A lovely message to take into the start of a new week - give their inner voice a boost and let them know how amazing they really are 💞

Whether you're on the Tablelands or the Cassowary Coast - we live in stunning regions for the kids to get out and explore. We've made a scavenger hunt for the kids (and adults) to get into nature, notice their surrounds and learn about the world around them 🌏

Let us know in the comments if you find them all!

For Infant Mental Health Awareness week this week we invite you to think about the infants in your family and community. Connection and relationships are key to infant wellbeing and we can do this mindfully and purposefully. The Every Family team are passionate about supporting parents and carers to do this with confidence.

Reach out to the team to find out more on this :) Ph: 4091 611, email: [email protected] or PM us - we'd love to chat!

Infant mental health grows through relationships. Every interaction helps shape how infants begin to experience their world. From how safe it feels, how curious they become to how connected they feel to others.

Each moment offers an opportunity to connect with caregivers, community and culture. When everyday interactions are warm, responsive and guided by genuine curiosity, they can have a lasting, positive impact.

During Infant Mental Health Awareness Week, we invite you to pause and notice the infants in your practice or community.

- Tune into their world
- Meet them at their level
- Follow their play with interest
- Notice their invitations for connection

And take a moment to wonder: what might this infant be seeing, thinking and feeling right now?

To support your practice and conversation, Emerging Minds offer a range of resources including the Infant and PERCS conversation guide.

Supporting infant mental health begins with presences in the small, everyday moments that make the biggest difference.

Looking underneath behaviour to the root cause will give us a better opportunity to understand why the behaviour is happening and what we can do to support our kids through it to more productive choices. This can be tricky to do at times, reach out to the team if you'd like more info or tips around this 🙂

Did you know positive attention and connection time are actually foundational to positive behaviour? If you are wanting to see more positive behaviour from your kids, make sure to notice it when happens and let your kids know you've seen it, heard it and love that it's happening.
