As November marks Early Childhood Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s the perfect time to remember that one of the most powerful tools for supporting children’s emotional well-being is play. With the upcoming holiday season bringing excitement — and sometimes stress — for both parents and children, playtime becomes even more important.

Play isn’t just fun; it’s how children process emotions, build resilience, and strengthen their relationships. Through play, kids express feelings they can’t always put into words, develop problem-solving skills, and feel a sense of control in their world. Whether it’s imaginative storytelling, building blocks, or outdoor adventures, play gives children space to explore, connect, and grow.

For parents, joining in play can be a mindful way to de-stress and reconnect — reminding us that joy and curiosity are powerful antidotes to the chaos of busy schedules. This holiday season, let’s slow down, create moments of laughter, and prioritize play over perfection.

✨ In the comments, share how you plan to make time for play and connection with your children this season. Let’s celebrate the magic of play — because when children play, their minds and hearts thrive. 💕

💛 November is Early Childhood Mental Health Awareness Month — a time to reflect on how we nurture not just our children’s development, but their emotional well-being too. As the holiday season approaches — a time filled with excitement, change, and sometimes stress — it’s important to remember that children often express big feelings through tears, not words.

When your child won’t stop crying, it can feel overwhelming. But beneath the tears is a message: “I need help feeling safe again.” Instead of trying to stop the crying, focus on calming the storm together. Sit with them, speak softly, and reassure them that their feelings are okay. Your calm presence teaches them how to regulate their emotions — one of the most powerful lessons you can give.

The holidays can heighten children’s emotions with new routines, visitors, and sensory overload. Responding with empathy rather than frustration helps them feel seen and understood, strengthening your bond and building emotional resilience. 💛

Let’s use this season to model compassion, patience, and presence. How do you help your child calm down when emotions run high? Share your insights in the comments — your approach might help another parent find peace this season. 🌟

As the holiday season approaches, excitement and joy often come hand-in-hand with increased stress — especially for parents balancing work, family, and endless to-do lists. Today is National Stress Awareness Day which is the perfect reminder to pause and prioritize emotional self-care, both for ourselves and for our children.

Emotional self-care isn’t about perfection — it’s about being present. Maintaining healthy boundaries helps protect your energy and model balance for your children. Taking time to connect with your kids — through conversation, play, or shared quiet moments — builds emotional safety and strengthens your bond. Allowing yourself (and your children) to feel your feelings teaches that all emotions are valid and manageable. And something as simple as writing a gratitude list can shift focus from overwhelm to appreciation, creating moments of calm amid chaos.

This season, let’s remember: caring for our emotional well-being is not selfish — it’s essential. When parents practice emotional self-care, children learn to do the same. 🌿💫

“All sessions were impactful and helpful! My biggest takeaway – community care is counter culture and powerful. It erodes the lone hero myth and parcels out the wellbeing of ourselves and our neighbor into doable, skilled practices of kindness, compassion, and love.” – Cohort 1 Participant

Community Care Collective Testimonial

“The layering of financial trauma on top of trauma-informed care has permeated my thinking in the days since the training. This session opened my eyes to something that should have been obvious but was hidden by more blatant traumas. Financial trauma undergirds so much of my inherited trauma, my own history, my interpersonal relationships, and my community's suffering. Awareness of this was a powerful revelation.” – Cohort 1 Participant
