Ever been told your child is "defiant"? That they won't do something..when it feels more like they can't? What looks like defiance is often distress. And behind every behaviour is a need, not a personal attack, not a power struggle, not a parenting failure. Parents aren't the problem. The lens we've been handed is. When we shift from "What's wrong with my child?" to "What's going on for my child?", everything starts to make a little more sense. You're not alone, and you're not doing it wrong. Let's start looking beneath the behaviour with compassion, curiosity, and connection. #activePBS #neuroaffirming #behindthebehaviour #activepbs #geelongbehavioursupport

We talk a lot about behaviours we want to reduce… but what about the ones we want to see more of? What does your child look like when they’re in their element? ▪️ When they feel safe? ▪️When they’re calm, creative, playful, regulated? ▪️When no one is telling them to be different? Too often, families are asked to describe what’s challenging. But I want to know: 💬 What’s their spark? 💬 What are they great at? 💬 When do you see their joy? Sometimes we get so caught up in the challenging behaviour that we forget to witness the magic. So let's flip the script, drop a comment and tell me one thing your child does when they're feeling good #Neuroaffirming #BehaviourSupport #ParentingWithCompassion #PositiveParenting #NeurodivergentKids #StrengthBased #ConnectionBeforeCorrection #NDParenting #GentleParenting #CelebrateTheWins #BehaviourSupportGeelong #Geelong

When a child is dysregulated, yelling, swearing, running away, refusing, your instinct might be to correct the behaviour. But here’s the catch: Brains can’t learn when they’re in survival mode. No logic. No consequences. No “
When a child is dysregulated, yelling, swearing, running away, refusing, your instinct might be to correct the behaviour. But here’s the catch: Brains can’t learn when they’re in survival mode. No logic. No consequences. No “teachable moment.” If we want kids to do better, we have to help them feel safe first. 💡 That’s where connection comes in: • Get low. • Soften your tone. • Offer presence, not pressure. • Co-regulate. • Then, when calm returns, that’s when teaching and reflection can happen. 🧠 This is a core principle in neuroaffirming behaviour support. Because it works! #behavioursupport #neuroaffirming #neuroaffirmingparenting #geelong #geelongbehavioursupport #connectionbasedparenting #coregulationmatters #understandingbehaviour #pbs #ndis #activepbs

You’re not failing. You’re unsupported. Read that again. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, touched out, burnt out, or like you’re somehow not doing enough, it’s not because you’re a “bad parent.” It’s because you're carrying too much with too little support. ➡ Navigating neurodivergence ➡ Managing school calls, waitlists, therapy ➡ Doing the mental load of ten professionals ➡ While still trying to be calm, regulated, available... human You don’t need more judgement. You need more understanding, better systems, and people in your corner who get it. That’s what I’m here for, real support for real families. 💬 Tag a parent who needs to hear this today. #neurodivergentfamilies #behavioursupport #ndparents #ndsupport #autismacceptance #adhdparenting #notjustamum #ndburnout #geelong #behavioursupportgeelong #activepbs
