20.01.2022 Love Languages for Kids - Words of Affirmation Love is an abstract term and young children are very concrete. This does not change until children are in the later stages of primary school so it is important to think about he different ways that your words can impact a child. ‘Words of Affirmation’ is not just about saying the words I love you but also includes any words of affection, endearment, praise, encouragement, validation and positive reinforcement. How does yo...ur little one respond to your words of affirmation? Would this be their love language? #love #lovelanguage #words #wordsofaffirmation #lovelanguagesofchileren #selfcare #rest #relaxation #takeitslow #selfcareisessential #selfcareday #selfcare101 #selfcareforkids #nurturing #selfcareforchildren #parenting #psychology #mums #motherhood #love #healthychildren #selfcareforadults #selfcareforkids #psychologist #feelings #goldcoast #brisbane #supportingkids #supportingparents See more

19.01.2022 Love Languages for Kids - Acts of Service The ultimate purpose of Acts of Service to children is to help them emerge as mature adults who are capable to give love to themselves AND others.By your examples, children first experience loving acts of service.This is because being a parent is all about providing a service to a child. You prepare and cook food, buy uniforms, transport to multiple extracurricular activities, take them to appointments and t...he list goes on and on...And you do all this because you have to.This is the loving and caring role of the parent.When children have an assurance of being genuinely loved and cared for, they are able to appreciate when food is prepared for them, when you helpthem with their assignments, do their laundry, or teach them to ride a bike. When you canrecognise and respond to their requests, and give help in a loving way, the child leaves with afull love tank When you provide an act of service for your child it is done so willingly. It is a service and not slavery.If your child’s primary Love Language is Acts of Service, it does not mean you should jump at every request by your child (or your partner for that matter). But help make experiences of giving unconditionally. The more that kids are gently coached to do these things whilst knowing that you are there to support them, is where they develop a secure sense of themselves, as well as skills inempathy and giving. #love #lovelanguage #lovelanguagesofchileren #selfcare #rest #relaxation #takeitslow #selfcareisessential #selfcareday #selfcare101 #selfcareforkids #nurturing #selfcareforchildren #parenting #psychology #mums #motherhood #love #healthychildren #selfcareforadults #selfcareforkids #psychologist #feelings #goldcoast #brisbane #supportingkids #supportingparents See more

19.01.2022 Boundaries...a concept many people find hard to implement into their lives. Boundaries are so important for healthy relationships. Yet unfortunately, many people often find that their own boundaries have not been respected by others. Here is a list of a few ‘vows’ you can make to yourself when putting into practice boundaries. Can you think of any others? #selfcare #boundaries #healthyboundaries #relationships #healthyrelationships #relaxation #takeitslow #selfcareisessential #selfcareday #selfcare101 #selfcareforkids #nurturing #selfcareforchildren #parenting #psychology #mums #motherhood #love #healthychildren #selfcareforadults #selfcareforkids #psychologist #feelings #goldcoast #brisbane #supportingkids #supportingparents

18.01.2022 Self-care is just as important for little ones as it is for us adults ‘Self-care for kids’ is the first book published in Australia dedicated to teaching children about the importance of self-care. It talks about how busy kids can be and ways that they are able to practice self-care. It can also be enjoyed by adults because let’s face it, we could all use a reminder of how to look after ourselves!

17.01.2022 FEELINGS ACTIVITY - HOME OR THE CLASSROOM What does your body feel like when you are scared? Does your child know what theirs feels like? Being able to identify scared feelings inside is such an important step in learning how to manage them. In fact, it’s one of the first! And this goes for little munchkins too. This book by Trace Moroney is great for teaching kids about scared body signals. Any children’s books about feelings are a great way for ...kids to explore their own emotions and learn that all feelings are normal. Children engage well with drawing their feelings and I frequently ask them to draw, colour, create etc., how they are feeling #feelings #emotions #kidsfeelings #kidsemotions #kidsactivities #childrensbooks #childrensbookillustration #illustrator #activitiesforchildren #coronavirus #selfcare #parenting #selfcareforkids #selfcareforchildren #kidswellbeing #healthychildren #psychology #psychologist #goldcoast #goldcoastpsychology #australia See more

13.01.2022 In a child’s heart, parents are safe spaces for children to be able to express their true feelings, thoughts and ideas. Having a nurturing, caring and present parent is one of, if not the greatest way to help children feel supported, worthy and resilient #selfcare #selfcareforkids #childrensbook #childrensbookillustration #books #bookstagram #booklover #authorsofinstagram #rest #relaxation #takeitslow #selfcareisessential #selfcareday #selfcare101 #selfcareforkids #nurturing #selfcareforchildren #parenting #psychology #mums #motherhood #love #healthychildren #selfcareforadults #selfcareforkids #psychologist #feelings #goldcoast #brisbane #supportingkids #supportingparents

13.01.2022 Social self-care involves meaningful activities that nurture and deepen one’s relationships with important people in their life. For kids, this can include catching up with friends, spending time with beloved pets and implementing important boundaries to maintain healthy relationships. A great way parents can support their child’s social self-care is to discuss with them who they think is in their support system. Helping kids to be able to identify who is in their corner in t...imes of need is one of the first steps in helping them reach out for help from others and establish connections when needed.

06.01.2022 Psychological self-care (or otherwise known as emotional self-care) involves deliberate activities that declutter the mind and reduce feelings of stress and anxiety. For kids, this can include relaxation practices such as meditation and mindfulness, reading enjoyable books unrelated to study/school, and practicing gratitude and appreciation. Encouraging children to express their worries, fears or uncertainties through creative ways is also another great way that parents and e...ducators can support children’s psychological self-care. Does your child practice psychological self-care? Are there simple ways that their psychological self-care could be more supported? #selfcare #anxiety #psychological #anxiouskids #anxiousxcchildren #rest #relaxation #takeitslow #selfcareisessential #selfcareday #selfcare101 #selfcareforkids #nurturing #selfcareforchildren #parenting #psychology #mums #motherhood #love #healthychildren #selfcareforadults #selfcareforkids #psychologist #feelings #goldcoast #brisbane #supportingkids #supportingparents See more

05.01.2022 Spiritual self-care involves meaningful activities that nurture a sense of connection and create deeper meaning in peoples lives. For kids, this can include practicing meditation, spending time alone or engaging in community causes and charities. One thing I loved about the previous school I worked at was how the teachers implemented signing meditation in the classroom after lunch time. What a great way to help kids centre themselves as well as cool down after running around!... How is your child’s spiritual self-care? Are there simple ways that their spiritual self-care could be more supported at home or at school? #selfcare #spiritual #spirituality #spiritualselfcare #classroom #anxiety #anxiouskids #anxiousxcchildren #rest #relaxation #takeitslow #selfcareisessential #selfcareday #selfcare101 #selfcareforkids #nurturing #selfcareforchildren #parenting #psychology #mums #motherhood #love #healthychildren #selfcareforadults #selfcareforkids #psychologist #feelings #goldcoast #brisbane #supportingkids #supportingparents See more

05.01.2022 Teaching children about gratitude is such an important concept in a time of instant gratification, entitlement and overindulgence. Yup we have all seen it around! Gratitude is such a great practice for little minds. Why? Because it is one of the healthiest feelings people can experience and it is one of the easiest ways to feel happy But how do parents or educators teach children about such an abstract skill? Particularly when children are so concrete? I have been using the...se gratitude cards from @kikki.k and they have been great at helping children find things that they are grateful. There are so many different topics and ideas to reflect on and kids also love hearing the ideas that us adults come up with! Does your little one practice gratitude? If so, how? #selfcare #gratitude #grateful #gratitudepractice #anxiousxcchildren #rest #relaxation #takeitslow #selfcareisessential #selfcareday #selfcare101 #selfcareforkids #nurturing #selfcareforchildren #parenting #psychology #mums #motherhood #love #healthychildren #selfcareforadults #selfcareforkids #psychologist #feelings #goldcoast #brisbane #supportingkids #supportingparents
