The holidays are coming quickly — only 65 days until Christmas!

If you or your child are currently in counselling or thinking about starting, now is a great time to book your sessions in advance.

Doing so helps you:
* Honour your schedule and protect time for wellbeing
* Create consistency and predictability for your family
* Support smoother transitions through what can be an emotionally full season

✨ Research continues to show that consistent counselling and support for families, children and youth leads to stronger emotional regulation and long-term positive outcomes.

Now is a beautiful time to build or continue that rhythm of care before the busyness of the holidays begins.

This is also a great time to hold yourself accountable + use the remainder of your extended health benefits.

Warmly,

This time of year brings so much excitement, costumes, gatherings, sweet treats and full schedules.

Remember balance isn’t necessarily the goal, but feeling rooted is.

When we approach limits around sugar, routines, or busy social calendars with compassion and consistency, we create safety and calm for our children (and ourselves).

That’s how our families learn that food, fun, and connection can all belong together.

Speaking to sweet little me who worked so hard to make everyone else feel safe — even when she didn’t feel safe herself.

She learned early how to read the room, to keep the peace, to soften herself for others.

Now, I remind her: you don’t have to hold it all anymore.
You deserve softness too.
You’re safe now.

Do you notice your child…

Jumping on the couch? Running around the house? Having big reactions or hard-to-calm moments? In others personal space or grabbing your body

You’re not alone — these can be signs your child’s body is looking for regulation.

One of the hidden scenses is Proprioception — your body’s sense of movement, pressure, and position.
It tells you where your body is in space.

💪🏽 This is where heavy work comes in, activities that help kids lift, push, pull, jump, and carry to release energy and calm their nervous system.

Heavy work helps kids:
✨ Feel grounded and calm
🧠 Focus and manage emotions
💛 Build body awareness

Think of it as your child’s natural way of saying:
‘I need to move my body’ but not knowing why. this is where the external brain comes in - you.

Simple ways to add heavy work to real life routine:
A wild dance party
Simon says
Push pull or carry a full laundry basket
Jump on a trampoline
Animal walks (bear, crab, or frog jumps)
Carry groceries or pull a wagon
Carrying a backpack

When we listen to what their body is telling us, we help them reconnect + tune in from the inside out.

That’s being deeply rooted.

💛ADHD Awareness: Kids and Sports 💛

This one is true to my heart — both of my children are very active and sports-driven.

Even in those small moments — when the coaches introduce themselves or explain the next drill — I’m reminded that kids may not be hearing all of the steps being asked of them.

What usually follows?
Being called out + a repeat explanation for the kids who need extra help remembering what the drill is or what’s expected.

Here’s the thing — neurodivergent brains are highly aware.

They take in everything:
the sounds, the movement, the excitement, the chatter, the feelings around them. So when an adult gives directions in the middle of all that energy, it can be overwhelming — and those words don’t always land.

That’s where the labels and judgments often start.
From the sidelines, parents and coaches might think these kids aren’t listening, following, or taking things seriously.

But I’m here to bust that myth again:
This isn’t about choice or defiance.
They aren’t being rude. They aren’t “messing around.”

One of the hardest places for neurodivergent kids to be is in large group or team settings — not because they don’t want to be there, but because they’re often misunderstood.

And over time, those moments of misunderstanding can chip away at their confidence and sense of belonging.

So here are a few quick, heart-centered tips for coaches, leaders, and parents:
✨ Acknowledge what they’re doing right.
✨ When things seem off, quietly check in. Ask what they need instead of correcting in front of everyone.
✨ If big feelings come up, offer a quiet moment or a water break rather than calling them out.

Small shifts like these help all kids feel seen, supported, and safe to stay in the game.

Inclusion isn’t just about having a spot on the team — it’s about being understood while you’re there.

Studies show that children with ADHD receive up to 20,000 more negative or corrective messages than neurotypical children by the age of 10.

Mental health isn’t a trend — it’s the way forward.

It’s the part of us we can’t always see, but it’s always there.

My vision for Deeply Rooted has always been to share information in a supportive, inclusive, and accessible way.

My world has revolved around being a helper — even as a young girl, navigating the depths of my own anxiety. No one knew how to help me, if only I had the resources I can share with children and youth today.

Today, I’m proud to support families in creating awareness and reducing the stigma of emotional and mental health.

I watched a live of today, and it was such a beautiful reminder about our mental health.

Parenting isn’t always intuitive. There are intuitive moments, yes, but much of it is learned. Just like athletes and professionals have coaches, parent coaching provides direct support to our mental health — from pre- and post-partum stages to raising toddlers, school-aged children, and teens.

✨ It’s never too late, and never too early, to invest in yourself and your family.

You don’t have to do this alone. Your mental health matters.

💛 ADHD Awareness Month 💛

Kids with ADHD are often socially younger than their peers. Research suggests that while they may be the same age chronologically, emotionally and socially they are about 2–3 years behind in development.

That means a 10-year-old who identifies as having ADHD might interact more like an 8- or 9-year-old. This can sometimes be misread as immaturity, rudeness, or “bad” behavior.

I am here to bust this myth — it’s not that at all.

Neurodivergent brains simply develop differently.
The areas of the brain that handle emotional regulation, impulse control, and social awareness mature at a slower pace.

And yet — the beauty in this difference is undeniable.
Children who are neurodivergent bring a spark that’s hard to miss. They’re engaging, energetic, creative, playful, spontaneous, and full of joy.

They see the world through curiosity and wonder — and often remind the rest of us not to take life so seriously.

When we understand this, we can meet them where they are — with patience, kindness, and care. 💛

Because judgment only creates harm and isolation for kids who already struggle to feel connected and good enough.

Assumptions about their intention create long-lasting harmful self-talk and confidence challenges.
They are not “behind.”

They are simply growing at their own pace and what an honor it is to be part of that journey🌿
