Don’t forget our kids are sponges! They are listening to what we are saying and watching. Be sure to keep grown up things for grownups. If they are exposed to scary things here are some good recommendations. If you’re needing additional support reach out or talk with your child’s therapist.

Here are some great ideas on talking with your teen! The first step is to listen and approach the situation with curiosity. Trying to just “fix” the situation, often leads to disconnection and affects our teens willingness to talk to us.

Loneliness doesn’t always look like being “alone.” Sometimes it’s feeling unseen, unheard, or just… out of place.
Here are a few gentle reminders:
🌙 Your feelings are valid. You don’t need to “cheer up” or pretend everything’s fine.�
💬 Reach out — even a little. Text a friend, join a club, or talk to someone you trust. Small steps matter.�
🧠 Take breaks from comparison. What you see online isn’t the full story — and you’re not behind.�
🌿 Find moments that feel real. Art, music, nature, movement — anything that helps you reconnect with yourself.�
You deserve connection! If you’ve been feeling stuck in loneliness, you don’t have to face it alone. Talking to a counselor or therapist can help you find your way back to connection and get you back on track.

What a lovely reminder! Let’s show ourselves compassion! Most of us are doing the best we can in any given moment. Let’s practice speaking to ourselves the way we would a friend. 💕

Practice giving yourself grace.

Let yourself rest when you need to. Forgive yourself often. Speak to yourself with kindness. Listen closely to what your heart is asking for.

Caring for yourself is not selfish. It’s sacred. When you nurture your own soul, you create space to share more love, peace, and light with the world. ✨

Always honor the whispers of your heart. They are guiding you home. 💗

Grief looks different for every child and teen. As caregivers and adults, our role isn’t to take away their pain — it’s to help them feel safe as they move through it.

💬 Listen with presence. Create space for emotions without rushing to fix them.
💛 Be honest and age-appropriate. Simple, clear explanations help kids make sense of what’s happened.
🏠 Maintain routines. Predictability can provide a sense of safety during uncertain times.
🎨 Encourage expression. Art, play, and storytelling allow children to process emotions in their own way.
🌱 Model healthy coping. Showing your own emotions with care teaches that grief is natural and manageable.

Grieving is not about “getting over” loss — it’s about finding ways to hold it and heal.
If you notice prolonged sadness, withdrawal, or changes in behavior, professional support can make a difference. 💛
