Looking for easy ways to get more veg into your child’s meals?🥦🍅🥕

I’ve created four superfood sauce recipes that are packed with hidden veggies — perfect for fussy eaters and a total win for busy parents.

By blending the veg straight into the sauce, there’s no picking out and no negotiating — just flavour, nutrients, and clean plates (most of the time!).

They’re quick to make, freezer-friendly, and super versatile:

✔️ Stir through pasta or rice
✔️ Spread on toast or wraps
✔️ Use as a base for bakes or dips

If you’ve got a veggie-dodger at home, these sauces are your new secret weapon. Find all the recipes over on my app! Start your 7-day free trial today.

From bottles to broccoli! 🥦🍼
Visualizing the "Gradual Plate" helps take the guesswork out of mealtime. This progression shows the shift from smooth rice cereal to mixed berry mashes, and finally to those adorable mini cheese cubes and turkey meatballs. It’s all about building confidence (and motor skills!) one bite at a time.

"For a survivor of trauma, the amygdala has an increase of size and activity. This puts you in a constant state of hypervigilance. It has been conditioned to believe that you are always in danger, so it now perceives stimuli in the environment inaccurately as life-threatening, even though you're safe.

"Your body's stress response systems remain active and alert, and your body is unable to return to a calm state of homeostasis.

"This can be the cause of many of the physical symptoms associated with trauma survivors, such as hormone imbalances, insomnia, chronic pain, fatigue, heart health issues, inflammation, and more." .anonymous

One of the most powerful things we can do as parents, teachers, or care providers is collect our children.

Collecting is the act of gathering them to us in relationship. It might be getting down to their level, using a warm voice, making eye contact, sharing a smile, or inviting them close. In those small moments we remind them:
You belong with me.
You matter to me.
I am here for you.

When children feel collected, their attachment instincts come alive. They feel seen and known, and they are much more likely to follow our lead.

Sometimes we collect simply to nurture the relationship. Other times we collect before transitions, before asking something of them, before difficult conversations, or after things have gone sideways between us.

It isn’t about techniques or strategies. It’s about relationship leading the way.
These are 10 everyday moments when collecting our kids can make all the difference.
Because when children feel gathered to us, they remember where they belong.
And from there, we can guide them forward.
