I’m Not Sure 100% Perfect is Possible or Even Desirable...

I don’t know how it seems to other people but I increasingly feel there is a sense that you could and should be a perfect parent. I certainly feel that pressure. If I see any article that starts with words such as, “10 things you must do to make sure your child is happy” I instantly read it and judge myself against the list. Then I wait a moment. And remind myself to breathe. And, having done this, I work hard to remind myself that I am human. And that, sometimes, being

♥️Always Remember How Much You Are Loved ♥️

I thought I would share with you a photograph of my mirror. When I saw it today, I smiled. This mirror has travelled far and wide with me over many years. It may be a little worse for wear but the love that inspired its purchase isn’t! It is really important for a child to know that they are important to someone. To know and feel that they are loved and to be secure in the knowledge that someone is holding them in mind, even when they are not physically together. So

The Battle To Stay In The Moment I’m In.

I am not very good at staying present in the moment I am in. It’s something I’ve worked at for years with barely any improvement. I wonder if anyone else finds it difficult? I’ve finally found a way to do it. Can you spot what is helping me? (This is a nature version of ‘Where’s Wally?’). When I see this friend, who seems to live nearby, I stop what I’m doing and take a deep breath and watch. I teach children and young people to stay curious and find ways to support thems

Noticing Your Special Stories - Tie A Ribbon On It!

A very special someone has just reminded me of this and shared that this heart still sits in her bedroom to remind her of all she is when she struggles to remember. So, to mark the end of Mental Health Foundation #mentalhealthawarenessweek I thought I’d reshare. Hope you notice something special about yourself today 🎀. When your self esteem is on the floor it can be difficult/impossible to spot the things about you that make you special. Sometimes I talk about trying to no

Why Being Mean To Yourself Can Sometimes Seem The Best Way.

How many of us believe this to be true? 🌟 believed it was her constant, mean, inner dialogue that drove her forwards and helped her achieve her goals. Learning she could trust herself to achieve her goals without this mean, inner dialogue, transformed 🌟’s relationship with herself. She began to develop self-compassion. #TheWorryWizard #fromWorriestoWellbeing #Wellbeing #selfcompassion

The Power of Meeting Your Child Where They Are...

When you see a child struggling, your natural desire is to relieve that struggle. To urge them to climb up and meet you in a place you believe will be better for them. Why don’t you think this? Why don’t you feel this? Have you tried doing this? Yet,time and again, I am stunned by how powerful it can be for a child when you climb down and join them in the place that they are. When you are able to pause and be curious about their thoughts and feelings and what they are choo

Go Gently...You May Be Enough As You Are.

The new year...January...the idea that there needs to be a new you. That you ‘should’ start the year well. It can feel overwhelming. Each January the words ‘go gently’ repeat in my head. The new year does not require you to be any different to who you were last month. Though being a bit gentler might help. But in that too, go gently... #TheWorryWizard #fromWorriestoWellbeing #GoGently

Every Child Deserves A Champion.

“Every child deserves a champion, an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection, and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.” I’ve watched this TED talk again and again. I couldn’t agree with Rita Pierson more. What an inspirational speaker. It seems a fitting way to start the New Year. #TheWorryWizard #fromWorriestoWellbeing #Connection #Belief

Marble Jar Friends - Brene Brown

I have talked about Brene Brown’s marble jar friends a lot this week. It is so important to help children and young people learn how to recognise a good friend, support them to know who to trust and how to give that trust and how to find the Courage to build trust anew if someone breaks your trust. Trust can be a difficult topic for adults to navigate yet every time I have sat and watched this video with a child it has opened the door to a conversation on trust. I wonder wha

Don’t Worry Confidence, Determination Is On My Side.

I keep meeting the most amazing children who refuse to let their lack of confidence interfere with their day. Time and again they share stories of how they did something they felt afraid of and ended up having fun along the way. We add each story to our story bank and confidence moves nearer and nearer. #TheWorryWizard #fromWorriestoWellbeing #confidence #selfdoubt #determination

Don’t Blame The Lettuce 🥬!

I love it when a piece of writing makes sense whilst making you smile. “When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don’t blame the lettuce.” I will be sharing this piece over and over again. Many children will be familiar with growing something at school and spending time working out the best conditions to help it grow. This piece doesn’t just describe how to offer Empathy to others, it also gives a clear glimpse as to how you can offer yourself Empathy. If yo
