To all the parents and guardians out there... I hope the first few days of school have gone well.

PARENTS... Tomorrow is the first day of school for many children.

As adults, we do not think it is a big deal. But, for children, it is a HUGE thing for them emotionally and physically.

If your child is doing things that TRIGGER YOU, take a breath, count to 10, and REGULATE yourself before you act or say anything.

If you are regulated, your child has a better chance of staying regulated as well.

So many times, I have parents ask what they are doing wrong. I remind them so often that to help regulate your child's emotions, you need to regulate your own first.

Being present for your child allows you to connect with them and makes them feel safe.

Perfection isn’t what our kids need — presence is.
They don’t need us to always have the right answers, respond with perfect calm, or handle every moment with textbook grace.
What they do need is to feel seen, heard, and safe.
Being present — even in the mess, even when you get it wrong and try again — that is what builds connection.
Let go of the pressure to be flawless. Just show up. Again and again. That’s where the magic happens.
