Happy Valentine's Day!

THIS is why if your child is struggling with emotional regulation or learning problems, you need to investigate if they have a food intolerance!

The worst!

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY: QUOTE OF THE DAY...
A Dose of Inspiration for #‎motivationmonday! How are you using your abilities?

I adore this beautiful quote by Magda Ge**er. Whether you have a baby, a toddler or an older child I think this message is the antidote to a world that is full of pressure and comparison.
