How can Head and Heart support your family?
You might recognise your child in some of the experiences below:
-
play that feels repetitive or less flexible
-
difficulty joining or sustaining play with other children
-
preference for solitary or adult-directed play
-
challenges with imaginative or pretend play
-
difficulty with turn-taking, flexibility, or shared play
-
frustration when play doesn’t go as expected
-
big emotions that are hard to manage
-
anxiety, worry, or needing frequent reassurance
-
shutdown, withdrawal, or difficulty expressing feelings
-
becoming overwhelmed more easily than expected
-
difficulty with change, transitions, or everyday demands
-
behaviour that reflects underlying stress or distress
-
difficulty making sense of challenging experiences
-
your child finding it hard to feel understood, supported, or secure with you
-
patterns of interaction that lead to disconnection or escalation at home
-
responses that feel hard to understand or shift
-
attempts to seek connection that come out as challenging behaviour
-
difficulty accepting comfort, guidance, or boundaries
-
wanting to strengthen connection and trust in your relationship
If these experiences feel familiar, book a short, no-pressure call to talk through what’s been happening for your child and whether this support feels like a good fit.
