Whether you’re facing challenges or simply moving through the everyday ups and downs of life, cultivating thankfulness is a gentle but powerful way to care for your emotional well-being.

Parents often wonder if an IQ test could help them better understand their child’s learning profile. Maybe a teacher has suggested testing, or you’ve noticed that your child seems to grasp some concepts quickly while struggling in other areas. IQ testing can provide valuable insight—but it’s not without limitations.

Holiday schedules can push us off balance — here are three simple grounding practices:
🔸 Pause before meals: take 3 deep breaths, name one thing you’re thankful for.
🔸 Use your senses: walk outside for 2 minutes and name 3 things you see, hear, or smell.
🔸 Set realistic expectations: one thing you say yes to, one thing you say no to.
At Compassionate Solutions, compassion starts with giving yourself grace and the tools you need to thrive.

The holidays bring joy …and sometimes tension. If you’re headed into gatherings and already feeling a knot in your stomach, here are three communication tips to keep in mind:
1️⃣ Use “I” statements: “I feel …” instead of “You always …”
2️⃣ Ask: “How can we make this work for both of us?”
3️⃣ Set boundaries early: “I’ll join for dessert and leave by 8 pm.”
Our counseling team helps families navigate conflict with compassion, so you can enjoy connection instead of fear.

Feeling scattered, behind, or overwhelmed by everything you need to accomplish or juggle? Here are three practical tips to boost your executive function today:
1️⃣ Use a “brain dump” list each morning — write down everything you need to remember. This frees up your mind, lowers stress, and helps you stay organized.
2️⃣ Try 15‑minute sprints to tackle smaller tasks or break up large, boring tasks.
3️⃣ Schedule one consistent “power hour” each week for planning, reviewing progress, and resetting.

📚 Tutoring isn’t just doing homework — when it’s done right, it addresses how a student learns. Here are two signs your student might benefit from tutoring:
✔️ They read words correctly but don’t understand what they read.
✔️ They avoid starting assignments because they’re unsure how to begin.
Our tutoring services work alongside our assessments and coaching to give students strategies that stick.

This October, remember: taking off the mask and being your true self is a powerful act of self-care. ✨
