This may seem small, but remember our kids are watching and listening. They pick up on all of the things

How are you responding to your children's mistakes, failures etc...?

Remember, just because kids get into trouble a lot doesn't mean they are a bad kid, it means that they are a good kid that makes bad choices sometimes.

What narratives were created for you as a child? How has your life been shaped because of them? Keep this in mind when around not only your own kids but any kid you interact with ❤️

We’re raising kids in a world that is louder, faster, and more overwhelming than ever before.

Emotional security isn’t about preventing meltdowns—it’s about being a safe place through them.

February is all about love, so let's love our kids through their pain ❤️

✨ New blog: How to Raise Emotionally Secure Kids in an Overstimulating World👇🏼

We are raising children in a world that is louder, faster, and more demanding than ever before. Screens are everywhere. Schedules are packed. Expectations—both spoken and unspoken—are high. For many kids, especially those who are emotionally sensitive or neurodivergent, the constant stimulation ...

❄️ Snowed In? Let Connection Be the Goal — Not Perfection

We have been stuck inside longer than expected...
The routines are off
The energy is high
The patience is low

And if you’re parenting right now, you’re probably wondering:
“How are we supposed to survive this?”

Here’s your gentle reminder from a counselor:
👉 You don’t need to entertain your kids all day.
👉 You don’t need a perfect schedule.
👉 You don’t need Pinterest-level activities.

What your kids need most — especially during long indoor days — is connection.
Here are a few simple ways to connect while stuck inside:
❄️ Move together
Dance breaks, hallway races, yoga videos, or obstacle courses help regulate winter wiggles.
❄️ Lower the bar
Pick one intentional connection moment — not a full day of activities.
❄️ Do ordinary things together
Bake, fold laundry, build Legos, or cook dinner side by side. Connection doesn’t require a craft bin.
❄️ Play their way
Let your child choose the game — even if it makes zero sense to you.
❄️ Laugh on purpose
Silly voices, jokes, or family challenges calm nervous systems faster than lectures.
❄️ Create predictability
A loose plan like “morning move • midday quiet • afternoon fun” helps kids feel safe.
And when tensions rise (because they will):
✨ Connection before correction.
✨ Regulation before reasoning.
✨ Grace over perfection.

Snow days don’t have to be magical 👏🏼

Thanks to the happiness project for these graphics

I use this analogy with all of the kids I see and they really love it 😂

I mean, it definitely helps make sense of why it is so important to feel your emotions and handle them accordingly lol

So maybe this is something you can share with your kids when it comes to helping them regulate 👍🏼

Whether you are a parent or work with kids this is for you!

As we transition back to our routines and the kids go back to school I wanted to post a helpful reminder

We cannot expect kids, especially our neurodivergent kiddos to just fall right back into the beat of things.

Provide connection, set expectations and move with Grace 👍🏼👏🏼

You got this! Happy New year! 🎊
