🚨 Bullying is not “just a kid thing”

School bullying can affect a child’s self-esteem, academic performance, and emotional development. Recognizing the signs early is key to protecting their well-being.

• 🔹 Warning signs: Mood swings, fear of going to school, physical pain with no medical cause, loss of friends or belongings.

• 🔹 Active listening: Create a safe space for them to share their experiences without judgment or minimization.

• 🔹 School communication: Inform teachers and school staff to take collective action.

• 🔹 Boosting self-esteem: Encourage activities that strengthen their confidence and foster positive relationships outside the bullying environment.

• 🔹 Professional support: A child psychologist can provide strategies for the family and guide the recovery process.

💬 Parents, early intervention is essential to break the cycle of bullying.

January 13th: World Depression Day 🌎💙

Depression in children isn’t always about deep sadness. Often, it hides behind symptoms we might overlook. It’s time to look closer! 🔍

What does it look like?

• ⚡ Irritability & mood swings.
• 😴 Changes in sleep patterns.
• 🧸 Loss of interest in playing.
• 🤕 Unexplained physical pain.

Why are cases rising? 📈

• 📚 Academic Pressure: The world is moving faster than their processing speed.
• 📱 Social Isolation: More screens and less “free play” reduces human connection.
• 🚫 Lack of Real Rest: Constant stimulation prevents true recovery.
• 🌈 Neurodiversity: The exhaustion of trying to “fit in” a world not designed for them.

What can we do? 🤝

If you suspect your child is struggling, remember: Early intervention is the key. It’s not just a “phase”—it’s a call for support.

Prioritizing their mental health today is the best way to ensure their happiness tomorrow. Don’t hesitate to seek professional help! 👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

How to Deal with Your Child’s Fears 🌑

Fears are a natural part of childhood development and serve a protective purpose. Understanding them and providing patient support helps children learn to manage them without letting them become limiting factors.💛

1️⃣ Listen without judgment:
Validate their emotions and let them describe how they feel. Avoid phrases like “it’s nothing,” which can downplay their experience.

2️⃣ Name and explain: Giving the fear a name (“darkness,” “noises”) and providing age-appropriate information reduces uncertainty.

3️⃣ Gradual exposure: Small steps, such as staying together in a dimly lit room, help build confidence.

4️⃣ Model calmness: Your tone of voice and body language serve as examples of emotional regulation.

5️⃣ Safety routines: A comfort object, a bedtime story, or a relaxing ritual can provide a sense of control.

If the fear persists or interferes with daily life, guidance from a child psychologist can offer personalized strategies. 🌱✨

2️⃣ Changes in sleep or appetite: Difficulty sleeping, nightmares, or loss of appetite.

3️⃣ Avoidance behaviors: Refusal to go to school, fear of being separated from parents, or resistance to new activities.

4️⃣ Irritability and crying easily: Intense reactions to everyday situations.

5️⃣ Excessive worry: Constant questions about safety, health, or “what if” scenarios.

Routine Changes in Children: How to Prepare Your Child for a Smooth Transition💛

Routines provide children with security and predictability. When they change—whether it’s a new schedule, starting school, or a change in caregiver—it is normal for anxiety or resistance to arise. 😓

Preparing the ground in advance and providing empathetic support makes all the difference.💛

1️⃣ Communicate clearly and ahead of time: Explain what will happen, why, and when, using words they can understand.

2️⃣ Include familiar elements: A stuffed animal, a song, or the same bedtime routine reinforces a sense of stability.

3️⃣ Active participation: Allow them to choose small details (clothes, snacks, decorations) so they feel a sense of control over the process.

4️⃣ Validate emotions: Acknowledge their fear or sadness; listening without judgment strengthens the bond and builds trust.

5️⃣ Celebrate progress: Recognize every small achievement during the transition to boost their self-esteem.

When anxiety persists or affects their well-being, guidance from a child psychologist can offer personalized strategies and support for the entire family. 🌟

🎨 How to boost your child’s creativity every day.❣️

Creativity drives learning, problem-solving, and self-confidence. It’s not just about art, it’s a way of thinking and seeing the world.💡

1️⃣ Offer diverse materials: paper, colors, blocks, simple instruments… things they can explore without strict rules.

2️⃣ Space for free play: let them invent stories, build imaginary worlds, and experiment without the fear of “making a mistake.”

3️⃣ Ask open-ended questions: “What would happen if…?” or “How would you do it differently?” foster curiosity.

4️⃣ Screen-free time: creative boredom stimulates new ideas and solutions.

5️⃣ Celebrate the process, not just the result: value their effort and originality over perfection.

Creativity is nurtured through support and an environment that invites discovery. 🌟

FELIZ AÑO NUEVO❣️🎊

A veces, la cultura del “logro” nos hace sentir que nos quedamos atrás.

🙏Pero en las familias con infancias atípicas, la gratitud tiene un sabor distinto: es más profunda, más consciente y mucho más valiente.

Este año, no agradecemos solo porque todo salió “bien”, sino porque aprendimos a encontrar belleza en lo inesperado y fuerza en los días grises. 💜

Gracias por cada terapia, por cada sonrisa conquistada y por el amor incondicional que guía cada paso.🥰

¿Cuál fue ese “pequeño gran logro” que celebraste este año? Te leo en los comentarios.
