Instead of focusing on what they're NOT doing, try asking

"What need is my child trying to meet?"

The magic happens when we meet the need behind the behaviour. 👍👍

Starting school is one of the biggest transitions in a young child’s life and their deep need for certainty means they thrive when they know what to expect. When we create predictability and prepare them well, we help their nervous systems feel safe so they can settle, learn, and grow with confidence.

New sleep Trust pilot review this week.

🌟 Client Love 🌟
I am beyond grateful for kind words like these.

Helping families feel more rested, confident, and supported is what it’s all about. 💛

From weaning the bottle to sleeping through the night, this little one has come so far, and I can’t wait to support them through their next big step: toilet training. 🚽

“Thanks to our sleep consultant, our two-year-old is now sleeping through the night… we're all more rested and happier as a result.”

Building friendship skills for Autistic Children 💙

Had such a meaningful call yesterday with a mum whose autistic son is navigating the world of friendships.

Her boy has such a big heart and genuinely wants to connect with other children, but like many children, he's still learning the back-and-forth of conversation.

He loves to talk (sometimes a lot!) but listening can be tricky.

It's so common for children, especially those on the autism spectrum, to need extra support with social skills.

The desire for friendship is absolutely there, but knowing how to play and interact doesn't always come naturally.

I shared one of my resources from my school course,
my "How to be a Super Friend" cards with this mum,
simple, visual tools that break down friendship skills into manageable steps.

She can print them at home and use them to practice things like:

✨ Trading toys
✨ Stop, think and then do
✨ Go with the flow
✨ And "what if" scenarios through play

These kinds of concrete, visual supports can be game-changers for children who learn differently.
When we give children the tools they need, we're setting them up for meaningful connections.

Every child deserves friendship.

Sometimes they just need a little extra guidance to get there. 😀👍

"Help! My child barely drinks."

🥤 Hydration = Happy Bladders
Is your child drinking enough?

Hydration routines help regulate wee patterns.

When children don't drink enough, their bladder gets used to holding smaller amounts of wee.
This creates a cycle where concentrated wee can cause discomfort, leading to even more reluctance to use the toilet.

The solution? Make hydration FUN.

Check out todays blog for my MAGIC JUG TRICK - the absolute game-changer I share with all my families. This one simple trick has transformed hydration for countless children and parents are always amazed what they find out.

“Toilet Regressions”

Toilet regressions can feel like a step backward, but they’re often a sign of something deeper.

From constipation to emotional stress, there are many reasons your child might suddenly start having wee and poo mistakes again.

In today's blog, I dive into 5 key factors to consider when dealing with a true regression, so you can respond with confidence instead of confusion.

“Failure is necessary for our children to develop.”

Let’s normalise setbacks and support progress. 💛
