It's summer! It's warm, the sun's out (sometimes 🙃), new opportunities are arising.. but! Have you checked in with yourself lately? ✅

Ensuring that we are checking in with ourselves and paying attention to our needs helps us not only feel better in the warm months but also has us practicing to be able to maintain our mental well-being when we break out the snow shovels again! ☀️🌨️

Don't forget to treat yourself like a baby! Feed, hydrate, and pay attention to yourself as you would a newborn baby. You need you too!! 🍼🥰

We often think about peace and happiness as adding more to life. But sometimes it's about less, cutting unnecessary things, people and choosing to not react to them.

A common misconception about starting therapy is that we only need it when we are in crisis. In reality, a proactive approach with skill building is always better than a reactive one!

We all make mistakes as parents- every single one of us. Repair is so vitally important-- children need to know when we mess up. They need to see their pain acknowledged and they also need a model for how to make amends.
