Sometimes the biggest moments in a child’s development begin with the smallest ones 💙

Building Lego isn’t just about bricks - it’s about problem-solving, creativity, confidence, and spending quality time together.

Don’t have Lego? Can you read a book together, build a blanket fort, or go on a nature hunt instead?

Those little moments really do matter 😍

A big thank you to Cambridge Family Health, a Club-83 member ❤️

We don’t receive any government funding at Cambridge Lifeskills, so we rely on donations from amazing local businesses like these legends.

What is Lifeskills Club 83?

Club 83 is an initiative where businesses or individuals can donate $83 a month, for 12 months (or longer) to help support the counselling of young people in Cambridge.

That’s around the cost of a cup of coffee a day - adding up to $1,000 each year. As a registered charitable trust, donations are eligible for a 33% tax rebate.

Club 83 is all about locals supporting locals.

If you’d like to help make counselling accessible for more Cambridge young people, we’d love to have you join Club 83.

More information can be found on our website 🩷

Thanks again Cambridge Family Health!

Did you know tomorrow is International Youth Day?

This year's theme is: Different Contexts, Common Aspirations 🩷

“Young people around the world live in different realities, yet they share common aspirations for dignity, opportunity, inclusion and a sustainable future. This International Youth Day, we celebrate the diversity, resilience and leadership of young people in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals and building a better world for all.”

We came across this fantastic (and free) way you can celebrate the next generation, and have fun doing it 👇

Ask them to reveal something about their current favourite music selections and listen with them - what a great way to simply spend more time together 🎵

Teamwork makes the dream work 😍

“Kids pitch in more when they feel capable and needed, not ordered around.

And those everyday contributions build responsibility and confidence - skills they'll use long after they leave home.”

Check out this post from Positive Parenting Solutions, which talks about how a small shift in language can turn those power struggles into teamwork and connection 💛

In 2023, Sonia Gray launched this fantastic podcast series, ‘No Such Thing as Normal,’ which explores the world of neurodiversity by presenting many different voices, including experts, clinicians and those with lived experience.

Conversations include the many strengths of these unique brains. And, of course, the numerous challenges that come with trying to fit into a society not built for neurodivergent people 💜

If you’re the parent of a neurodivergent child (diagnosed or not), or suspect you might be yourself, go right back to episode 1 and give this a listen.

No Such Thing as Normal is available wherever you get your podcasts 😊
