Happy Holidays from the Compassionate Solutions family to yours! Have the merriest of days!

12/22/2025

The holiday season arrives with a unique blend of joy, pressure, nostalgia, and expectations. For many of us, this time of year brings both warmth and stress: gatherings to plan, emotions to navigate, and a pace that feels faster than the rest of the year combined.
If this season brings mixed feelings, you’re not alone. Here’s a compassionate approach to handling the holidays with intention, balance, and care.

Ready to start the new year with focus and structure? ✨ Here’s a quick reset checklist:
✅ Clear your workspace.
✅ Pick one system to simplify (email, tasks, or schedule).
✅ Choose one new habit, not five.
Small wins create momentum — and momentum creates confidence.
Our executive function coach can help you design a system that fits your life.

The holidays can be beautiful — and heavy. 🎁 If you’re feeling lonely or disconnected, try these gentle steps:
1️⃣ Reach out first — even a text can invite connection.
2️⃣ Create small traditions that bring you peace.
3️⃣ Let go of “shoulds” — there’s no right way to feel this time of year.
Compassionate Solutions offers counseling and therapy to help you navigate this season with care and self-compassion. Reach out when you're ready.

Executive function isn’t just about planners — it’s how we do life. Here’s how to strengthen it daily:
🧭 Plan backward — start from your deadline and work back to today.
🕒 Use visual timers (great for kids and adults).
🗓️ Build a “reset ritual” — review your day, note one win, and prep for tomorrow.
Small habits = lasting change.
Looking to work with a professional to strengthen your or your child's executive skills? Let's get started:

Executive function counseling can help strengthen a person's executive function skills and assist them in building new goals and habits.

Learning doesn’t pause for winter break, but pressure doesn’t have to increase, either. ⛄ Our tutors focus on skill-building, helping students strengthen reading, writing, and executive function while keeping it fun.
✨ Pro tip: Use December to review, not cram. A calm, confident learner remembers more.

December can feel like a marathon of responsibilities and emotions. 🎄 Here are three ways to bring calm back into your days:
1️⃣ Prioritize “must-do” vs. “nice-to-do” — clarity reduces guilt.
2️⃣ Create 10-minute quiet corners in your day (stretch, journal, or simply breathe).
3️⃣ Ask for help early — small requests create opportunities for connection, not burden.
If you’re feeling stretched thin, our counseling and coaching teams can help you find balance this season. 💛

Gratitude is more than a feeling — it’s a mindset and a practice that can transform the way we experience life.

At Compassionate Solutions, we often see how practicing gratitude can strengthen mental health, improve relationships, and build resilience. 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.

Check out the new blog post for more info on IQ testing for children.

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.
