24.01.2022 ‘Perhaps the reason teens isolate themselves when they're overwhelmed instead of coming to us with their problems, is because when they're toddlers we isolate t...hem when they're overwhelmed instead of helping them with their problems. When our kids are small and trying to manage emotions - they can't express what they are feeling. They throw tantrums, they throw things, they have meltdowns, they scream and they whine. This is their way of communicating with us. They need help to organize, process and express their feelings in a healthy way. And society tells us we should punish them for this. Send them to their room, put them in timeout, spank them. We teach them and train them not to show their emotions. Don't whine. Don't complain. Your feelings are wrong. Be quiet. Eventually they stop expressing their emotions to us because we told them over and over again we didn't want to hear it. For so long they needed to deal with it alone. Alone in their room, their chair, their corner. And then they turn into teenagers and we expect them to feel safe talking to us. We expect them to know that NOW it's okay. They are subconsciously wired to think the opposite because this is what they grew up learning. Give your child permission to feel. Let them know their feelings are valid and that you care, no matter how small. Make sure they know that they are heard. Pretty soon meltdowns over crayons will turn into breakups, heartbreak, sex, or even depression. You want your child to know that you will always hear them, no matter how small. You are their safe space.’ Shared. Written by: Laura Muhl

24.01.2022 Your children are not your children. They are sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you. And though they are wit...h you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts. You may house their bodies but not their souls, For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far. Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He also loves the bow that is stable. Kahlil Gibran Dorothea Sharp - A Summer Stroll.

23.01.2022 Connection and comfort not criticism and control - we ALL need this when we are overwhelmed Thank you for this reminder @North Brisbane Psychologists

22.01.2022 Either we spend time meeting children’s emotional needs by filling their cup with love or we spend the time dealing with the behaviours caused from their unmet needs. Either way we spend the time. Pamela Leo - parent educator

21.01.2022 Check out our 10 tips on how to engage with kids

21.01.2022 When we do not recognise that children are indicating vital unmet needs through their actions, behaviours, symptoms and obsessions, we overlook important inform...ation. The issues and challenges for children, those things that arise as a matter of growth, are not complications, but rather a natural response to the child’s separated self, and thus offer opportunities to distinguish what needs of the child may be unmet. The adult expectation of how children ought to feel and think (based on how we have been taught to feel and think) can now be reconsidered and instead of projecting our feelings and thoughts on children we can gain more respect for the child as a self-directed being. Then, if a child has difficulty with something or someone, or when they experience a challenge in life, we will be less inclined to judge them, or judge ourselves, and more eager to look to see what it means for the child according to them.

19.01.2022 The Foundational Needs Model (FNM), developed by Dr Maxine Therese, is a whole-child needs model that supports human needs from the beginnings. The Foundationa...l Needs closely align with the seven principal Chakras and the themes of each need. Each of the Foundational Needs allows for an interpretation of a physical location in the child’s anatomy, the corresponding thought patterns and psychological aspects, as well as the often-inhibited potentials as they manifest through the child’s behaviours and issues. With the FNM, we can begin to look more impartially at those things that occur in the daily lives of children and help children notice when they have become disconnected from their unified state of being from their soul. When a child has to hide or deny aspects of themselves and how they feel, or believe they have to think about things in ways that please others, it causes incongruence between their feelings and thoughts, and this affects their body and energy system, resulting in the health problems and behavioural issues that are most common in childhood today. The FNM takes us a long way toward the aim of an improved philosophy of the child because it allows us to identify how the child’s unmet needs present in a variety of ways. With this knowledge, we are better equipped to support the child especially when life situations create certain fragmentations to return to a state of balance and wholeness.

04.01.2022 As small children are not as articulate as many adults in verbalising the things they feel, they need attentive support to find the right words and expression. ... Children have questions about the nature of the world, family histories, and things that challenge adult reasoning or verity, so many children are discouraged from questioning too much or verbally expressing their own realities when they are learning to communicate. 'Children should be seen and not heard' still reverberates in many families and schools. It is easy to see then, that sometimes a child will shut down completely from expressing their feelings through language, as it is too difficult for them. Not because language is difficult for a child to learn, but because it is difficult due to the response of the adult who doesn’t agree, cannot support, or does not want to hear the child’s words. Children who are not given the space to communicate their deep-felt feelings, emotions, needs, and insights to the adults in their life, on a day-to-day basis, often shut down from verbal expression. To encourage your child's Need to Speak use welcoming words, support them to voice their truth without judgement, don't speak for them and try not to interrogate them. Have fun with language - encourage 'silly speak', make up your own special words or speak in gibberish, use a talking stick or use dress-up play as a magical way for your child to express themselves. Excerpt from 'A Push for a Child Philosophy - What Children Really Need You to Know' by Dr Maxine Therese, Chapter 5 - Need to Speak - Hear Me.
