Fair Night at Hilltop!

Hilltop had a fantastic evening bringing the fun of the fair to dinner time! 🎠

The menu was packed with classic fairground favourites, including cheeseburgers, hot dogs, toffee apples and candy floss and, of course, we couldn’t forget the infamous mushy peas and mint sauce! 💚

Good food, plenty of fun and a little taste of the fairground right at home. 🎪✨

Looking beyond the behaviour can help us understand what a young person might be feeling or needing in that moment.

It doesn’t mean excusing behaviour. It means responding with curiosity rather than judgement, and creating space for understanding.

Because sometimes, the question we ask is where change begins.

đź’¬ Would changing the question change the response?

Rather than asking, “How do we stop this behaviour?” we can ask, “What might this behaviour be telling us?”Looking beyon...

Rather than asking, “How do we stop this behaviour?” we can ask, “What might this behaviour be telling us?”

Looking beyond the behaviour helps us respond with curiosity, empathy and the right support creating opportunities for young people to feel understood and develop healthier ways to communicate their needs.

đź’¬ What do you think is important to remember when responding to challenging behaviour?

Independence isn’t about doing everything for young people it’s about creating opportunities for them to do things for themselves.

From cooking and budgeting to making everyday choices and learning to travel independently, small opportunities can help build confidence, decision-making skills and resilience.

Because every opportunity to try, learn and make a choice is another step towards independence. đź’™

Mindful Monday | Communication Beyond Words

Communication doesn’t always sound like words. 💛

For some young people, feelings, needs and experiences may be communicated through body language, behaviour, facial expressions, actions or even withdrawal.

Taking a moment to pause, notice and listen can help us understand what a young person may be trying to tell us — even when they aren’t saying it out loud. 🌱

Sometimes, the most important messages are the ones we need to slow down and notice.
