🌷 Happy Mother’s Day🌷

Today we are celebrating all the wonderful people who nurture, guide, comfort, encourage, and cheer on the little people in our lives. Mums, grandmothers, stepmums, aunties, carers, and every special grown up who shows up with love, patience, and snacks at exactly the right moment 😁❤️

We also know that Mother’s Day is not simple for everyone. For some, it is joyful. For others, it can feel tender, complicated, quiet, or heavy. Wherever today finds you, we hope you are met with kindness and care❤️

To the grown ups doing the endless invisible things, the packed lunches, the bedtime cuddles, the lost toy detective work, the deep breaths before answering “why?” for the hundredth time, thank you. What you do matters more than you probably realise.

We hope today brings a small moment that is just for you. A warm cuppa, a slow breath, a cuddle, a laugh, or even five uninterrupted minutes of peace ☕💐

A great workshop from A Village for Every Child on understanding children’s behaviour.

Understanding Behaviour Challenges in Day-to-Day Life

Behaviour can be overwhelming and stressful. Many parents and carers ask, “Why is my child acting this way?”

Join us for a practical and supportive workshop to help you understand what your child’s behaviour may be trying to tell you, and how to respond in helpful ways.

In this session, you will learn:
• How behaviour is a form of communication
• How skill gaps, such as communication or play skills, can lead to challenging behaviour
• Why behaviour happens, not just what it looks like
• Where to find services that can help you build practical skills and strengthen connection with your child

• Date: Friday 27 March 2026
• Time: 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
• Location: UnitingCare Kippax, 130 Hardwick Cres. Holt
• In-person or online
