Joanna Fortune

Child psychotherapist

mother talking with her son
Joanna Fortune: How can I explain morning sickness to my toddler? 
'My three-year-old son gets upset every time I have to run to the bathroom or need to lie down'

My little boy sleeping by the light of the window.
Joanna Fortune: How can we get our child back into his own bed?
Establishing a routine is one challenge; sustaining it is quite another

Sad little girl looking down
Joanna Fortune: My seven-year-old daughter dreads returning to school
Being shy and unhappy are two different things

Two Boys Using Laptop by Christmas Tree
Joanna Fortune: My teens only want to sit in front of their screens during the holidays
Am I fighting a losing battle?

Wed, 27 Dec, 2023

Mom and toddler daughter playing peekaboo
Joanna Fortune: I'm back to work soon after having a baby — how do I make this easier?
Your baby is still developing 'people permanence', or an understanding that people still exist even when we do not see them. So it is good for your daughter to experience these mini yet gradually increasing separations from you while building a connection with your childminder

Young mother, holding her sick toddler boy, hugging him at home
Joanna Fortune: My baby has no 'off-switch' and constantly wants my attention
"When they play alone for even short bursts of time, they may need us to leave their favourite toys or books within reach or set them up with blocks before we can step away."

Wed, 13 Dec, 2023

Little girl in autumn park
Joanna Fortune: My two-year-old hates the cold 
"Feeling cold when outdoors without adequate clothing or when it is especially cold outside is a normal sensory response but feeling cold all of the time or when indoors (once the space is adequately heated) can indicate an intolerance to cold or a temperature sensitivity."

Wed, 06 Dec, 2023

Too much cuteness!
Joanna Fortune: How can I prepare my three-year-old for arrival of new sibling? 
"You cannot do much more than you already are to prepare your son, or yourself, for the change that is coming. You have clearly told him enough to keep him excited."

Portrait of worried girl looking through the window at home
Joanna Fortune: My autistic daughter is being excluded by friends 
"We all need friends in our lives, even though it might be challenging to find people who understand you, enjoy being with you and with whom you feel a genuine connection."

Happy father reading stories with child
Joanna Fortune: Three-year-old wants to sleep in our bed since new baby arrived 
"His world has been upended, and he has to share you with this new baby he is still getting to know while trying to work out how he fits in - it can be overwhelming and he is allowed to struggle in this adjustment phase."
