Making childrens lives easier by planting the seeds early -for good mental wellness.

The AUTHENTIC Child is the brain child of child and family COUNSELLOR Nicole Neave. Over years of experience with children Nicole believes that she has hit upon a perfect recipe to teach young children to become emotionally intelligent-which follows through for the rest of their lives. We teach children to truly believe in their authentic,natural selves,to celebrate their differences and to recognize that they are meant to be exactly as they are and to relish in their uniqueness is the key to being heroes in their own lives. Our tutors do this through different fun mediums,including drama,speech and play.The children have so much fun that they dont realise that we are teaching them strong emotional intelligence! Our classes are divided into preschool age and primary aged children

You can't buy your child a smarter brain.
Not with the right toy, the right book, or the right programme.

Every child arrives with their own temperament, interests and way of thinking.

But you can create the soil their mind grows in 🌱

And the most powerful habits are beautifully ordinary.

1️⃣ Talk WITH them, not just TO them.
Back and forth conversation helps children shape ideas, form responses and organise their thoughts. Research even links these conversational turns to activity in the brain's language centres.

2️⃣ Let them be bored.
When every quiet moment is filled with a screen, there's no space left to invent, wonder or decide what comes next.

3️⃣ Take their questions seriously.
"Why?" isn't your child being difficult. It's how they build their map of the world. Sometimes answer. Sometimes ask, "What do you think?" and let them reason it through.

4️⃣ Don't rush to rescue.
A challenge that fits their age builds planning, memory, focus and flexible thinking. The very skills that carry them through a lifetime of learning.

5️⃣ Give them real jobs.
Cooking, measuring, sorting, gardening, caring for a pet. These aren't just chores. They're lessons in sequencing, problem solving and seeing what their choices create.

6️⃣ Protect their playtime.
Play is where attention, self control, language and social skills quietly come alive.

7️⃣ Follow their obsession.
Bugs, maps, rocks, music, machines. A deep interest isn't wasted time. It teaches them to ask better questions, notice patterns and become little experts.

Intelligence isn't manufactured.
It's nurtured, one ordinary moment at a time 🤍
