Function Focused Therapy

To all the women taking on the role of mum, we wish you a very happy Mother's Day! ❤️ It is a calling that protects and nurtures those who need it. A journey that is like no other. We wish you all an amazing day filled with smiles, hugs, and lots of love. From the FFT team 💐

We were taught as kids that success is how busy we are; the success we achieve academically or at work, how quickly we finish projects, that the 'more' we have the better it is.... Our world is so fast paced, the TURTLE THEORY reminds us that the journey is not the destination, but the bits in between. 🐢 Being 'busy' constantly means that we not only live in a state of chronic stress (hello cortisol), but we miss the ✨GLIMMERS✨ This is your reminder that it is ok to slow down. To feel stuck. You don’t need to sprint.
You just need to continue moving forward. Not everything slow is wrong, delays are not always lost time. Like the turtle, you can trust your own pace or your child's pace. Every step forward is progress towards your end goal.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Today is International Children's Book Day! The perfect opportunity for us to share our most loved books and resources with you.

It’s been a week…. A hectic, messy, fun loving, emotional roller coaster of a week! 🎢 I have loved seeing all the posts, the advocacy and awareness about our unique strengths and struggles. 🌈 I know our team and many parents in our networks appreciate being part of a supportive online community that lifts others up! So I thought it might help to share what works for me when things don’t go to plan…. We are all juggling multiple roles in our busy lives. Cheers to the weekend! Rachael ♥️

Some reassurance for us parents! We only need to get it right 30% of the time!
