21.01.2022 Isn't this just so true for all of us?

18.01.2022 To all the wonderful carers and support workers that we met this weekend, THANK YOU for all that you do! CONGRATULATIONS, also, to Maryanne Hobby who won the crossword competition www.itsajungle.com #stayoutofthejungle #fostercare

15.01.2022 If you’re tempted to enter the JUNGLE, please rememberthe JUNGLE causes stress, you’re going down to their level and there’s a chance they do it better than you! The JUNGLE doesn’t teach them self control. It doesn’t teach them to respect you. It just teaches them to get better at JUNGLE! https://www.itsajungle.com/about-the-book #stayoutofthejungle

15.01.2022 It's true. It's a phase. Good news is that they do grow out of it. The hardest part is to #stayoutofthejungle in the meantime! Keep on loving them. They need you.

15.01.2022 Can you pick that moment, when the emotion overwhelms them? They cross the line and enter the JUNGLE! #stayoutofthejungle #parenting For more info, see our book It's a Jungle - A Parent's Guide to Emotions and Behaviour available at www.itsajungle.com

13.01.2022 Rule-Consequence-Fresh Start makes so much sense! Referees know this and now parents do too. When a rule is broken, we need a fast and fair way to get past it. For more #parenting strategies, buy the book It's a Jungle - A Parent's Guide to Emotions and Behaviour at www.itsajungle.com #stayoutofthejungle

11.01.2022 TEACHERS ARE AWESOME! #stayoutofthejungle www.itsajungle.com

09.01.2022 FREE EVENT Dr Heyworth will be talking about strategies for parents at Gympie South State School Hall on Tues 31st Oct (6-7.30pm). Gympie South SS and Jones Hill SS have combined forces to make it all happen and they've been so kind to open the invitation to parents of school children from the surrounding areas as well. Thanks guys. What a great way to spread the #stayoutofthejungle message. No need to RSVP. We'll see you there!

09.01.2022 First days can bring on the anxiety in all of us. Hope your day is turning out to be lovely! Can I also pass on a BIG thank you to the wonderful staff at St Thomas More Primary School Sunshine Beach who made me feel so welcome when we met last Friday for Professional Development about anxiety. It’s definitely the topic of the day today. I’m really looking forward to coming back in week 3 and 4 to meet with parents. See you then!!!

09.01.2022 L.R.Knost always says it so beautifully #stayoutofthejungle

08.01.2022 Really enjoyed getting together to talk about BAD BEHAVIOUR yesterday! Not the kind of topic that sounds fun, but a sense of humour definitely helps. Thank you to staff from Gympie South State School and Jones Hill State School for all the work that you do helping our little monkeys grow and learn about the line. Thank you also for the time you gave yesterday. 90 teachers and aides dedicating a whole day to understanding the emotional world of children...you're awesome! #stayoutofthejungle

07.01.2022 It's when they need us most. #stayoutofthejungle Fresh start...Want a hug?

06.01.2022 At the line? Take some TIME and SPACE...It's a wonderful thing.

06.01.2022 Beautifully summed up by Kelly Bartlett, "feelings are okay, mistakes are fixable and there's nothing they can do that would push you away..." #parenting #stayoutofthejungle www.itsajungle.com

06.01.2022 When emotions get too big to handle, our little monkeys don't know what to do. They cross the line and enter THE JUNGLE. Can you pick that moment when the emotion overwhelms them. #stayoutofthejungle www.itsajungle.com

06.01.2022 Really love L.R Knost's take on these things! It's always so HUMAN! We're all human, we all make mistakes. We cross the line, but what's important is that 1) we try not to and 2)we have a way to deal with it if we do. Hugs and a #freshstart are the stuff of life. They help us move on from mistakes and reconnect with the people we love. #stayoutofthejungle www.itsajungle.com

06.01.2022 We might be surprised by how our children see us...

05.01.2022 Looking forward to our next 'It's a Jungle' workshop this Friday for foster carers and support workers at IFYS Foster Care Maroochydore. To everyone who opens up their heart and their home to fostering children, thank you for all that you do #fostercare #stayoutofthejungle www.itsajungle.com

05.01.2022 Because tears come when the emotions are too big and that's exactly when they need us to understand.
