Hey friends — we’re kicking off a new 10-day LiveWell Coaching challenge this Monday, March 16th: The Expectation Gap.

So much anxiety, depression, and relational tension isn’t just about what happened; it’s about the gap between what we expected and what we experienced. Over 10 days, we’ll work through expectation gaps with self and with others, with simple, practical steps you can actually use.

If you’re feeling stressed, stuck, disappointed, or emotionally drained… this is for you.

Attachment is one of the most powerful forces shaping a child’s emotional world — yet it’s also one of the most misunderstood.

Over the coming weeks, I’m starting a new series exploring attachment and how it influences children’s behaviour, emotions, and relationships.

Because when we understand attachment, we begin to see children differently.

What can sometimes look like defiance, clinginess, big emotions, or constant reassurance-seeking is often a child asking a deeper question:

“Am I safe with you?”

In this series we’ll explore:

What attachment really means for children’s development
Why children often show their biggest feelings with the people they trust most
The different attachment patterns and how they can shape behaviour
How connection and repair strengthen a child’s sense of safety
Why attachment is not about perfect parenting

Most importantly, we’ll look at how everyday moments of connection help children build the emotional foundation they will carry with them for life.

Because attachment is not about getting everything right.

It’s about building a relationship where a child knows they are safe, understood, and supported.

Save this post if attachment is something you’d like to understand more about.

And if there’s a question about attachment you’ve always wondered about, share it in the comments — it might appear in the series.

It's so true! How many times have you found moods and attitudes reset after a dose of outdoor play?

When the kids are bouncing off the walls, when tongues get sharp and siblings get testy, do yourself (and them) a favor, and head outside! You might just be surprised at how quickly they reset.

Big feelings in little bodies aren’t manipulation they’re overwhelmed.

When we respond with calm instead of punishment, we teach regulation, not fear.
Connection first. Correction later. 🤍






Dysregulation
CoRegulation

Great list of ideas to add to an IEP, for a child with executive functioning struggles. Remember, if there's not a goal for it, you likely won't see a support or intervention for it!
