23.01.2022 Parenting can be challenging and children speak to us through their behaviour. Knowing how to effectively discipline and connect to our children when they are misbehaving is key. Dr Justin Coulson (who specialises in parenting and raising kids) is offering a free parenting seminar called: Positive ways to help children behave on Wednesday 6th November at Adelaide Convention Centre from 7-9pm. To register email health.parenting.sa.gov.au or go to http://parentingsa.eventbrite.com.au or call 8303 1660. Image via: The Gottman Institute

22.01.2022 See below for FREE live streaming of speakers on Autism related topics during Autism Awareness Week (1-5 April). Looks both interesting and informative.

19.01.2022 Letting you know that today is World Autism Awareness Day! Today we acknowledge and help to build and increase people's understanding of Autism.

18.01.2022 Social skills are so important! Children need adult role modelling and direction when learning social skills throughout childhood development. Here is a nice visual of key social skills that children need to develop. (Image via Pathway 2 Success).

16.01.2022 Children are more likely to copy your actions than just follow your words. (Reference: W.E.B Du Bois; Image: Positive Parenting Connection).

15.01.2022 Encourage your child to play. Our lives today are so busy and often our schedules leave little time for children's imaginative play. Your child needs play for their development - social, emotional, motor and sensory development. Find ways to encourage your child to renew their sense of wonder and creativity today. Find the time and space to allow exploration and play.

13.01.2022 Wishing all children (and their parents) a smooth transition back to school this week...especially the first morning back!

13.01.2022 Today is R U OK? Day. Please have a think about who you can reach out to. It can make all the difference.

07.01.2022 All children want is to be loved and accepted for who they are and to grow from that place of acceptance. (Source: One Grateful Girl).

06.01.2022 Today is International Day of People with Disability. Thank you ABC Kids for this post

04.01.2022 Love this quote (Reference: Faith & Grace).

04.01.2022 So true... there is not one perfect way to parent that works well for ALL children. Parenting approaches need to vary based on a child's temperament, stage of development and needs. Even parents with 2 or more children often have to adjust their parenting response to the needs and personalities of each child in the family. (Reference: myhousefullofboys).

02.01.2022 A friendly reminder to be gentle with yourself on this parenting journey. You can't be perfect and do everything "right" all the time. We are all learning and making adjustments along the way. Be kind to yourself. (Reference: by Anna Vital).

02.01.2022 As the famous writer (and recently departed), Toni Morrison, is quoted saying, " When a child walks in the room, your child or anybody else's child, do your eyes light up? That's what they're looking for". Something to ponder and reflect upon...thanks Dr Justin Coulson for the reminder.
