Peekaboo… with tuned in practitioners
At Jollies it’s all about the strong bonds and ‘tuning into’ what our children really desire… and this was illustrated perfectly through a recent interaction between Laura and one of her children.

After being asked for help Imogen thought she’d try to see if our children could do it themselves with gentle guidance and lots …
