Can a chatbot really replace human connection? 🤔

While AI can offer validation, it can’t replicate the power of human co-regulation: the calming, grounding effect we experience through real connection with others. ❤️

True emotional regulation happens in relationships, not algorithms.

In Oz, things aren’t always what they seem, and the same is true with feelings. ✨

Invite kids to explore what “good” really means, when it’s hard to stand up for what’s right, how it feels to be different, and why friendships matter.

These conversations help kids grow their courage, kindness, and connection — for good:

💚 How do we decide who is “good” or “wicked” in real life?
💖 Which character’s emotions do you most relate to? Why?
💚 Have you ever felt misunderstood like Elphaba? What helped you feel seen again?
💖 Sometimes, Glinda hides her real feelings behind positivity. Do you ever hide your feelings?

Did you know your brain and AI have something in common? Both rely on 'pruning' to grow smarter and more efficient! 🧠

But here’s the twist: spending more time chatting with AI than with people could actually change the way our brains develop. 🤖

AI is smart. Humans are connective. 🧠

Face-to-face laughs, hugs, and real talk boost empathy, emotional regulation, and feel-good chemicals.

Landlines are making a quiet comeback, and for good reason. 📞

1️⃣ A home phone can help kids build healthy relationships and stay connected without the distractions of smartphones.
2️⃣ No cellphone, no addictive notifications that give kids constant dopamine hits and withdrawals.
3️⃣ Landlines protect against social media risks like anxiety and depression by delaying access.

Did you know stuffed animals do more than offer cuddles? 🧸

🤗 Hugging provides proprioceptive input: gentle pressure on the body that helps us feel grounded and secure.
✋ Petting offers tactile input: engaging the sense of touch to calm and soothe.
🔄 Rocking activates the vestibular system: using movement to help the body feel balanced and regulated.

These fluffy friends are more than just cute; they’re powerful tools for emotional regulation! 🐻✨

Bullying can have lasting consequences, impacting mental health, relationships, and academic success. It also disrupts the development of essential life skills, such as social connections, emotional regulation, and resilience, which begin to form as early as Pre-K.

✅ Recognize and regulate their emotions
✅ Act as upstanders and support their peers
✅ Cultivate empathy and establish healthy boundaries
✅ Promote a culture of kindness and respect

Last weekend, we teamed up with Dallas Trinity FC as the Official Charitable Partner of the State Fair Clásico! ⚽

The action on the field wasn’t the only highlight—seeing the Momentous Institute name in motion was a powerful reminder of how sport and mental health can come together to create real impact. Here’s to making a difference both on and off the field! 💚

This isn’t a call to eliminate school safety protocols. It’s a call to include a mental health lens. 🧠

To shift from a model driven by compliance only to one integrating compassion, development and long-term well-being. To ask ourselves not just, “Are we safe?” but “Do our children and educators feel safe?”

Lockdown drills and alarms may prepare us for emergencies, but children experience these moments through their emotions and brains, not just procedures. When safety planning ignores this, students can leave feeling anxious, stressed, or unsafe.
