5 Little Questions for Connection
What made you smile today?
Was there anything that felt hard today?
What did your body enjoy today?
Did you need anything today that you didn’t know how to ask for?
What would feel good to do together right now?
Children do not have to answer. Sometimes simply being asked with warmth is enough.

From The Blog
Short reflections on childhood, big feelings, busy bodies and helping children understand themselves.
Why “Calm Down” Isn’t Always the Best Place to Start
When a child is overwhelmed, their body may need something before words or reasoning can help. Sometimes that is movement. Sometimes connection. Sometimes space.
The goal is not to make every feeling disappear.
It is to help children begin recognising what is happening inside them.
What Is Your Child’s Body Trying to Tell You?
Children do not always have the words to say:
“I’m overwhelmed.” “I need movement.” “I need you close.” “I need some space.”
Sometimes the body speaks first.
Children Don’t Have to Know Exactly How They Feel
Sometimes the most honest answer to “How are you feeling?” is:
“I don’t know.”
And that is a perfectly good place to begin.
