What an amazingly beautiful fall day! Our pumpkin patch trip was the best. I cannot recommend Prairie Home Farm enough. Our kids always enjoy feeding the farm animals, eating popcorn and reading books in the barn and ,of course, picking their pumpkins. Thank you, Linda, for sharing your little slice of heaven!

Idaho Medicaid has made a 4% cut for all Medicaid providers with a one week notice to providers. This is very challenging as it is already hard for families to access services as many providers cannot afford to take Medicaid. This cut makes it even more likely that children will go without access to medical or dental services. The Department of Health and Welfare wants to hear from parents about how this cut and potential additional cuts will impact your child and family. Now is the time to let them hear your voice!

This is good reminder for all of us.

The other morning, my 7-year old sulked on the floor after her sister refused to let her wear a certain shirt to school. After hearing both sides of the story and helping them problem solve, she continue to lay on the floor in complete dismay, lol. So i said, "Car leaves in 30 mins. I expect you to get dressed, brush your teeth, eat breakfast, and pack your backpack. Don't let your feelings get in the way of your responsibilities."

And then I walked away.

The next thing I know she's coming down the hallway in a good mood getting dressed and taking care of her business. I later circled back to the moment by saying, "Great job taking care of your responsibilities and setting yourself up for a good day. It's always OK to feel your feelings *and* we can't let our feelings hold us back from what we need to do. I'm proud of you."

This is now one of our family mantras.

Of course, kids need to feel how they feel.
Of course, all feelings are valid.
Of course, children need our support with overwhelming feelings.

But what's not talked about enough is how much children need help realizing they're capable of doing hard things while feeling difficult feelings.

Thoughts??

PS: Your specific child should always be considered. This guidance is for developmentally typical children 6+ and may need modification for children with special needs, trauma backgrounds, or developmental delays.
