🌟 TOPY Family Spotlight: Growing Gratitude at Home 🌟
Helping kids build emotional intelligence starts with small, meaningful moments—and gratitude is one of the most powerful places to begin.

At TOPY, we coach students to notice the good, name their feelings, and strengthen the habits that help them stay grounded, kind, and connected. Families can do the same at home with simple, daily practices. ❤️

🌱 How to Build Gratitude With Your Child (TOPY Style!)

1. Name the Good Together
During dinner or bedtime, ask:
✨ “What’s one thing that made you feel thankful today?”
This helps children practice awareness and emotional expression—core pieces of SEL growth.

2. Catch the Kindness
Notice the small helpful moments: sharing a toy, feeding the pet, helping a sibling.
✨ “I saw that! That was thoughtful.”
Positive reinforcement strengthens empathy and relationship skills.

3. The TOPY Two-Minute Pause
Take a short break with your child and guide them to look around the room. Ask them to choose three things they’re grateful for and explain why.
🌈 This builds calming skills, self-regulation, and optimism.

4. Gratitude Notes (Kid Edition!)
Invite your child to write or draw a note for someone who helped them today—a teacher, friend, coach, or sibling.
📝 This boosts connection, confidence, and communication.

💛 A Gentle Reminder for Parents

Gratitude grows through modeling. When you name your own moments of thankfulness, your child learns to do the same.

✨ “I’m grateful for the time we spent together today.”
✨ “I noticed you tried really hard—thank you.”

Small words make a big difference

🌟 TOPY Encourages Families to Grow Together

At TOPY, we believe gratitude is more than a feeling—it’s a skill. A practice. A mindset. And it’s one of the most protective tools for emotional resilience.

You’re doing amazing, and your child is learning from you every day.
Let’s continue building emotionally strong, confident, and connected kids—together. 💛

When emotions run high, pause and co-regulate.

🦋 The Butterfly Hug is a mindful way to connect and calm—side by side with your child or on your own.
Cross your arms, tap gently, and breathe through the moment together.

🌟 Parenting Insight of the Week: Respect vs. Rebellion 🌟

Every parent has been there, your child rolls their eyes, stomps off, or mutters under their breath. 😤 The question is… when does that cross the line from frustration to disrespect?

At Topy, we remind parents that not all pushback is defiance. Sometimes, a child’s “attitude” is really a sign of healthy independence, testing limits, expressing big feelings, and learning how to handle frustration.

👉 Here’s the key difference:
• Eye-rolling, sighing, or “That’s not fair!” moments = emotional growing pains.
• Name-calling, yelling, or belittling others = true disrespect that needs a calm, consistent response.

💡 Tip: When your child reacts emotionally, try not to take it personally. Instead of “You’re disrespecting me,” try “I understand you’re upset, but that tone isn’t okay. Let’s take a break and talk it through.”
This keeps your authority intact, without turning the moment into a power struggle.

✨ Respect begins at home.
When kids see us respond with calmness, empathy, and boundaries, they learn that strength and respect go hand in hand.

If you’re navigating big emotions or challenging behaviors at home, our social-emotional coaching sessions can help your child build self-awareness, self-management, and respectful communication skills, all while keeping connection at the center. 💛

🧡 Topy Tip of the Week: The Tap Out Plan 🧡

(For parents and caregivers)

Even the most patient parent needs a moment to recharge.
Remember: You can’t co-regulate when you’re running on empty.

When a meltdown happens and you feel yourself becoming dysregulated tap out and let your partner (or another adult) step in.
It’s not giving up; it’s protecting your connection.

✨ Try this Tap Out Plan:
1️⃣ Use nonverbal signals – Decide on a subtle cue (a hand gesture, eye contact, or a word) that means “I need a break.”
2️⃣ Ground yourself – Step away, take a deep breath, and reset.
3️⃣ Create a calming script – Try saying:

“You’re safe. I’m here. We’ll get through this together.”

💛 Calm is contagious.
Protect your peace. Protect your connection.

🌟 3 Quick Ways to Support Your Child’s Social & Emotional Growth at Home 🌟

1️⃣ Name the Feeling – When your child is upset, help them put words to emotions (“You’re feeling frustrated because…”). Naming feelings reduces stress.

2️⃣ Practice the Pause – Teach your child to stop, breathe, and count to three before reacting. This builds self-control and problem-solving skills.

3️⃣ Model Calm – Kids mirror what they see. Taking a calm breath yourself shows them how to manage tough emotions.

💡 Small shifts like these build resilience, but many kids need extra support to thrive.
