2023 - let’s start as we mean to go on…KIND!

Kind words delivered inside our homes 💛🏡. This Christmas I was struck by the moments people chose to use their platform to share kind words 🤗. I finished 2022, possibly like many of you, a little bit overfull of horrid news stories, or acts of unkindness I heard about in the wider world or experienced in my own smaller world. It felt like my world needed to become really small to make it kind again. But there were a number of moments over the festive season that helped me

World Mental Health Day 2022

Today is World Mental Health Day 🌍💚*. In a climate of growing social and economic inequalities, it can be difficult to believe a single action by an individual will have any impact ❤️‍🩹. At The Worry Wizard, we are building a magical team of people who believe that if, by what you say or do, you help 1 person’s mental health and Wellbeing, your work is done. Well, almost 😘! But, maybe, today, we can all hold this thought: Today, I am going to positively impact 1 person’s

On our story today, you will see an assembly they gave sharing all their thoughts on what being a Wellbeing Shine Champion mean

"Boys Don't Cry."

I was so naïve when I first became a Mum to my boys 💙. I thought this phrase was no longer relevant. I imagined no one thought this way anymore. How wrong I was ❌. Recently, one of my boys badly broke his finger. Many hours spent in A & E 🏥 and, whilst there, 3 different medical professional told him, “Don’t cry, you’re fine.” Twice when his broken finger needed to be manipulated and once when he was told that sport - his passion - was completely off the cards for 12 weeks

Be a Lighthouse 💡

I met ‘a lighthouse’ in a school I visited recently 💡. We are being funded to visit primary schools in Tameside and Glossop to run Worry Wizard sessions 🏫. We are having lots of fun 🤩. After one session, a student came up to me. “Can I say something to you, miss?” she said. “Of course,” I replied. “I just want to say that when I grow up, I want to be just like you. I know I am not grown up yet so I’m going to just try to be a little like you for now.” ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💝 My h

The Limits of a Child's World 🌎

"Having access to the right words changes everything." Brené Brown 💚🌎. When your child is struggling, and you’re trying to help them, their ability to communicate their needs to you is critical 💞. There are so many words to learn 🔡. I know it can be painful to hear your child say certain words. I have sat with many parents who have told their child not to use particular words to explain their emotional world 💚🌎. I feel differently. We don’t want our children’s ability t

When a Mistake Feels the End of the World 🌎…

Is this how you feel 🌍💫? This brilliant illustration by @thecalmclassroom made me stop, pause and exhale. For this is absolutely NOT how I feel when I make a mistake. I know the same is true for many of the children I sit with 💚. This wonderful image offers a great starting point for you to share a chat with your child 💬💙. Together, you can wonder about: 💬💙Is this how you feel when you make a mistake? If not, how do you feel? 💬💙What types of things do you say to y

This anti bullying week the focus is #OneKindWord. I’d like to stretch that a little bit and make it three? Just 🐝 you You in all your you-ness 🥰. I know this isn’t always easy. When you are being bullied (or have been), it is so hard not to ask, “What is wrong with me?” And then try to change you. I want you to know this. There’s NOTHING wrong with you. The bully (or bullies) need support with THEIR behaviour. This isn’t about you. Hold tight. And remember, Just 🐝 you �
