Hello, I have taught latch hook crochet to adults, to children in school and at the moment to my local Saturday class. I would love to reach more children online. Beginners can learn new fun projects using a latch hook instead of a traditional hook. I teach new easy methods which are not usually learned in traditional crochet. We begin with easy bracelets, flowers and headbands, things children can wear. First projects include baskets, bags, pots, bugs and easy bags. Please comment if you would like to know more about Crochet Art and Cordcrochet.

A calmer, nervous-system-informed way to parent and live! Shop--> 🛍️ Hi, I’m Ellie — UK based, mum of three, plant lover, and founder of this space. Grounded Roots was created for parents raising deep feelers, neurodivergent children, and kids whose behaviour often gets misunderstood. This is not a “fix your child” space. It’s an “understand what’s happening underneath” space. Here we talk about: 🌿 Regulation before reaction 🌿 What behaviour is really communicating 🌿 ADHD, autism, demand anxiety & sensory overwhelm 🌿 Boundaries with connection 🌿 Real-life tools that work in ordinary family life 🌿 The messy, beautiful in-between I’m Level 3 qualified in Childcare, Learning & Development, with over 20 years working alongside children and families — and I parent with lived experience of ADHD and autism too. Most of what I share comes from real life. From hard days. From repair. From staying steady when it would be easier not to. 📚 Make sure you explore the tabs at the top of the group. They hold structured resources, guides, pathways, and practical tools designed to support you beyond a single post. This space isn’t just conversation — it’s a growing library. You’ll also find: 🌱 Regulation card tools 🌱 Body-based language for children 🌱 Practical frameworks you can return to 🌱 Honest conversation without judgement If you’re here, you probably care deeply. You’re in the right place. Introduce yourself in a new post and tell us what’s brought you here. Let’s grow strong roots together 🌿

Parenting can be a strange mix of moments. Some days feel calm and connected… other days feel like everything is a bit louder, heavier, or harder to navigate! If today has been one of those tougher days, you’re not alone here. One thing I always remind families (and myself) is that children’s behaviour usually tells us something about capacity in that moment — how much they can handle, how regulated they are, and what support they might need.. Sometimes it looks like pushing boundaries, overwhelm, or simply a child trying to make sense of a big feeling.. There isn’t one perfect response that works every time — and that’s okay. Parenting is a process of noticing patterns, adjusting, and learning alongside our children. Wins, questions, rough days… all of it belongs here.

Mistakes are progress in disguise. They mean you tried something. You tested an idea. You stepped beyond what was familiar. People who never make mistakes usually aren’t moving very far — they’re staying where it’s safe and predictable. Growth is messy. It involves wrong turns, adjustments, and learning as you go. So don’t measure yourself by how often you get it right. Measure yourself by how willing you are to keep going after you get it wrong. That’s where real progress lives.

I’ve been thinking about something as this space continues to grow. I want to be clear about the foundations it stands on. Everything I create comes from my own work in schools, lived experience, professional learning, and the families I support every day. The ideas, frameworks and resources here are built from real-life practice — what I see, test, adjust and refine in actual settings. In the online world, we all learn from each other in different ways. Platforms like YouTube, Buy Me a Coffee, digital downloads, AI tools, community structures — none of these belong to one person. They’re tools. We observe, we learn, we adapt, and we build what works for our own communities. That’s how growth happens. I use AI at times to help refine wording or restructure scripts, the same way someone might use an editor. But the thinking, experience and methodology behind everything I share is mine. If you purchase a resource from me — whether free or paid — it’s yours to use within your family, setting or circle. I don’t build walls around learning. I build tools to be used. Integrity matters deeply to me. If you ever feel unsure about something I’ve shared, or uncomfortable with how I do things, my inbox is open. I welcome respectful questions and constructive feedback. Open conversation keeps communities healthy. There is room for many of us in this space. The goal is better outcomes for children and families — and we each bring our own voice to that work. I’ll continue doing mine in a way that feels grounded, practical and real.
