There's a whole lot happening in your little one's brain during the early years.

Our kids are growing and developing at an extraordinary pace in the first eight years, figuring out their concept of self, others and the world around them.

But there's a LOT going on for us during this time, too. Understanding what's beneath their baffling or challenging behaviour, and how best to support them (let alone ourselves), isn't always easy.

Especially in a world full of opinions and endless shoulds that can leave us listening to everyone else, instead of trusting ourselves and tuning into the child right in front of us.

Growing Us is a homecoming to what matters most:

🌸 the relationship we nurture with ourselves, and

🌸 the relationships we nurture with our kids.

In this space, we weave together developmental science, therapeutic skills and the power of play to help children thrive...

While we also grow in self-compassion, emotional inteligence and deep-rooted confidence.

Because nothing grows you up like raising little kids, and we sure as heck weren't meant to do it alone!

Does this sound like you?

  • Tired of second-guessing yourself and feeling overwhelmed by challenging behaviours?

  • Wanting to break free from yelling, lose it less, and embrace a more balanced, firm + fair approach?

  • Passionate about nurturing children's social and emotional development and laying the foundations for lifelong wellbeing?

  • Wanting to better understand what's driving behaviour - and grow your toolkit for how to handle it?

  • Seeking real support that honours your intuition AND children’s individuality?

I hear you, I see you, I've got you!

What if children’s big feelings and behaviours no longer sent you into overwhelm?

Raising little kids was never meant to feel so lonely, confusing or complicated. Find your pathway to stop second-guessing and find your strong ground.

THE PERSON BEHIND GROWING US

I'm Ginny.

I'm a Mum (x2), Master-Qualified Play Therapist, Teacher, and endlessly curious student of the early years (ages 0-8).

I bring together my knowledge of how kids learn and develop, the science of psychology and therapeutic play to help us better understand children and what they need from us.

And... as a mum myself, I know that understanding the theory and living the reality are two very different things.

I'm not here to give you more rigid rules or judgement (we get enough of that in this online world!)

I'm here to help you see the child beneath the behaviour, step confidently into your role as their leader, and deeply trust in the power of your relationship.

🤍 Curiosity

🤍 Confidence
🤍 Connection

Because I believe that all of us (kids included!) deserve to feel safe, seen and supported.
