The increase of family get-togethers during the festive period often amplifies what’s missing, and the end of the old year and the beginning of a new one can bring sadness for many people who have lost a loved one. For me, there’s something so bittersweet about recreating the very magic for your children, that the one you lost once created for you. I was reflecting a lot about my own experiences with the complex monster that is grief, and the things it has taught me. For context, this is my third christmas without my dad and in some ways I have found it the hardest yet, even though it was the most beautiful and magical in other ways (with my children). I’m not exactly sure why, but that’s the strange thing about grief… it follows no expected pattern.

What has grief taught you?

Let every second be my children 💫

I get why this isn’t for everyone. Social media shows us the shiny, boxed aesthetic, and pre-loved disrupts that. There’s also a stigma (which has actually shifted positively in recent years) that second-hand is “less than.” But just like a car leaving the forecourt, it’s pre-loved as soon as it’s left the toy shop. Kids outgrow toys fast. And toys are eye-wateringly overpriced.

We are a pre-loved-loving family. That 85% extends to my immediate family too - we’ve always bought each other second hand. My dad collected many things and one of the most exciting things about my Christmases gone by was finding that little antique or old treasure that would compliment his collections perfectly. My wardrobe is all pre-loved. My best mate and I send each other screenshots of our Vinted steals for the kids and share listings we think the other would like. Buying pre-loved is a true joy and something I would never change.

If you don’t already, why not try making a shift to pre-loved this Christmas? Believe me when I say: young kids don’t notice, and older kids don’t mind.

Do you buy your children pre-loved toys for Christmas?

The ambivalence of motherhood 💕

Continuing my series on highly sensitive children 🧠 💫 - here are some things I found out about the differences between sensory processing disorder and high sensitivity. As a parent, it can be really tricky to distinguish what path to venture down when it comes to neurodivergence and supporting your child. SPD is a prime example where I think some of the typical resulting characteristics are similar, so understanding where it begins really helps.
Again, not an expert, purely just self-research and lived experience.

What a woman. gives me hope for the future for my children.
I know so many of you guys love and appreciate Laura and all that she does, but if you haven’t already, make this the book you read before the year is out. ‘The New Age of Sexism’ is her most frightening and urgent work yet, focusing on the new era of misogyny that so many of us are unaware of, and the bias and sexism ingrained into AI technologies… covering everything from the metaverse to deepfakes, online sexual abuse, chat bots and cyber brothels. It was a privilege to hear her speak about it in person and I have been shaken to the core by the research she presents. I thought I had my eyes wide open, but I really bloody don’t. It’s something we all need to be aware of, particularly as parents.

As we approach the “season of sniffles” I thought I’d do a quick post on CROUP, what to look out for and what to do - make sure you scroll through to listen to the classic croup breathing. (Side note: It was actually May when my girl had croup, but they do say it’s typically a winter virus). Remember to listen to your instincts, don’t ever feel like you’re being a nuisance when it comes to your child’s health or wellbeing, seek second opinions, third opinions, fourth opinions, make noise, utilise the services. Don’t be afraid to demand better for your child and don’t be afraid to trust your gut. ❤️

I was asked to do a spoken word of my poem Tylenol. I did intend to originally, I knew it would read better out loud, but finding a minute where I don’t have a child either in my pocket or up my ass is difficult. Thank you for listening ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (and mostly, thank you for calling out the bu****it)

At this point I might set a weekly reminder on my phone to see what men in power are saying women have done wrong this week so I can fume and write a poem about it

I’m so glad so many of you found my posts on Highly Sensitive Children helpful. I’ve had lots of messages from people recognising their own little ones in my posts, but also lots of questions which I am collating and trying to answer over time. This is all from lived experience as parent to a HSC, and research I’ve collated over the last couple of years, I am by no means a qualified expert in this field. But there is, unfortunately, not enough information out there and too many parents who are at a complete loss and not aware about this!

For the next few posts I’m focusing on the differences between autism and high sensitivity, because there are a lot of crossovers and it can be difficult to distinguish. It is important to note that a child can be BOTH autistic and highly sensitive. But I am going to focus on differentiating between the two.

Obviously every child is different, and behaviour is on a spectrum, so some of this information can appear very black and white. You know your child best ❤️
