It’s not your job to rush them. It’s your job to protect the short childhood years in slowness, boredom, curiosity, and deep presence. 💭

What I wish more parents knew:

When your child is dysregulated — yelling, shutting down, lashing out — it’s not because they’re trying to make life harder for you. Often, they’re doing the best they can with the tools they have.

Your child isn’t giving you a hard time — they’re having a hard time.
Underneath every meltdown, shutdown, or outburst is a message:
🔹 “I don’t feel safe.”
🔹 “I don’t know how to say what I need.”
🔹 “I feel overwhelmed.”

Behaviour is communication, and big feelings in little bodies can come out in messy ways.

This doesn’t mean you have to accept all behaviour — it means we start with understanding. You can set boundaries and be compassionate. You can feel frustrated and stay curious.

You don’t need to have all the answers. You just need a way in. When we shift from reacting to listening, we create space for connection, growth, and healing. 🖤

At the McCormick Center for Early Childhood Leadership National Conference for Early Childhood Leaders, our senior director of Professional Innovations, Sarah LeMoine, emphasized a key idea: early childhood education and infant and early childhood mental health are not separate conversations.

These fields are rooted in the same soil: strengths-based perspectives, relationships, culture and emotional well-being. These priorities are interconnected, and when we support them together, everyone benefits.

Your worth as a parent isn't measured by your child's behaviour.

Some days will be harder than others, but your consistent love and presence matter more than any momentary struggle.

Since sharing my review of Adolescence, the response has been HUGE—so many parents are looking for help raising their boys. We hear you. 💙

For a limited time, our Bringing Up Boys Summit is just $99 (normally $199)!

The Bringing up Boys Summit, presented by Happy Families, is about one thing: taking you into your son’s world and helping you connect with him in the way he needs you to.

You’ll be blown away with the extraordinary ideas shared by twelve experts in different areas that today’s boys are challenged in: boys and s*x, boys and po*******hy, boys and screens and gaming, boys and friends, boys and alcohol and drugs, boys and violence, boys and emotions, and so much more. Our experts will show you how to help your son in a wise, positive way.

Ultimately, you won’t just find solutions to help your son through friendship breakdowns, the lure of drugs, anxiety and other mental health issues, or even the life-changing process of puberty. You’ll find ways to rekindle the connection you both want… and both need.

Join Dr Justin Coulson and 11 other experts (Peggy Orenstein, Prof. Mar Brackett, Dr Arne Rubenstein, Gus Worland, Mia Freedman, Glen Gerreyn, Rebecca Sparrow, Matt Tyler, Michelle Mitchell, Paul Dillon, and Dr Brad Marshall) as they share practical, research-backed insights to help you raise happy, resilient boys.

I have a reverence for how play helps young children manage stress. It's amazing how the play theme finds the child's concerns somehow.
I always have versions of colorful medical kits in my playroom that kids pull out again and again. In the pretend play, questions are asked and answered. A lovely road map if you're not sure where to start is a new book by my friends & , The Way of Play 🪆
