One of my favourites evenings. 💗

Kids are so incredible!

I have learned so so so much from my own two kiddos and continue to learn from those I get the honour of holding space for. 💕

I will say, it is a tough time to be a kid right now, and a very tough time being a parent. There really is no us and them...there is only a "we" whether we like that or not. We deeply affect each other and are a working team.

So, tonight...I encourage you to spend a little extra time, that extra chapter at bedtime, the extra snuggles, the extra 15 minutes to talk...the rest can wait. 💖
I read something a while back that said "parenting is only hard for good parents" and while I do not like to think of "good" and "bad" I do believe this to be true. 💞 You are doing incredible work!!

If you or your child are struggling and need some support right now, please reach out. My door is open.

One thing that I know for sure is that if we (parents) are not ok, our kiddos don't stand a chance. I also know that for many parents, this time of year can be very stressful.🎄

We wear many hats, us parents and we are the magic makers, the cleaner uppers, the caregivers, the cooks, the snugglers, the cleaners, the gift wrappers, the elf orchestrators (some of us 😉), the chauffeurs... we do a lot. So please, let this be a reminder....if it feels like a lot right now, it is because it is a lot. 😵‍💫

I encourage you to find some time to do something for you, to fill your own cup, lean into some joy because when you do, you are so much kinder to yourself and your kids get a better version of you too.💞

Be gentle with yourself...these next few weeks can feel like a rollercoaster!! 🎢

Let's chat about validation...

I am going to say that lack of validation is one of the most harmful weapons in raising kids.

So many clients that I work with have shared that they wished that their parent(s) saw them, or took the time to listen or even just show up. I think we as parents can get tied up in the providing of the environment that we forget to provide for the emotional and mental aspects of our children.

All people want to know is that they are seen, that they are heard and that they matter, and this is one area that we have to show them and not just tell them.

❤️ if you agree.

The greatest currency in this human experience is time. 🕰

💞 When we give our time the exchange is connection and I am not sure there is anything greater...especially in this parenting journey.

The relationship we have with our kiddos depends on the quality of our connection...just like wifi...can be a bit spotty. When we are able to give time, and connect the lines are clear. Heart to heart. 💕

What is your fave way to connect with your child(ren)???

Where are my stuffers at?? 🙋‍♀️

Managing emotions is not repressing emotions...we don't want to hold them all in. We do want to learn how to manage them...all of them because to believe that we do not have anger and/or sadness is to ignore that we have a heart beat. As humans we have allllllll the emotions. ❤️

Don't deny the emotion, learn to manage it.

What emotions is the most uncomfortable to feel??

Narrative, Play and art therapy are wonderful therapeutic modalities especially when working with kiddos. 💞

For many children (and adults too) there are no words that can accurately express emotion and so we can use these other techniques to help teach inner awareness, emotional regulation and emotional processing. 💗

Working with kiddos is near and dear to my heart and when we can find a lane where they feel free to express, it can feel like a golden ticket...for parents and for the kiddo themselves.💕

One of the things that I have been asked so so many times is this. ⬇️

Is there much difference between inperson therapy and virtual therapy?

Here is my answer...
It really is personal preference and what I have found is that once safety and trust are established both are equally effective.💞

The success factor of any therapy is the strength of the connection between client and therapist. This is the main reason I always do a free consult prior to booking a first session. If you do not feel comfortable or safely held then what the heck are we doing. 🙃 This is first and foremost!!

➡️ If you are curious about therapy, or have been feeling the nudge, I would love to chat. My door is always open. 💗

Listening is one of the highest forms of love. When we listen to the little stuff, there will be a sense of safety to share the big stuff. 💞

It is tough, especially as a parent to listen without trying to fix, or to respond. To just witness, to bite our tongues and to really hold space is a practice. 💗

Start small, find something small to take interest in...something to just listen to. In this we will find direct connection and also when we have connection we have influence and they have safety. Which is a win win all around.

What is one little thing that you find soooooo painful to listen to your child share about??? 🙃

If there was one thing that I have learned in my professional career as well as my life as a mama it is this. ⬇

We need to look past the behaviour.

Now don't get this wrong, it certainly does not mean that we ignore the behaviour or that we allow or accept it. Moreover it means that we think of it as a symptom and we get curious about what need is needing to be met.

Easy?? Heck no!!! It is a practice of noticing, of managing our own reactions and feelings toward the behaviour and holding safe space for our kiddos. 💞

➡️ For tips and tricks on managing YOUR nervous system (when you are close to loosing your sh*t) when things feel they are going off track, comment NEED below and I will send you the resource.
