There’s something really powerful about asking a child,

“Who are you?”

Not what do you want to be.

Not how are you behaving today.

But: Who are you?

At BriighterCare, we believe that childhood support should start with one very important thing:

A child who feels seen.

That’s where our “All About Me” focus comes in.

It’s not a workbook.

It’s not a worksheet.

It’s a way of supporting your child that says, “I see you. All of you.”

From their favourite colour (that changes weekly), to the sound that makes them cover their ears.

From the way they always line up their crayons, to the exact shade of toast they’ll accept.

From their sensory needs to their dreams about being a chef / astronaut / dinosaur / all three.

We pay attention. We adapt. We celebrate.

This month, in our Childhood Support sessions, we’re exploring identity, preferences, and self-awareness, through gentle, play-based activities that help your child feel in charge of their own experience.

Because when a child starts to know themselves, they can begin to advocate for themselves.

And that is powerful.

Depending on your child’s needs and goals, an All About Me session might look like:

→ Practising communication around likes/dislikes, sensory preferences, or favourite routines

→ Exploring emotions and how they show up in the body

→ Creating a visual “About Me” board (complete with glitter, googly eyes and maybe a few snack breaks)

→ Practising how to ask for help when something doesn’t feel right

→ Role-playing boundaries, self-advocacy, or social confidence in real-life settings (like the park, the café, or even the backyard)

Because “All About Me” isn’t just a theme, it’s the foundation for how we build trust, connection, and support that actually fits your child.

The best part? We’re not doing it alone.

We work with your child’s therapists, support team, and of course, you,  to make sure our sessions are aligned with your child’s developmental stage, personality, therapy goals, and communication style.

If your speechie is working on expressive language, we’ll gently reinforce that.

If your OT is building regulation strategies, we’ll bring them into play-based practice.

If your psychologist is helping your child learn to name their emotions, guess what? We’ll be there with feeling flashcards, sensory toys, and maybe even a feelings-themed dance party.

Aligned care isn’t a buzzword for us.

It’s the heart of what we do.

Because when a child feels safe to be themselves, that’s when they truly begin to grow.

At BriighterCare, every child we support is met with respect, flexibility, and genuine curiosity.

We want to know what lights them up.

What soothes them.

What makes them laugh until they snort.

Because the more we know about them, the more we can support with them.

So here’s to making space for every child to say:

“This is who I am.”

And hear:

“That’s wonderful.”
