Nurturing love – the kind of love that bubbles up from inside your soul – happens when you put exactly that kind of love into your child’s world. Day in. And day out.

Through the grand gestures, but also through all of the little ones. The tousle of their hair. The quiet wink at the school assembly. The surprise of an extra story at bedtime at the end of a rough day. The treat of their favourite meal when they didn’t even ask for it. The all-knowing embrace that is delivered without request because you saw the need for it in their eyes.

This is love.

IT ALL COMES DOWN TO SELF-WORTH. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
where was it defined for you? ⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
whether it be society, your parents, your school, your peer group, your family norms... something convinced you that your worth was attached to what you could produce, attain, or be. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
this is not all bad. it has motivated us at times. it has given us purpose. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
but it’s also been heavily laced with shame. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
here’s waking up:⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
it’s ok to relax. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
it’s ok to say no. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
it’s ok to let someone else do it. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
it’s ok to put it off until tomorrow. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
it’s ok to rest. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
it’s imperative to rest. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
yet, rest doesn’t come authentically until we can stop equating productivity with self-worth.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
let’s say it again. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
REST IS NOT WEAKNESS. YOU ARE NOT MORE WORTHY IF YOU ARE BUSY. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
they say the truth will set you free. yes yes. this is a big one. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
we are all looking to get free. mostly from our own inner voices that shame us - guided by old ideas that are no longer serving us.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
awareness is the first step. every moment of awakening matters. ⁣⁣⁣⁣if you are curious about the way i teach or how i can help you, click the link in my bio. give yourself the gift of better mental and physical health this season. it’s time for us to take back our power and feel F**KING GOOD. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Build that connection with your child. We all have bad days. Instead of invalidating and disciplining, let's work on listening and validating. When children are in distress, they don't take in your redirection for an undesirable behavior. Help them regulate, then address how they can better handle their emotions afterwards.

We are currently running two groups here at Maple Grove Counseling; Clay Therapy Group and Girls Empowerment Group. You do not have to be receiving individual services to attend group sessions! We are also looking to make sure we are meeting the needs of our community, so what groups would interest you if were started at Maple Grove Counseling?!
