Hi! Kamusta ang araw mo?
Tired? Stressed out? Feeling the pressure from the holiday rush?
Halika, hinga muna tayo. 🌱

𝑩𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒏… 𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒅… 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕.
This simple pause helps ground us.

Now gently ask yourself:
“𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐦 𝐈 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲?” 🩷

Practicing gratitude each day can be deeply beneficial. It brings us back to mindfulness and presence—two things we easily lose in the busyness of life. 😌

Remember: 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞, 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲.

Your child’s emotional and psychological well-being is as important as yours.

Children are observant — they see you, they feel you, and they sense more than we realize. Prioritizing your mental health and practicing self-compassion are essential, because your own well-being reflects the way you parent.

A disorganized and dysregulated parent can unintentionally contribute to a dysfunctional family dynamic, which may significantly impact a child’s development. Meanwhile, an empathetic, regulated, and compassionate parent fosters a healthier connection and relationship with their child — a foundation that is vital for their growth and emotional resilience.

Choose healing. Choose compassion. Choose a healthier you, for you and for them. 💗🌿

November is National Children’s Month 👧👦

When you address your child’s emotional meltdown, you are not spoiling them. It means you understand that your child is struggling to regulate their emotions — and your calm, supportive response means the world to them. 💗

Remember, we are nurturing their minds and hearts. Building a strong emotional connection before correcting misbehavior helps children grow into healthier, more compassionate individuals — just as they deserve to be. 🌿

Never justify the acts of bullying ⚠️
By definition, bullying is intentional and repeated behavior that causes physical, emotional, or psychological harm. There is an intent to harm, which means bullying is not a mistake — it is purposeful and occurs more than once.

If you witness bullying, we encourage you to speak up. 📣
If you are experiencing it, please remember: you are not alone. 🩷 Reach out for support.

This is a gentle reminder that we never truly know the battles others are facing.
Let us always choose kindness. Let us choose empathy. 🤍

The scariest ghosts are the feelings we ignore.
Reach out — you’re not alone in facing them.

As we honor the saints and souls we’ve lost, let’s also care for those still struggling. Reach out, listen, and remind someone they’re not alone.

Mental health is not tangible. We never truly know what someone is going through until they find the courage to seek support. Please take this seriously—mental health conditions are not something people simply choose to have. There are several factors that may contribute to a person’s struggles.

This is a gentle reminder to educate ourselves before we speak. Our words hold power, and we may never realize how deeply they can affect someone.

We all have our own battles to fight. May we always choose empathy and offer support with compassion. 🤍

🌪️ Calamities & Natural Disasters are unpredictable.

Children experience disasters differently from adults because their sense of safety, control, and understanding of events are still developing. Their reactions depend on age, developmental level, personality, previous experiences, and the reactions of caregivers around them.

While having “Go Bags” ready is essential for our physical safety, we also need to prepare emotionally and mentally. Disasters don’t just shake our surroundings — they can deeply affect our sense of security, especially in children.

Key Takeaway:
💡 Children look to adults as emotional anchors. How parents/caregivers react greatly shapes children’s recovery.
💡 Calm, supportive, and reassuring behavior fosters resilience.
💡 Children are naturally resilient when they are heard, comforted, and guided through their emotions.
💡Recovery begins with a caring adult who helps them feel safe again.
