Today Sailor got to meet @ziggyalberts Someone that she has listened too while she recovered from cancer treatment. She finds his music calming ✨ Ziggy was kind enough a few years ago to send Sailor a care pack of beautiful merch to show his support of Sailor's journey. What a wonderful, kind soul 🙏🫶✨ 29th May is a day we celebrate. It's the day our daughter was told that she was in remission, no 'cancer' was detected. This didn't mean our lives just went back to normal. She still has constant scans and check ups, that slowly becomes less as the years go on. But the anxiety of scan day continues to live on... Her next scan will be this July 🙏🎗️ But today we celebrate 💛 4 Years Cancer Free 🙏🎗️💛 Thank you Ziggy for being part of her healing journey ✨🙏 #ziggyalberts #healing #cancer #childhoodcancer #oncology #hodgkinslymphoma #paediatriccancer #cancersurvivor #kidsmentalhealthtoy #mentalhealth #toy #boo #childhoodmentalhealth #mybuddyboo #mybuddyboocrew

🌱At TimberNook we support their right to take initiative and self direct themselves. The role of the adult is to step back. 🌱When conflicts arise we step in, not to take sides, but to support both parties to talk things through and come up with a plan that empowers and respects. 🌱Often times when the adults think they need to step in, the children figure out how to solve it on their own. 🌱Experiencing conflict and being able to solve their own problems is key to a resilient child. However, conflict won't arise unless you #letchildrenplay ! Sign up for summer programming today!

🌱One of my favorite memories as a child was playing "spy" all around my neighborhood. Today at Little Wild Ones (our afterschool program) the younger girls in the group decided to "spy" on the teenagers playing up top the hill. 🌱Timbernook programs is reminiscent of a time where children roamed the neighborhoods finding things to do on their own, solving their own problems, and taking social and physical risks. 🌱If we allow children to do this, they will become more resilient and happy!

Mental illness is the change in thinking, feeling or behaving that causes distress or gets in the way of being able to act. Mental illnesses in children affect how they relate with their peers and family, academic performance and so on. Did you know that mental health illnesses can affect children of all ages? Yes, it does, and that's why it's important for us to talk about it and understand the different forms of mental health problems that can impact our little ones. We must end the stigma and create a safe space for our children to express their emotions. Remember, mental health is just as important as physical health. Let's prioritize our children's well-being together! 💛 #mentalhealthawareness #childrensmentalhealth #breakthestigma #prioritizehealth #ChildhoodMentalHealth #KidsMentalWellness #YouthMentalHealth #ChildhoodAnxiety #AdolescentDepression #TeenMentalHealth #ChildhoodTrauma #YouthEmotionalWellbeing #KidsTherapy #AdolescentCounseling

Anxiety in children is a complex issue that can manifest in various ways, often presenting differently than it does in adults. ✨ Understanding the signs and symptoms can help parents, caregivers, and educators provide the necessary support and intervention. Recognizing these signs and symptoms is crucial for early intervention and support. Parents, caregivers, and educators play vital roles in creating a supportive environment where children feel safe expressing their feelings and seeking help when needed. Encouraging open communication, fostering resilience, and providing access to mental health resources are essential steps in addressing anxiety in children and promoting their overall well-being. Let’s help our children not to feel that way, share this post for awareness. 🙏 #ChildhoodAnxiety #MentalHealthMatters #AnxietyAwareness #ParentingTips #SupportingKids #MentalWellness #ChildhoodMentalHealth #EndStigma #EmotionalHealth #CopingStrategies
Childhood is meant to be a time of worry-free downtime, but for many children, anxiety can cast a shadow over these precious years. From separation anxiety to social worries, childhood anxiety comes in many forms, and it is good to know the signs. Many anxious children are quiet, compliant, and eager to please their parents and others. Our Behavioral Health Clinic can help build strategies with parents to empower children with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges with resilience and confidence 💙 💚 💛.

Some kids feel overly responsible for bad things that happen. They blame themselves when, in reality, others share the responsibility. Over time, taking full responsibility for bad things that happen can cause stress, anxiety, and low mood for kids. Here’s a strategy to help reduce that stress and make them feel better. The next time you hear your child taking too much responsibility for something try this: Start with two circles on a piece of paper. The first represents how responsible your child feels. This one will probably be 100%, or close to that. The second one is for how responsible they actually are. This one includes all the other people who are partially responsible for the thing that happened. With young kids, you can just list those other people, for older kids you can estimate the percentage of the others’ responsibilities. Comparing the two pies puts the situation into perspective for kids and can relieve the stress of feeling too responsible.

Woodlands Acadia Trip: Part 1 There is so much to say about our 3 day trip to @acadianps with our 2nd through 4th grade class. Day 1 | After setting up camp at #blackwoodscampground, we took a short walk to cliffs overlooking the ocean. We noticed what was similar and what plant life was different in our surroundings, and most importantly, we spent some time with our practice of sit spots in this new location. Learners used their field journals that they had prepped before hand, to document their surroundings and their feelings using art, writing, poetry, and sound mapping. We shared our work, and felt collectively how a familiar practice (like sit spots) can help to make an unfamiliar place more comfortable. As an Educator, I found myself wondering about the definition of #placebasededucation and if a more expansive definition might apply to what we offer @roots_letsplay. We finished up with an incredible potluck dinner around the campfire and sang some favorite songs as the sun set. If there was a single message we hope our Learners took away this day, it’s that in a world that can feel brutal and beautiful in equal measure, they’re never ever alone on their journey. “ In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.” - Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe #everykidoutdoors #getoutside #1000hoursoutside #outdoorkidsarehappykids #elementaryscience #placebasededucation #rootedinplace #childhoodmentalhealth
It’s summer time, which means school holidays and vacation time. It’s the most fun time for kids. Holidays can be the best time to bond with kids. Make the best of summer vacation with these tips to improve parent-child bond. 1. Disconnect to connect: less screen time more fun time 2. Family Game Nights: playing board games, card games, or video games together as a family encourages healthy competition and strengthens familial bonds. 3. Outdoor Sports: Playing outdoor sports promotes physical activity and teamwork while providing opportunities for bonding. 4. Involve yourself in their activities. Be part of their games and ideas. 5. Storytelling / reading sessions: Let your child choose books they’re interested in, and take turns reading aloud to each other. It’s a simple yet meaningful way to bond over shared stories and experiences. 6. Day Trips or Weekend Getaways: Plan short trips to nearby attractions, such as museums, zoos, or amusement parks. Explore new places together and create lasting memories through shared adventures.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! I work in the field of mental health and have family who suffers from mental illness, so this is a topic that is super important to me. While self care is a huge part of ensuring good mental health, I want to discuss a part of mental health that is rarely discussed, and that is parents who deal with their own child having mental health issues. So often children with mental illness are labeled as behavior problems and written off by schools. Parents are told over and over again that it doesn't matter how smart or how talented their child is because their behavior keeps them from being included. As parents, we're left feeling like failures because we don't have the answers to help our child. If this is your story, I'm here to tell you to hang in there. I've been there, too, and I see you. Your child matters and they are more than just their mental illness and behaviors. #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #childhoodmentalhealth #nuerodivergent
☀️🌸While the end of another school year is near and the joys of summer are ahead, many young ones may be experiencing feelings of unease and worry as they consider the idea of summer camp. Being away from parents can feel scary, especially in a new environment, surrounded with new routines and unfamiliar faces😢🥺 While we know our children will have a wonderful summer experience at camp, we can also recognize that this anxiety can be overwhelming for them. 🌿 Check out my book ⬇️ www.thelovebraceletbook.com #summer #kids #summercamp #separationanxiety #childhoodanxiety #parenting #childhoodmentalhealth #childrensbook #thelovebraceletbook
⭐If you are interested in pursuing a self directed education and considering Macomber Center as a place to send your child, we highly recommend the book "Free To Learn" by Peter Gray ⭐Peter Gray is a research professor in the department of psychology at Boston College He has conducted and published research in neuroendocrinology, developmental psychology, anthropology, and education.

Have you heard of the ACEs Test? ACEs, or Adverse Childhood Experiences, are 10 specific traumatic childhood events that researchers have found to be linked to a higher likelihood of health issues in adults. While obviously you cannot predict the future with certainty, this is a valuable asset in guiding which support methods can benefit those effected by different kinds of trauma. This once again shows just how important mental health is in the early years of a person's life. The CDC has a fantastic page on ACEs with some statistics that is honestly quite eye opening.

On November 26, 2023, BloomingTanMan's founder, Sagarika Banerjee, along with core member Malvika Joshi, hosted a one-day workshop called 'Discover, Explore, Express, Create and Heal' in Pondicherry. The interactive session allowed participants to exchange experiences and delve into the therapeutic dimensions of Mandala art.

Things I think about all the time… 💭💭
Mental health is an important part of a child's general health. Mental health and physical health work hand in hand as both affects how a child thinks, feels, and acts both on the inside and outside. Mental health in children is unique as it determines their well-being. It's so important for us to understand and prioritize the well-being of our little ones, because after all, they are the future. 🌟 Let's educate ourselves and spread awareness about this topic, because mental health matters at every age. 💛 #MentalHealthInChildren #WellBeingMatters #FutureLeaders #SpreadAwareness #mentalhealth #childrenshealth #wellbeing #parenting #childhood #mentalwellness #kidshealth #emotionalwellbeing #childdevelopment #mentalhealthawareness #parentingtips #childhoodmentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #raisingkids #childhooddevelopment #mentalhealthsupport #kidsmentalhealth #parentingadvice #childmentalhealth #mentalhealtheducation

𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗯𝘆 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱𝟯𝟲𝟬 Thanks to our amazing friends at Good360, IMPACT's Community Services Family Mental Health program has received a wonderful gift: brand new Lego! We recently noticed our Lego collection was showing its age, and thanks to Good360, we were able to refresh our resources just in time for the school holidays. From Bundaberg to Childers and Hervey Bay, we hosted Lego building days where up to 20 children joined in the fun! The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with one child even comparing our Lego to their beloved Minecraft set at home! Our staff also found the experience invaluable, connecting with the children and fostering open conversations about mental health while building something incredible together. We are immensely grateful to Good360 for their support, enabling us to provide these enriching experiences to children who may not have had the opportunity otherwise. Together, we're making a real difference in the lives of young people. Thank you, Good360!

🌱Children need LOTS of TIME and SPACE to hangout (play) with one another. 🌱Peter Gray, a developmental psychologist, argues that the decline in play opportunities for children has been happening for decades and is the root cause of our children's mental health crisis. 🌱We must allow children of all ages to PLAY!! 👉https://www.bostonglobe.com/2024/04/22/metro/depression-teens-social-media-free-play-childhood/ #optoutside #selfdirectedlearning #forestplay #makeplayvisible #sensoryprocessing #childhoodmentalhealth #timbernook #barefoot #letchildrenplay
🌱 Just like a garden, our kids’ mental health needs regular care to truly thrive—not just during the school year, but all year round. Summer is a wonderful time to decompress and slow down and a perfect opportunity to continue to build essential skills that will enhance mental health, resilience, and overall well-being. Keeping up with therapy can help kids reflect on the past year, improving their emotional and mental health and setting them up for a strong start in the fall. Check out our individual and group services if you are interested in accessing summer support that will help set your child up for success during next school year!🎒 #sf #millvalley #sftherapy #sfparents #parenting #parenthood #momlife #motherhood #childrentherapy #mumsofinstagram #mentalhealth #kidtherapy #mentalhealthawareness #emotionalintelligence #emotionalhealth #resilientkid #kidresilience #childdevelopment #childpsychology #childhoodmentalhealth #familytherapy
Having spent over a decade working alongside children and their families in education and care settings, I felt as though I had a pretty good grasp on all things child development, play and wellbeing... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That was until I completed my Masters in Play Therapy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The course opened up my eyes to new and innovative ways of working systemically with children, families and professionals, with play at the core. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As I entered my final clinical placement we were introduced to Garry Landreth’s quote... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “we should begin focusing on how best to give our skills away... that is the way we change society... not by hiding our skills away behind our office door or playroom door” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ which urges us to extend our expertise beyond the confines of our therapeutic spaces and into the broader world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As play therapists, we possess a unique set of skills that can profoundly impact children’s lives. I therefore feel it’s a pivotal responsibility of mine to share these skills widely. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is why I’m so passionate about sharing and connecting with educators and professionals through my social media networks, as well supporting and mentoring families through the Filial Therapy process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have some exciting projects on the horizon that I cannot wait to share! Leave a 🤍 to be the first to know when they launch!
📝 Counseling session schedules are extremely beneficial for elementary-aged children. They create consistency + predictability which can help students feel more at ease with counseling. 🤲 When appropriate, I like to co-create the schedule with students. I started meeting with a new student today who is a @zonesofregulation rockstar so we immediately incorporated this into our session plan. We created this agenda for future sessions. ⭐️ #socialwork #schoolcounseling #schoolcounselinglife #schoolcounselingoffice #schoolcounselingmatters #schoolcounselingsimplified #socialworker #schoolsocialwork #counseling #mentalhealth #childhoodmentalhealth #socialworkersofinstagram #schoolmentalhealth #anxiety #anxietykids #rainbowclub #pflag #outmetrowest #trevorproject #arttherapy #schoolcounselor #schoolcounselors #zonesofregulation #arttherapy #cbttherapy
