25.01.2022 How to use positive reinforcement and build confidence by using simple statements.

24.01.2022 Social media tries to convince our kids that friendship is about numbers. BIG numbers. But I’ll take a small tribe of loyal friends every day of the week. As ...Dr Vivek Murthy says: you can have friends but are you actually experiencing friendship? Friendship is about showing up. Being able to have real conversations. Being accepted for who you are. Loyalty. And honesty. See more

23.01.2022 Starting preschool should be a huge decision, not just an automatic response to the prescribed age. If in doubt seek professional advice (either developmental psychologist, occupational therapist or speech therapist). Intelligence isn’t a baseline for success. Rather, social emotional readiness, adequate language, toilet trained, and motor skill development should ALL be considered.

21.01.2022 You are Enough! Say that again! You are Enough

20.01.2022 Presence can be virtual or in person, but remember no gifts can trump the connection we share with loved ones. As Thich Nhat Hanh states, "The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence" -

18.01.2022 Coming up to the silly season, we start to see cracks appear in those who are vulnerable. There is a lot of information about how to take care of yourself at ...this time to help you focus on what is important. But what can we do if we see others struggle? Firstly, always put on your own ‘oxygen mask’. Helping others is pointless if you don’t have enough resources to then help yourself! Secondly, once your ‘oxygen tank’ is full, check in on those you know are vulnerable. These people may be someone you know is lonely, they may have lost a loved one this year, or this time of year in the past, they may have had a relationship breakdown, or not have custody of their kids over Christmas. They may be in a conflictual relationship...... We generally can identify those higher risk, but often we don’t know how to help. Tip 1: Without making a fuss, ask them to join in with a dinner, or drinks, or a day trip. Tip 2: Listen. The need to just talk is often powerful. You don’t need to have any answers. Just ears. Tip 3: Make plans in a day, or a week from now so they have something they commit to and can look forward to. Tip 4: Talk openly about gifts (no gifts, or small gift only) so there is no ambiguity to make them feel embarrassed. Tip 5: Ring, or drop in with a meal or a snack just to check on them. Tip 6: Don’t burden them with your stressors. You deserve the opportunity to download too, but be mindful of who you do this with. If someone is already in a dark place, feeling incapable of helping the one person reaching out to them may make them feel worse, not better. Tip 7: Gifts from the heart, not from the wallet, have the greatest impact on someone’s life See more

07.01.2022 Choose kindness #peacefulmindpeacefullife

07.01.2022 Accepting what we cannot change is one of the greatest challenges for our mental well-being. When we start asking ourselves what we have power over, we learn it is only our own behaviour, and no one else’s. Accepting this simple fact often involves grief, anxiety or sadness, but eventually leads to peace of mind
