The holidays can bring joy—but they can also bring pressure, exhaustion, and a whole lot of expectations. ❤️‍🩹
If you’re feeling stretched thin, you’re not alone.

These gentle reminders can help keep the season grounded in what truly matters: connection, presence, and moments of calm. ✨

Small shifts—like keeping routines steady, embracing imperfection, and choosing simple traditions—can make the biggest difference for you and your child.

Let this be the year you slow down, breathe, and enjoy the meaningful moments (even the messy ones). 💛

Grief can feel especially tender during the holidays. If you’re navigating loss this season, we hope you’re able to give yourself patience, rest, and space to feel what you feel. You’re not alone, and support is always within reach.

As parents, it can be hard to know when to intervene and when to give kids space to figure it out.
But here’s the truth ⤵️
If the situation is unsafe → step in.
If learning is happening → step back.
If they become overwhelmed → step in with support.

Children need practice to build frustration tolerance, problem-solving skills and confidence…
but they also need us to step in when things move from growth to distress.

You don’t have to get it right every time.
Just staying curious and observing before reacting is already powerful parenting. 💛

Save this for later — and share it with someone who needs the reminder today.

For more practical tools to support emotional development, resilience and connection, my book Guidance from The Therapist Parent is available on www.thetherapistparent.com and on Amazon. 📘✨
