bit longer to wind down. One gentle trick we love is helping your child “pocket their day into a dreamscape.”
Talk through the day together, choose one calm moment to carry into sleep, and let that become the picture they rest with.
Small rituals. Big impact on settled nights.

Calm Nights for Māmā & Pēpi
❤ Set the Rhythm
Dim the house, soften the noise
Light a gentle scent or open a window for fresh air
Move slowly, your energy sets the tone
❤ Regulate Together
Hold pēpē close and breathe deeply
Hum, sway, or speak softly, connection calms both nervous systems
For māmā: phone down, slow breathing, warm tea or magnesium
❤ Reset for Māmā
Take 60 seconds to unclench shoulders, relax jaw, release breath
Sip water, make a warm drink, or stretch
Do a mini check-in: tinana (body), hinengaro (mind), wairua (spirit), whānau (support)
Those first 12 weeks of motherhood are tough. We’re settling into a new space and our pēpi are finding their way in the world. These three steps are gentle ways to help you settle into the most important role. Save for later and share with a māmā who needs a calm night.

Inside the Dream Palace World ✨ Series coming soon.

Every kid needs a place to escape sometimes. Somewhere quiet, magical and completely their own. The Dream Palace was created for those moments when big feelings arrive and they need a gentle world to settle into.
It’s a cosy little hideaway they can return to whenever they need it.
A place that helps calm their wairua, spark their imagination, and make bedtime or overwhelm feel a little easier.
If you’d like to bring this world into your home, the book is available soon via ourora site. Watch this space for release date.
Ngā mihi for supporting stories that wrap around our tamariki.
