As parents, we sometimes face both uplifting and difficult days due to external pressures or internal struggles. On the better days, it can be helpful to plan ahead and put supports in place, so we feel more ready when the tougher days arrive. Prioritising our mental health not only helps us cope but also strengthens our ability to care for our children during challenging times.

Appreciating the now
Every stage of your child’s development has its ups and downs. So when it feels heavy, take a breath, and remind yourself to see and enjoy the positives of that season.

Communicating with your child with autism p3
Communication between autistic and non-autistic people can be challenging due to differences in how we experience and interpret the world. These misunderstandings are mutual, not simply a result of autistic traits. Many autistic people communicate effectively just in a different way. Our third post of this segment focuses on ‘special interest’ and how engaging in conversations about these subjects can be a meaningful way to connect.
