For parents

Independence grows fastest when the stakes are low and the praise is specific. These stories turn ordinary routines into small quests your child can star in. Try letting them do one whole step alone the next day, even if it takes longer.

These are stories, not therapy. If you ever have a worry about your child’s wellbeing, your health visitor, GP or school are the right next step.
