Early therapy means healed adults and children that are better able to better express themselves.

A new year means healthy eating for the entire family. But healthy eating does not have to be boring. Here are a few creative ideas to make healthy desserts. And yes we can still use a little sugar, we just have to be creative and use at least half the amount of sugar, we'd normally use OR, use natural sweeteners like honey or Monk Fruit. Let us know which dessert your kids would enjoy in the comments below!

Set aside 30 minutes each day for open conversations with your child. Listen without judgment; let them express themselves. This will help to build stronger bonds and unbreakable trust.

🎁 Gift giving isn’t about buying the most expensive thing. It’s about what comes from the heart.
A hand-made, home-made gift, sometimes makes the biggest impact. An educational gift is fun, and teaches them along the way. A vacation could be as simple as a couple of nights at an Air BnB or as grand as a resort... the end result, is time together with the ones we love.

Hey CaribT2T Parents,

How do you bond with your children?

Bonding with your children is crucial for several reasons, as it significantly influences a child's emotional, social, and cognitive development. 💖

Hey Carib Parents,
What is your parenting style?

🌟 Gentle parenting builds strong emotional bonds, fosters positive behaviour, and nurtures essential life skills. From empowering autonomy to modeling positive behaviour, it's a journey that leads to lasting benefits for both parents and children. 💖✨

Bring Holiday cheer with healthier sips! 🌟 Opting for wholesome drink choices isn't just about what we avoid; it's about embracing vibrant flavours that nourish and energize. Swap the sugary indulgence for drinks that bring joy without the guilt—your children will thank you later! 🍏🥤

🍪 Today's therapeutic tip: No matter what you do, just do it together, enjoy the moment, and make new memories.

The Christmas holidays have officially begun, and even though it is the season of good cheer, it is also the time when some of experience the holiday blues.
Your children are like sponges they might be mirroring your own sadness and depression during this season. Or they may be having their own feelings of being overwhelmed or depressed. Have an open conversation with them listen to their responses. By listening, you can provide support.

In the meantime, here is what you should look out for.

Many of us grew up with more traditional careers; but more and more, our children are teaching us about new and emerging careers that wouldn't be considered the norm. With the explosion of social media and digital platforms, we have a new generation of young content creators that need guidance. If your child is interested in making and posting content, here are a few things you should ask...

Why do you want to be an influencer?
Who do you want to make content for?
Where do you want to share your content?
How much time do you want to spend each week on it?
How often do you want to publish or post something?
How long do you want to try this out? Listen to their answer, then consider making a commitment together. For example, try making six posts with a plan to revisit the idea at the end of the trial run to see if they’re still enjoying it.
Who do you want to share your content with? Consider sharing with friends and family at first. If they’re still enjoying the process, ask if they’re ready to go public.

It's that time of the year...yup...End of Term Exams. Don't panic, here are a couple of tips ahead of exam week. Good luck everybody!

Treats are delicious, but they are not usually a healthy part of your child's diet.

When it comes to treats, some families might only do treats on the weekend, while others might be eating treats every day after school. Some parents use treats as rewards, while others treat their children every chance they get.

What do YOU think about this? Tell us in the comments. We'd love to hear from you!
