Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and actions all interact, and how changing one can improve the others.

CBT is effective for managing depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and more, giving you tools to navigate life with greater balance and control.

Sometimes we expect kids to behave or know things that aren’t age-appropriate.

Parents naturally want their kids to succeed, but expecting perfection or advanced skills too early can create unnecessary stress for both you and your child.

Examples of things that are normal at certain ages:
- Tantrums in toddlers
- Struggling with homework in early elementary
- Forgetting to share or take turns
- Difficulty managing strong emotions in preteens

Children develop skills gradually. Their brains and emotions are still growing, so what seems obvious to an adult might be completely new to them.

Shift your perspective. Instead of frustration, try:

✅ Patience
✅ Clear guidance
✅ Encouragement for effort over perfection
✅ Recognizing small milestones

Understanding what’s developmentally normal helps you support your child with realistic expectations and helps them feel confident, capable, and loved. ❤️

Every child communicates in their own way, and sometimes words aren’t enough.

If your child is struggling, here’s how to know if play therapy might help.

Signs to Look For:

🌟Big Emotions – frequent meltdowns, frustration, or sadness that seems hard to manage.
🌟Withdrawal – pulling away from friends or activities they used to enjoy.
🌟Behavior Changes – trouble at school, more conflicts at home, or trouble sleeping.

Play therapy gives kids a safe space to express themselves, build coping skills, and feel understood.

A child’s behavior is never just “bad,” it’s a message.�

It can be a sign of overwhelm, confusion, unmet needs, or big emotions they don’t yet know how to handle.

When we pause to understand rather than react, we create a foundation of trust and safety that supports real growth and healing. 💛

👉 If your child is struggling with big feelings or behaviors, therapy can help.

We all reach for our phones to check out, calm down, or catch up. But studies show that frequent phone use around kids can impact their behavior and emotional development.

A study in Pediatrics found that when parents are often on their phones, they’re less emotionally available.�
👉 Less eye contact�
👉 Fewer shared moments�
👉 Delayed or missed emotional cues

Children notice. And when they feel dismissed or ignored, they may:�
- Act out more�
- Struggle with big emotions�
- Seek attention in unhelpful ways

Researchers call this technoference—technology interfering with connection.�Even a few distracted minutes can affect a child’s sense of safety and belonging.

Try small shifts:
- Pause notifications during playtime�
- Create “phone-free” zones (like dinner or bedtime)�
- Name your own feelings to model emotional awareness�
- Give full attention in short bursts—those minutes matter

This isn’t about guilt, it’s about awareness. 💛

Even small moments of presence can build connection and resilience in your child.

Struggling with connection or behavior challenges? Therapy can help your child, and you, build stronger emotional skills.�

During a meltdown, a child’s brain is in a state of emotional overload.

The part of the brain responsible for reasoning and problem-solving—the prefrontal cortex—is temporarily “offline.” In this heightened state, they’re operating mostly from the emotional center of the brain, known as the amygdala.

This means they’re not in a place to process logic, instructions, or even comfort in the way they normally would. It's not defiance, it’s a stress response.

The best approach is to stay calm, provide safety, and give them time to regulate. Once their nervous system settles, the thinking part of the brain can re-engage and that’s when meaningful conversation and learning can happen.

➡️ Calm now, talk later; be their calm until they find theirs.
