Even though ☀️ Florida doesn’t bring crisp air and falling leaves, our brains still feel seasonal shifts this time of year. As daylight hours shorten and schedules stay packed, both kids and adults may notice changes in energy, focus, or mood. 🍂

The brain’s internal clock (the circadian rhythm) is guided by light exposure. With earlier sunsets, we may produce more melatonin — leading to tiredness, distractibility, or mild mood dips. For children, this can show up as irritability, lower motivation, or difficulty getting going in the mornings. 🧠💛

Gentle adjustments can help the brain stay balanced:
🌅 Get morning sunlight — even 10 minutes on the walk to school helps reset the body’s rhythm.
🥗 Keep meals balanced with steady protein and hydration (Florida heat lingers well into fall!).
🎨 Build downtime after school for rest, creativity, or outdoor play.
🕯️ Keep evenings calm and predictable — limit screens before bed and use warm lighting to cue relaxation.

Small shifts in routine and rhythm can help kids (and adults) stay focused, regulated, and thriving through seasonal transitions. ✨

🌿 “Kids don’t need perfection. They need connection.”
– Dr. Jody Carrington

Children aren’t looking for perfect parents — they’re looking for present ones. Your warmth, attention, and effort matter more than getting it all right. 💗

At Growing Minds Psychology, we guide parents and caregivers in building stronger emotional bonds and resilient communication with their kids. Connection is the heart of healing.

September is Su***de Prevention Month🎗️

As parents, su***de is one of the hardest subjects to think about—let alone discuss with our children. Yet, with mental health concerns rising among children and adolescents, it’s important to create safe spaces for open, honest conversations. Talking about su***de does not plant the idea in a child’s mind. Instead, these conversations can actually help prevent su***de by reducing shame, building trust, and letting children know they can turn to you when they are struggling.
