Big holidays can bring big feelings. If your child gets overwhelmed or overstimulated this season, you’re not alone.
Here are a few gentle ways to support them through the celebrations.

In my work I’ve seen children who can’t yet tell you how they feel — but their bodies can. Their movements, their posture, their play carry meaning.
Supporting children through movement means giving them a safe space to express what’s inside, to integrate body, mind and spirit.
As a parent: give them permission. Pick up the pace, slow it down, let them choose the rhythm.
You’ll be amazed how much they reveal when you stop asking for words and invite movement.
Their story matters. Their expression matters. Let them be heard.

Hi, I’m Dr. Lori Baudino 👋 child psychologist, dance/movement therapist, and believer that healing doesn’t always have to sit still.
I help kids (and their parents!) navigate big feelings through movement, play, and creativity because sometimes, the best way to process emotion is to move through it.
Whether I’m in the therapy room or dancing in the kitchen, my work is all about helping children reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and confidence — one step (or spin!) at a time. 
And since it’s been a while… let’s make this fun with a little Q&A ⬇️
✨ Favorite childhood memory: 
Using my imagination to explore the woods and nature with my best friends, making up stories, dancing with fairies, and laughing a lot! 
✨ Favorite movie: 
Too many- I’m simple I love a sweet rom com. 
✨ Go-to comfort food: 
Probably peanut butter and frozen strawberries. 
✨ City that inspires me most: 
Too many- favorite thing to do is travel with over 30 countries and more to see. 
✨ Favorite way to move: 
With indulgence - I’m a jazz, contemporary fosse dancer at heart - but no way to mess up movement so I welcome all opportunities to move!  
✨ One thing people are surprised to learn about me: 
Played lacrosse in college.

I had the privilege of joining The Parenting Coach Podcast a few months ago to talk about how the body, mind, and spirit are deeply interconnected — and how creating a healthy, healing space starts with truly seeing children as the wise souls they are. When we trust that they know what their bodies need, everything begins to shift.

A butterfly’s transformation reminds us that growth often happens quietly, in stages we can’t always see.
In therapy, children explore and move through their emotions — shedding what no longer serves them and emerging stronger, more confident and more themselves.

Therapy isn’t always sitting still. It can mean jumping, twirling and discovering through movement. 🌀

Children often express what they feel through their bodies long before they can put it into words. Movement and play give them a safe, creative way to explore big emotions, build confidence, and develop self-regulation. When a child moves, they’re not just “playing” they’re learning how to navigate their inner world.

Through dance and play, we help kids connect the dots between emotion and action — learning how to release frustration, find calm, and feel proud of their growing sense of self.

Try this at home: Have your child “lounge like a tired tree,” then slowly stretch into a sunflower reaching for the sun. Notice what shifts in their body language and mood.

Movement is communication. It’s confidence. It’s healing.

Confidence isn’t just built by praising what children already do right - it’s built by letting them explore, make mistakes, and move through that process.

Every child deserves a sense of safety and belonging.
Let’s take time to remove labels and support kids in learning how to:
✨ Accept differences
✨ Manage frustration
✨ Communicate with empathy

These are all part of developing strong executive functioning skills and they’re learned through connection.

Let’s guide kids toward being pro-connectors today and every day.
