One of the first things I mention to parents to help their kids....co-regulation. Not as easy as it sounds and takes practice!

New school year, new strategies to maintain regulation and decrease anxiety in your home.

As someone who has a HUGE heart for the Philippines and their culture and have loved my visits there, this makes me so happy

Meet TJ! TJ is a second generation Filipino-American boy, and a proud kuya (older brother) to his baby sister. He's learning to speak Tagalog with his grandparents, and he is so proud when he gets to put it to use when his family comes to visit from California, where his parents are from. He loves it when they all get together so he can help his mom make lumpia with all the veggies he picked, and so he can play basketball and have a dance off with his cousins.
