๐ซ Calm Jars ๐ซ
Weโve all been mesmerised this week by our calm jars!
A resounding success in this weekโs one-to-one session as well as with my own little one!
Why not make your own? Youโll need a clean, empty plastic bottle and lid, glitter & glitter glue in a colour of your choice and warm water plus some glycerin (found in the baking aisle).
Fill the bottle about 3/4 with warm water, then add plenty of glitter glue, a tube of glitter & then a few drops of glycerin. Give it a good shake (make sure the lid is on properly ๐) to mix it all up, then youโre good to go ๐
Once itโs ready, give it a shake then hold it still and watch as it all settles back to calm again.
Weโd love to see your photos if you make one!๐

Supporting World Down Syndrome Day 2021 ๐งฆ
๐ International Happiness Day ๐
What makes you happy?
We went for a walk yesterday and my three year old insisted, โStop Mummy!โ So we did.
โLook! Thereโs a wall! Itโs brilliant! Iโm really excited.โ
It was the wall of a house (!) and a great reminder to me to be more like a toddler and view the world with awe and wonder. We both felt happy after our little explore round the local streets!
Happy weekend ๐ what have you got planned to help release some of those happy hormones?
Happy Motherโs Day, sending love to those who need it today ๐

๐๐ Happy International Women's Day! ๐๐
I'm very grateful for all the strong women in my life - my family, friends, colleagues and of course those in my Relax Kids tribe!

In twenty years time...
People will not ask the children of 2020 if they caught up with their studies.
They will not ask them what grades they made, despite the year off school.
They will ask them with wonder โwhat was it like?โ
They will ask them โhow did you cope?โ
โHow did you feel?โ
โWhat do you remember of those days?โ
They will listen in awe to the tales of clapping on doorsteps for the medical workers.
They will sit open-mouthed to hear of daily walks being the only life we saw and how much we missed human contact and gatherings.
They will be amazed to know about empty supermarkets, online concerts, birthdays spent on a screen and a life lived inside.
They will listen, then sit back with amazement and say, โWow. You went through so much.โ
So think about what you would like your children to take away from this whole year.
Tell them they are not behind.
Tell them they are not missing out.
Tell them they are extremely special indeed and they will be forever made stronger by this unique time.
Tell them catching up is not even a thing because they have grown so much in so many other ways.
Remind them too of the fun stuff, the family jigsaws, the window rainbows, the zoom bingo.
The feeling of safety and togetherness amidst the chaos.
Let them take that thought with them through life.
Change the narrative now and it will travel far.
Tell the children they are not behind.
They are special.
They are special.
