Child Protection retweeted
When we are given time with a child who has been alienated from us, it can feel as though we have been granted an audience. The child may arrive as if they are doing us a favour, fulfilling a duty, or expecting something in return: a treat, a nice meal, an apology, money, or some proof that we know how lucky we are to see them at all...

The scars of childhood don’t disappear, they evolve.
They show up in adulthood as:
Anxiety
Mistrust
Perfectionism
An intense fear of rejection
These unresolved echoes ultimately shape how we love, parent, and lead.

When children can name their feelings, they can protect their boundaries.
Emotional intelligence isn’t a luxury, it’s a safeguard.
Children who learn to recognise and express emotions are better equipped to handle conflict, resist manipulation, and build healthy relationships.

Child Protection Week has passed. What has changed?
Well nothing. Until we work together, nothing will change.
Real change demands action on five levels

As we observe Child Protection Week, our safeguarding strategies must evolve faster than the digital environment our children live in. We often focus on what parents actively share, but we rarely discuss the sensitive data we are required to provide to local organisations

SID (Severe Intellectual Disabilities) and MID (Mild Intellectual Disabilities) learners teach us how to speak in a way that they can take our message to heart
As we continue with Child Protection Week, we had the amazing opportunity to spend time with the learners of Alma School

A narcissist is:
A victim of everything,
responsible for nothing,
offended by everything,
contributing nothing,
yet entitled to everything.

The Alienator’s Playbook: When Systemic Manipulation Collapses a Child’s World
Parental alienation is not a high-conflict custody dispute. It is a severe form of psychological child abuse. Manipulating a child to speak your words, is not a super power.

Heading into Child Protection Week, we need to talk about what a "statistic" actually represents.
We often share charts and figures to quantify a crisis. But when we look at the reality of child protection in South Africa, these stats cannot just remain numbers on a page.

Child protection is our passion.
Every single day, we face realities that most people only read about in the news. The reality of working in child protection is that it takes an unwavering commitment to the safety and future of our children.
