When a child experiences BIG emotions—and let’s face it, most do—our natural response is to focus entirely on them. We turn our attention to their tears, frustrations, and confusion, doing our best to help them navigate their way through the emotional storm. But in the midst of this, we often forget about someone equally affected: the parent or carer who is trying to hold it all together.
Raising children is no easy feat. While parenthood offers incredible highs, it’s important to recognise the inevitable lows. Social media often sugar-coats the experience, making it seem as though everything is perfect, but in reality, parenting is tough. And society frequently forgets about the parent—the one working tirelessly to help their child with big emotions, all while managing their own.
Parenthood can leave you feeling lost, exhausted, and emotionally drained. For many, it can also bring to the surface unhealed wounds from the past. Children have a unique ability to shine a light on emotions and experiences we thought we had long buried. While this is part of the beauty of raising children, it can also be incredibly overwhelming for parents and carers alike.
This is exactly why Little Paws Big Roars exists—not just to support children but to provide the much-needed support for the parents, carers, and educators who guide them. We believe that helping those who care for children is just as important as helping the children themselves. Parenting is challenging, and no one is expected to have all the answers. But with the right tools and a supportive community, it becomes much more manageable.
At Little Paws Big Roars, we are committed to supporting parents, carers, and educators just as much as the children they care for. Through this approach, we ensure that everyone gets the emotional support they need during this unpredictable but AMAZING journey of life.
Our products are designed with parents and carers in mind. Each one comes with messages of encouragement because we want you to feel less alone. We are passionate about creating a world where the emotional wellbeing of both children and their parents is supported and valued. Together, we can provide the best possible environment for your little ones—and for you.
If we want to create a kinder, more understanding world for our children, we need to start with ourselves. By supporting one another, we can be the change we wish to see, and through this collective effort, we can make a lasting difference.
When we hold space for ourselves as parents and carers, we are better equipped to hold space for our children. After all, it takes a village to raise a child, and it also takes a village to support the parents who are raising them. Little Paws Big Roars is here to be part of your village, offering the tools, resources, and community to help you thrive in parenthood.
