You may have seen news reports about possible changes to social media and YouTube access for under 16s.
For many neurodivergent children, these platforms are much more than entertainment. They can be part of a daily routine, a way to relax, enjoy special interests and feel calm and safe.
Not all children will understand what is happening, some may show they are worried through changes in their behaviour, emotions or routines.
There is no perfect replacement for YouTube or social media. Instead, think about what your child gets from these platforms. Is it the music? Their favourite characters? Learning about dinosaurs, trains or Minecraft? Is it the routine of watching the same videos each day?
Once you know why your child enjoys it, it may be easier to find other ways to meet that need. This could be through TV apps, music, audiobooks, favourite programmes, sensory apps, games, toys or activities linked to their special interests.

We've been super busy for Infant Mental Health Week!

Breastfeeding can be a rewarding experience, but it can also come with questions and challenges along the way.

Whether you're preparing for your baby's arrival or already navigating your feeding journey, trusted information can make all the difference.

The NHS has a helpful guide covering everything from getting started with breastfeeding to common concerns and where to find support: https://www.nhs.uk/best-start-in-life/pregnancy/

This year, Dave is taking on not one, but TWO incredible endurance events to raise funds for Koala North West: the Chester Marathon and the Wirral Winter 36 Mile Ultra.🏃‍♂️

Dave and his partner Amy first came to Koala during pregnancy and early parenthood - from the moment they closed their front door on Maggie's final visit Dave wanted to in his own words "give back to the charity that supported us." Now, with their son Ollie thriving, Dave is taking on this epic double challenge!

Every mile Dave runs will help us continue supporting families across our communities, giving children the best possible start in life.

If you're able to, please support Dave's incredible challenge and help us reach even more families. 🐨🎖️🙌

Infant Mental Health Week 2026: Attunement 🐨

Attunement is about noticing, understanding and responding to your baby's feelings, needs and cues.

From a smile and a cuddle to making eye contact and responding to their sounds, these everyday interactions help babies feel safe, loved and understood. Through these moments of connection, babies learn that they can rely on the people who care for them. At Koala North West, our Early Years services support parents, carers and families to build these strong, nurturing relationships from the very beginning. Through our groups, activities and family support, we're here to help families connect, grow and thrive together; get in touch if you would like to know more!

This Infant Mental Health Week, we're celebrating the power of attunement and the positive relationships that help babies thrive from the very beginning.
