Stay centered as we move through potentially tricky discussions in the weeks ahead.

Minds tend to rest more calmly in organized spaces, so this is a practice worth pursuing.

It’s ok to listen and sit with our children in their discomfort instead of rescuing or fixing.

Greet the school year in a more confident and connected way.

The arrival of midsummer can be greeted as a reminder and as an opportunity.

As we close the chapter on this school year and look ahead to summer, we’re offered the opportunity to create intentionality around how we’d like our family to experience this upcoming season together.

The habit of feeling grateful is something that grows over time with practice and repeated opportunities, and isn’t something that we’re born with.

Kids, just like grownups, need the resource of self-compassion.

As we strive to nurture and deepen the connection with our children, an essential phrase to use is “tell me more”.

Cognitive adaptability is the antidote to rigid thinking.

Consequences provide learning opportunities through experience.

Boundaries, also known as limits or rules, broadly define how we expect our children to behave.

From friends to grades to sports, letdowns will come in many shapes and sizes throughout childhood.

Change is always possible and we are all a work in progress, even beyond the resolute month of January.

When we’re clear on our values, this can help us to focus on what truly matters.

Guilt will occur naturally within the spectrum of human emotions, and we can intentionally acknowledge it and work to shift future behaviors in a more positive direction.

Year’s end can feel like a natural time to look toward the future with renewed intentions and fresh goals, while reflecting on what matters most to our families.

We can remain confident and connected as we lovingly support our children in building their skills, across all ages and stages of their development.

Co-regulation is the supportive process that can foster children’s self-regulation skills; it happens when we remain present and calm in the midst of an emotional storm, validate our child’s experience, and offer our steadfast presence and support.

What actions can we take today, this week, this month, and this season to support ourselves?
