24.01.2022 Maybe you've noticed you've been preoccupied feeling like you have lots of browser tabs open, not sleeping well, feeling dysregulated? Our own inner experience can impact on our capacity we have to help our kids cope with their big feelings. The regulation systems of children of all ages are still developing and they need us to co-regulate. We are their safe place, their constant, their home. While a lot of our usual ways of regulating ourselves might be off limits at the moment, we need to be creative and find new ways to regulate. http://www.nurtureandbloompsychology.com.au/when-we-feel-o/

23.01.2022 Do you know 1 in 10 new dads experience perinatal depression or anxiety in Australia? Becoming a parent is a big adjustment. Check in with any dads you know to see how they’re going. Nurture & Bloom Psychology is proud to support dads and mums through the perinatal period.

23.01.2022 Imagining what life will be like for a baby when they arrive is part of our human biology and psychological development. The reality for many new parents is so different now to the one they imagined.

21.01.2022 A beautiful framework for expectant mums in this unexpected time

20.01.2022 Life with a new baby is tough. No matter how many books you've read (or just bought and attempted to read!) nothing can fully prepare you for the rollercoaster ride of parenthood. Sometimes we might just need to reach out to our friends and family for support, at other times we might need to talk to a trusted professional. What ever stage of the journey you're on, there is someone out there that is right for you.

13.01.2022 Birth is rarely exactly as we planned and expected. We can often be left with lots of questions and feelings about our birth and not know where to bring these. I’ve teamed up with Beaches Baby Freshwater to help you get started on unraveling some of these questions and feelings.

12.01.2022 I myself feel some relief that things are transitioning back to normal and another part of me is in grief over leaving the safe cocoon we created. Experiencing one or both is ok. The Australian Childhood Foundation has some Amazing resources. This little pdf can be printed to share with your little ones about the treasures your family may have found during your time together.

09.01.2022 I love some of the phrases in this post. Sometimes the words that automatically come out of our mouth when we're parenting are not the words that we expected ourselves to use! Thinking about alternatives, reading them, even saying them out loud to practice helps strengthen the likelihood we will be able to use them in the moment.

08.01.2022 We are living in a new time one that we will one day look back on as history but right now is our lived reality. Today I want you to consider how some intentional, one-to-one playtime with your little one might help them feel more settled as we navigate these unchartered waters. Due to restrictions around work, school and leisure options, we are facing much more time together under one roof. We are all managing the best we can, just getting through it. Perhaps this time to...gether might also give us an opportunity to relish our little ones. Play is the natural language of children. They don’t say, Hey Mum, I’m really struggling with all the change and bad news at the moment, they say Play with me! It is through their play they find safety, connection and a space to be heard. There is so much unpredictability in the world, but if we can offer some predictability, some regular time to tune into them and fill their cup, our whole family can be enriched. Special time will also be good for our soul as we will need to tune out of the external chatter and tune into our little person’s world. It also gives your child control how often does that happen, especially now?

07.01.2022 My daughter and I recently had to have covid tests. Thankfully we were both cleared. As a grown up I found the experience uncomfortable, and I can’t imagine what it was like for a little person. She did so well....! I love a social story to help prepare kids for medical procedures, starting a new school or school, moving house, new baby etc. I came up with this with the hope other people might have a smoother time with their covid testing if they know what to expect. It’s no...t perfect, but if it helps one little person I feel it was worth it...! It’s not meant to replace medical advice, merely to help the testing go as smooth as possible. Feel free to share.

06.01.2022 Did you know that up to 1 in 10 women suffer depression during pregnancy and up to 1 in 7 experience postnatal depression? You are not alone- talk to a friend, a family member or a trusted health professional

05.01.2022 We can often feel the pull between wanting to protect our little one from every imaginable hurt, but also wanting to prepare them for the real world. The idea of balancing soft and hard experiences for them is a lovely way of thinking about this task.

05.01.2022 Another great social story...! This time from the Australian Childhood foundation.

02.01.2022 Excited to be partnering with Beaches Baby for this Processing Your Birth Experience workshop in a couple of weeks. An opportunity to share part of your experience in a supportive environment and walk away with some tools on how to continue with your healing journey.

02.01.2022 More to celebrate Infant Mental Health Awareness Week.

01.01.2022 The balance between tidying, working, playing with the kids or even having a well deserved cup of tea can be a real juggle...! My lounge was a particular disaster area today and just did a big tidy, but I know my kids had a great time playing and creating.
