When a child says “I can’t”, our instinct can be to jump straight in with “Of course you can!”

But sometimes, rather than convincing them they can, it can help to get curious about what feels difficult.

“What bit feels difficult?”

“Shall we work out where to start?”

“Do you want me to help you with the first step?”

Breaking something down into one small, manageable steps can make it feel a little less overwhelming and gives them the opportunity to discover what they’re capable of.

Sometimes confidence grows from being supported to try, rather than simply being told we can🤍

Save this one for an “I can’t” day.

THERAPIST TIP TUESDAY 🤍

“Calm down.”

I think most of us have said it when our child is overwhelmed…I know I have.

But when a child is already experiencing a big emotion, telling them to calm down doesn’t necessarily help them know how to do it.

Sometimes, what they need first is connection.

Try:

🤍 “I’m here.”
🤍 “Let’s take a minute together.”
🤍 “Tell me what you need when you’re ready.”

It doesn’t mean we don’t hold boundaries or that every behaviour is okay. It simply means helping them feel calmer and more regulated before we try to talk about what happened.

Sometimes a small change in how we respond can make a really big difference.

Save this for one of those big feeling moments 🤍
