Short & sweet talks with Linda Smallbones (1)

Coming up!

17 June 2024

In June and July I am looking forward to chatting with you! All talks are online (Zoom), at 7pm SAST and last one hour. Each talk is R50.

I’ve called these talks ‘short and sweet’ because I aim to give a little bit of input and then facilitate a lot of discussion. Don’t worry, there are no expectations that participants speak if they don’t want to, but there will be plenty of opportunity if you wish to engage with others. We’re all parents in this together, after all.

 

25 June Journalling Taster

This is a little introduction to journalling, no experience necessary. If you’re curious about journalling, what its all about and how you can benefit from it, then come along. You do not need to be a parent to come along to this one! All are welcome.

 

2 July Helping your child navigate friendships

This term in my play therapy practice friendship issues have come up repeatedly. This short and sweet talk will focus on how to help your child build healthy friendships and how to support them when things are tough. Friendships are all about developing and practicing social skills so it’s safe to say it comes up for everyone and it is certainly not easy to deal with.

 

9 July Talking to your child about their body

This is a tough one for most parents. Have you heard the “8 is too late” campaign? It’s more true now than ever before due to the influence of the internet on our children’s lives. This talk will focus on when and how to talk to your child about sex, their bodies and body safety. We will talk about the PANTS rule (image above) and how to use that as a safety tool with your child.

How do I book?

I look forward to seeing you!

Endings

1 December 2024 It has been a week of lasts for our family as our youngest child finished primary school. I am struggling to process these words as I type them. We no longer have a kid in primary school. We will no longer be returning to Clifton Notties as parents. It’s crazy. Clifton Notties…

The ability to respond

23 November 2024 David Whyte, an Irish poet says that the word responsibility means “the ability to respond”. He says that we (adults) have made responsibility a heavy burden; all the things that we have to lug around and take care of, we think about work, home and financial responsibilities. We think about our responsibility…

Good Enough

1 November It’s the first day of the second to last day of the year, how are you? Let’s all just take a deep breath. NICE!

Am I the problem?

25 October 2024 I don’t take lightly the fact that dozens of parents each year take the step to make an appointment with me and talk about the need for play therapy for their child. For some, this can be an incredibly vulnerable space. Perhaps because of the turmoil they’re going through. Perhaps because it’s…

On Not Being Polite

4 October 2024   I have been telling my children recently when not to be polite. Don’t let people walk all over you – if sports is a metaphor for life… On the sports field, don’t be polite. You don’t say “please” when trying to get the ball away from your opponent. One hockey match, I…

Awe

27 September 2024 We spent part of the holiday in a cottage in a wood (literally) and got happily snowed in (literally), but only for 24 hours. For a family like ours, born and bred in mostly the sub-tropical parts of South Africa, the snow was a delightful, awe-inspiring experience. We saw the snow forecast…
