Here’s the next installment of my child development series! 💃 My hope is that understanding what’s socially and emotionally normal in children can take some of the confusing guess work out of parenting 🥴.

Knowing what’s typical at each age can:
🩵reduce unnecessary anxiety
🩵normalize big behaviors and big feelings
🩵 help parents and caregivers respond with more confidence
🩵 clarify what’s worth watching so real concerns aren’t missed

Stay tuned for other age groups if this one doesn’t apply to you! 😎

🔗 P.S. If you’d like a printer-friendly version of this flyer, you can find it in my Etsy store (link in my bio).

🍾 I’m kicking off a new series of sharing developmental info by age! 😍 My hope is that understanding what’s normal can take some of the confusing guess work out of parenting.

Knowing what’s typical at each age can:
🩵reduce unnecessary anxiety
🩵normalize big behaviors and big feelings
🩵 help parents and caregivers respond with more confidence
🩵 clarify what’s worth watching so real concerns aren’t missed

So, stay tuned for other age groups if this one doesn’t apply to you! But if I could sum up 3 year olds in one sentence, it would be: big feelings and big ideas in little bodies. 🤯

This is the best job in the world. It is often light and fun, but it’s also often sad, heart-breaking, difficult work. It’s an honor to help vulnerable children and teens ❤️

During International Play Therapy Week, it feels especially important to say this out loud:

Children don’t grow up in a vacuum. Their nervous systems are shaped by the world around them: by safety and threat, belonging and exclusion, care and neglect. 😔

Supporting children’s emotional health means paying attention to the systems that protect them… and the ones that don’t. It means noticing who gets access to care, who is believed, and who is expected to carry more than their share. 💔

Child mental health cannot be separated from politics.

Mental health work is rooted in protecting attachment, dignity, and safety. We know what happens when caregivers are taken away. We know what happens when fear becomes chronic, and when children and teens lose their sense of safety. ➡️ You don’t get to masquerade as an empathetic helper while endorsing systems that traumatize families. ⬅️

Note: This is intended for those occasional sessions when a child or teen is tired and not feeling a big conversation or activity. 🥱 Consistent lethargy indicates a deeper problem (hypoarousal from trauma or depression, for example) and might be addressed differently. 🙂

This isn’t about law. It’s about who is granted humanity and who is denied it. You can never justify ripping children away from their parents or murdering people who’ve done nothing wrong 💔.
