💬 WORDS WATCH: Teaching Kids Communication

Breaking communication down into simple, meaningful steps can help kids learn what respectful communication really looks like.

A great place to start is by helping children explore the difference between intent and impact:

💭 What did you mean? - What was your intention when you said or did that?

❤️ How did it make the other person feel? - What was the impact of your words or actions?

These conversations help kids understand that even when we have good intentions, our words or actions can sometimes affect others differently than we expected.

Teaching kids to pause, reflect, listen and repair when needed gives them valuable skills for building respectful, healthy relationships. 🌱

WORDS WATCH 💬

Words can leave a mark we can’t always see.

This video (from You Can't Ask That) reminds us how quickly we can judge others, and how deeply our words, reactions and disrespectful communication can affect someone.

That’s what SwearTober is all about. It’s a simple challenge with a serious purpose: reflect on the language we use, choose positive alternatives, start conversations and build healthier relationships.

By taking part, you’ll also help raise funds for vital family and domestic violence prevention initiatives.

Give a $@ #! (bleep). Take the challenge. Make a difference.🧡💜

Registrations Open on September 1

We're thrilled to announced that Mercedas Tafffe-Cooper from CounterPunch Australia has been selected as a Finalist for the 2026 Hunt for a Hero - Support and Caring Award.

The trust trap: navigating friendships, pressure and manipulation online.

Children and young people experience subtle forms of online manipulation that can shape their friendships, identity and wellbeing. Behaviours like exclusion, controlling dynamics, and emotionally loaded 'just joking' interactions are common and may be difficult to spot. This webinar unpacks online manipulative behaviours and harmful friendship dynamics.
