This morning I had an extra special visitor...a client brought in their pet Stick Insect to visit me! She was so inquisitive and wanted to explore the room. My friend tells me she eats eucalyptus leaves which she gets fresh a few times each week and she needs water sprayed into her enclosure for her to drink. At home they have 14 eggs which can take between 4 months and 2 years to hatch!! Females can birth females without a boy stick insect! Wow😳So cool.

The question isn’t why do they keep doing this to get attention. The question is what are they trying to tell us they need.

Attention isn’t a luxury.
It’s not a manipulation.
It’s one of the most fundamental human needs - to be seen, to matter, to have someone stay.

A child who seeks it loudly, persistently, in ways that exhaust us - that child is not trying to be difficult.

They are being honest about something that feels to big to hide.

The behaviour is the only language they have available in the moment to ask for what they need.

‘I need you.’
‘See me.’
‘Hear me.’
‘Understand me.’
‘Stay with me.’

The answer is simpler than we think.❤️

A great piece discussing the day to day challenges of parenting children with disabilities.

Regional families are anxiously waiting to see the impact of recently announced changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), especially for those with autism.

Children use play to make sense of the world 🌎 around them…to make sense of things going on in their lives. This is meaningful and not insignificant play. It’s how children speak the unspeakable 😶 This is a time for children to release emotions, learn and develop regulation, test limits and control and rehearse safety and connection. The sand tray is a great opportunity for this expression. However, it’s not my job to interpret what the child sees, rather to notice themes like safety, protection, care, nurture, chaos vs order, etc. I am a silent witness to their ordering and internal sense making.
I loved how my little friend used the sand tray recently over two sessions. They are such a brave and resilient kiddo and an absolute superstar ⭐️ They wanted me to share their sand trays with you all 😄 Let me know what you think?

Children are not here to hold our emotions, they’re here to be held through them.

When we take responsibility for how we feel, we give our kids the freedom to just be kids… not caretakers of our moods.

This is where the cycle shifts.
This is where safety begins.
