Setting a good example doesn't mean you have to be perfect. In fact, one of the best examples you can set for your child is showing them what to do when things don't go perfectly. When you take a deep breath during a stressful moment, or when you offer a genuine apology after losing your cool, you are teaching your child how to navigate life’s ups and downs.

At Family Roots Therapy, we’re here to help you build the emotional tools you want to pass down to the next generation. Happy Set A Good Example Day!

New episode is out now! In Episode 19, Kaleigh and Stephanie dive into the art of validation. We explore why acknowledging your child’s feelings is the fastest way to help them regulate; and how you can validate their emotions even when you need to set a boundary on their behavior.

Validation doesn't mean you agree with the tantrum; it means you agree that their feeling is real. Join us as we break down how to do this in the heat of the moment!
