Emotional Toolkit – For Back to Daycare & School

Send my 'Emotional Toolkit' straight over please ...
Sending your little one off to daycare, kindergarten or back to school brings up all the feels—relief, pride, grief, sadness, and maybe even a little anxiety. This transition can be even trickier when there is a new baby in the family. You’re not alone in this.
This toolkit is designed to help you find your flow amidst the transition, to honour your emotions, and to show up with calm, clarity, and connection.
You’re doing amazing, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. Let’s make this season one of growth for both you and your child.

How to Talk About Sharing the Mental Load with Your Partner: A Complete Guide
In many households, the mental and emotional work of managing a family, often called the invisible load, falls disproportionately on mothers. It's not just about doing tasks; it's about carrying the mental checklist: remembering appointments, organising activities, planning meals, and anticipating everyone's needs. Over time, this invisible mental load can lead to resentment, overwhelm, and burnout.

Helping Children Navigate Grief
Children experience grief differently than adults. They may not have the words to express their feelings, so they show them in other ways—through tears, anger, or even unexpected silliness.
