Who This Guide Is For
This guide is for you if:
Something in your gut is telling you to look a little closer…
Your child doesn’t seem quite themselves but you can’t fully explain why
They act differently after time with another adult or in certain environments
You notice them becoming quieter, more watchful, or trying harder to please others
You feel like something isn’t quite right… even if you can’t put it into words
You’re worried about saying too much, saying the wrong thing, or making things more confusing
This isn’t about getting it perfect.
It’s about understanding what your child might be experiencing and feeling
more confident in how you respond.
About me
Hi, I’m Ashling.
I’m a child emotional wellbeing educator and the author of the Sam Emotional Wellbeing Stories.
I began writing these resources after noticing how difficult it can be for children to make sense of confusing adult behaviour. Many children feel responsible for things that were never theirs to carry.
My work focuses on helping parents understand the hidden emotional experiences children often struggle to express.
