Let your child choose what to make.
Let them get messy.
Let their monster look completely different from yours.

Ask:
“What should we call him?”
“Is your monster friendly or scary?”
“What does he like to do?”
“What would make him feel better if he was frightened?”

The goal isn't the craft.
The goal is the connection.

Put the finished creations somewhere special and let your children tell you the stories behind them.

Bedtime resistance isn't always about refusing sleep. Sometimes it is a child's way of saying, “Stay connected to me. Help me feel safe while we separate.”

You can offer both reassurance and a clear boundary:
“When you close your eyes, I am still here.”
“Goodnight means it is time to sleep. It doesn't mean I'm leaving you.”
“Even when you can't see me, you are safe and connected to me.”
“If you wake up and need us, you can call.”

Connection and boundaries can exist together.

The arrival of a baby is often imagined long before it happens, the first cuddle, introducing them to loved ones, bringing them home, and slowly finding your feet together as a family.

But sometimes, the beginning looks very different from what was hoped for or expected.

In this blog, Clinical Psychologist and Family Therapist Charlene Aquilina reflects on the emotional experience of parents whose baby is admitted to NPICU, while also exploring practical and meaningful ways that family members, friends and other significant people can offer support during this challenging time.

A successful two days at the MASW Social Work Fair 2026🙌

It was a pleasure connecting with students and professionals from different backgrounds, sharing insights and showcasing the vital work carried out by SCSA within the social sector💙🤝

A gentle reminder for parents: you are human too.

Positive parenting isn't about being calm, patient and emotionally available every single moment. It is about noticing, repairing and trying again.

Our children don't need perfect parents. They benefit from parents who can acknowledge difficult moments, reconnect and model that starting over is possible.

Be as compassionate towards yourself as you encourage your child to be towards themselves.

Over the next two days, we will be participating in the MASW Social Work Fair 2026, connecting with professionals, students and stakeholders while showcasing our work and initiatives.

Help your child notice the qualities that matter in friendships:

Feeling safe
Being listened to
Taking turns
Respecting boundaries
Being able to disagree
Having fun together

Friendship skills are learned over time. We can teach them without expecting every friendship to be perfect.
