Never forget: you know your child best! The holidays can bring out some seriously unwanted advice from family members and friends. Critiques and opinions on your parenting style can be harsh during an already stressful time. Stay calm and collected, but firm in responding. You’re the one raising your child, not these others with strong opinions! You can stand your ground, but remain polite and civil. That way, everyone can just focus on the holidays and spending time together.

Happy Holidays from all of us at The Baker Center! We wish you a safe and joyful season.

The season of giving is the perfect time to inspire kindness and altruism in your kids! Before Christmas, try going through some of your kid’s old toys and let them pick out a few to donate. This is a great opportunity to teach lessons about sharing and giving to those in need and comes with the bonus perk of clearing out some clutter before new toys arrive on Christmas Day 🎁

Daniel’s story is a powerful reminder of why your support matters. When he first came to The Baker Center, his family described him as “a shell of himself.” Overwhelmed by anxiety and depression, he struggled to make eye contact, connect with others, or simply feel safe in his own world.

Through the evidence-based care he received at our Center for Effective Therapy and the compassion of his clinician, Daniel slowly began to heal. He opened up. He reconnected. He found hope again. His mom shared, “He is able to be a person now… The change is night and day.”

Stories like Daniel’s are only possible because of generous supporters like you.

Your gift today ensures more children get the help they need tomorrow. Read Daniel’s full story: bakercenter.org/daniels-story
