It has been a roller coaster of a week with high emotions related to the return of school from both parents and children.
I come across this and I have to admit, I'm a shocker for asking 100 questions as soon as they open the car door.
Kids amaze me with the energy they come home from school with and I guess I just forgot maybe just like me after work they may need a few minutes to decompress first.

FYI this is a great book series for children with emotional regulation struggles, written by a kiwi mum too.

I am trying to get better at not asking 100 questions after my kids attend anything. Sometimes, and especially for kids at school, they need time to decompress from the day before being able to engage fully again. Talk to them about what they need after school to help them relax and recharge and then make a time to connect about the day.
We love to do this at dinnertime. We enjoy a family meal every night, no phones or tv, just background music. Our family dinner is a special time for connection when we are all together and something I cherish. Bex

Our Tuesday game of Pathfinder has a few open seats! We are currently playing Curse of Strahd (Pathfinder style) which has slightly spooky vibe and includes creatures like vampires and werewolves. We are not very far from the start, so new players would be very welcome~

We play 1-3pm every Tuesday afternoon, so feel free to come on down and make a character with us, and don't hesitate to message the page with any questions!

Noho ora mai!

When experiencing an anxiety attack, it’s easy to become confused and even scared.
Anxiety can display in physical symptoms.
Digging deep and learning about your own triggers and early warning signs can help minimise anxiety in day to day life.
However, we may still experience moments that feel beyond our control.
Here are some great grounding techniques for those moments.
