Noticing and Navigating Feelings: The Centre for Early Childhood's Explainer
This month, the Therapeutic Blueprint team have been reflecting on the importance of navigating feelings - both our own and those of the children we care for. Emotions form the foundation of connection, communication, and understanding, especially in the early stages of life, yet helping young children to recognise, express, and regulate their feelings isn’t always easy - it takes time, patience, and attunement. We wanted to share a fantastic resource from The Centre for Earl

This Month's Podcast: The Path Home - Reunification in Children's Residential Care
This month’s podcast delves into a topic that sits at the heart of many children’s journeys within residential care - reunification.
