The holidays mean full airports, long lines, and sometimes anxious travelers. If you or your child worry about flying, try setting up coping tools before your trip even begins.

Explain what the plane experience will be like, decide on a calming strategy you’ll use together, and remind them of the fun waiting for you once you land.

Small steps toward predictability can bring big comfort during holiday travel. ❤️✈️

When we slow down and really listen to our kids, something powerful happens. They stop bracing for correction and start opening up. Listening shows them that their voice matters, their feelings are safe, and we can handle what they need to say.

It’s not about having the right response. It’s about creating the kind of safety that makes them want to keep talking. 💚

Emotional check-ins don’t have to be heavy. Sometimes it’s a gentle question, a simple game, or sitting together in quiet. It’s those small daily moments that help kids feel seen and safe to share. 💬

When kids play out scenes that look aggressive, confusing, or even hurtful, it’s not necessarily a reflection of you or your parenting.

It’s their way of exploring emotions safely through pretend.

Try not to personalize the story. Ask questions, stay curious, and see what your child’s play is trying to tell you. 💛

If your child came home with a mountain of candy (and you’re already calculating the sugar intake 😅), try turning it into an opportunity for giving.

Many dentists and local organizations accept candy donations — and involving your child in that choice helps them see kindness in action. A little less sugar, a little more heart. 🍭

When siblings clash, whether it’s over toys or Halloween candy, our instinct is often to jump in and protect the “victim.” But in doing so, we can miss a powerful teaching moment. 💛

Take a breath. Separate calmly. Give both children space, and a voice.

When they feel heard, they learn how to solve problems together (not against each other).

If your child has ADHD and is struggling in school, they don’t have to do it alone. There are real options and support available such as a 504 plan.📚

A 504 plan can provide the structure, flexibility, and understanding your child needs to succeed, all the way through college. This ADHD Awareness Month, let’s spread the word that help exists, and every student deserves to feel successful. 💛

If your child struggles to sit still, it doesn’t mean they’re misbehaving. It means their brain and body need a little extra support to stay engaged. 🌟

This ADHD Awareness Month, let’s shift the focus from “why can’t they sit still?” to “how can we help them focus?”

Small changes — like a wobble cushion, fidget, or foot band — can make a big difference in your child’s day.

What’s your biggest challenge in helping your child focus at school?

Pretend play gives children a safe bridge between fear and curiosity — especially with food. 🍎 When a picky eater “makes” a sandwich or “serves” fruit in play, they’re exploring textures, colors, and combinations without the pressure to actually eat.

When we join their pretend world without correction or reminders, we help them build comfort and familiarity — two essential steps toward real-life progress.

Do you ever join in pretend play with your child? 🚂

As parents, it’s easy to jump in when one child upsets another — but that moment can actually be a beautiful teaching opportunity. Instead of scolding, invite curiosity: “What do you think your sibling’s tears are trying to tell us?”

By slowing down and helping your child notice emotional cues, you’re teaching empathy, not just discipline. 💚

October is ADHD Awareness Month, and I want to remind you: ADHD is not a limitation. ✨

Kids with ADHD need structure, consistency, and connection more than anything else. When we meet them with encouragement instead of punishment, we help them shine at school and at home. 🌟
