Hi… I’m Ellie, and I read all your messages. I’ve had a message from a mum in Rochester who is really struggling…Her toddler has started hitting — at home, and now at nursery. She feels embarrassed… upset… and is starting to question herself as a parent.She’s asking, “Why is my child doing this… and what should I do?” If this sounds like your situation… you’re not alone. Many toddlers go through stages where they express frustration physically…But the reason behind it — and the right way to handle it — can be very different from one child to another. And that’s where a lot of parents get stuck… Because what works for one child…doesn’t always work for another. Every child is unique.Every parent is dealing with their own pressures, routines, and challenges. And when you’re tired, worried, or feeling judged…the last thing you need is generic advice that doesn’t quite fit your situation. If you’d like guidance that’s built around your child…your situation… and what’s really happening day to day… Go to MyNewFuture.org Tell us what’s going on, in your own words…and we’ll help you create a clear, personalised plan you can follow. And remember… the overview is completely free. Because when it comes to your child…there is no one-size-fits-all answer.

Is Your Child Really Ready for Reception School?

👉 www.mynewfuture.org There’s growing concern across the UK that more children are starting Reception without the basic skills needed to cope in a classroom. Some are not toilet trained.Some struggle to communicate clearly.Many have had limited interaction outside the home. One of the biggest contributing factors?Too much screen time… and not enough real-world interaction. Why this matters:The early years are critical for developing confidence, communication, and independence. Without these foundations, children can feel overwhelmed from the very start of school. The good news:With the right guidance, parents can make simple changes that have a big impact. 👉 Visit www.mynewfuture.org to create a personalised plan to help your child get ready for school.
