Sometimes children are asking in the only way they know how, "Do you still love me as much as you did when I was tiny and new?" ❤️

This is the voice of a child living with PDA and high anxiety.

A child who wants to do the right thing — but whose nervous system goes into threat when demands feel overwhelming.

Behaviour like avoidance, refusal, or shutdown is not a lack of care or effort.
It is anxiety, fear, and a body trying to stay safe.

When we shift from pressure to connection, from control to collaboration, everything changes.

When a child is melting down, our instincts can take over — and not always the helpful ones.
We might lecture, rush to fix, or tell them to calm down… but these actually block co-regulation rather than build it.

Let’s talk about what not to do — and what to try instead — so we can truly help a child borrow our calm instead of our chaos.

Sigh! Don't forget those coping skills and self-care!

When we shout, it’s usually because we’re overwhelmed — not because our child is “too much”.

And the good news? Repair is powerful. It teaches your child that relationships can wobble and still feel safe.

If you’ve raised your voice today, you haven’t “failed”. You’ve had a human moment. What matters most is what comes next.

It’s also a brilliant way to model emotional regulation, showing your young person what it looks like to own mistakes with warmth and courage.

Times are especially challenging for our seniors right now. With local food pantries stretched thin and ongoing SNAP benefit hurdles, many older adults are struggling to meet even their basic needs.
You can help by supporting our Warming Tree Project — a heartfelt effort to ensure every senior is remembered and cared for this holiday season. ❤️🎄We’ve extended the deadline for donations to ensure our homebound elderly neighbors with Meals On Wheels receive the warmth and comfort they deserve.
Our Warming Tree needs your help more than ever! Please consider donating new socks, blankets, jackets, pajamas, slippers, small space heaters, hygiene items, or gift cards. Every item makes a real difference in the life of a senior who may otherwise go without.
Thank you for helping us spread kindness and warmth throughout our community!
