What we don’t understand, we fear. What we learn, we can support.
Mental health is often misunderstood—not out of neglect, but out of not knowing.
When families learn what’s really going on, confusion turns into compassion.
Education empowers both parents and teens to navigate diagnoses with clarity, not shame.

A label is not your identity. It’s a guide to understanding and growth.
Let’s normalize asking, learning, and talking openly. 🧠💬

Parenting is rewarding, but it can also be exhausting. Preventing burnout is essential to maintaining your patience, energy, and sense of purpose. Here are some strategies to protect your well-being:

▪️Rest Is Not a Luxury:
🔹Taking time to recharge is vital for your mental and physical health. Rest enables you to parent with more patience and intention.

▪️Say No Without Guilt:
🔹Protect your energy by setting boundaries that prioritize your mental health. It’s okay to decline extra responsibilities when you need to.

▪️Ask for Support:
🔹You don’t have to navigate parenting challenges alone. Seeking professional guidance can provide the tools and reassurance you need to thrive.

At Breaking the Chalk, I offer support for parents navigating the pressures of daily life. My therapy services provide a safe space to explore stress management techniques, build healthy boundaries, and prioritize self-care. Let me guide you in preventing burnout and nurturing your own well-being. 🌱

Teaching children through their emotions requires thoughtful language and calm guidance. Here's how you can use emotion coaching to help your child navigate tough feelings:

▪️Label the Feeling:
🔹Help your child identify their emotions by saying things like, “It sounds like you’re frustrated.” This gives them the words they need to describe their experience.

▪️Validate First, Guide Second:
🔹Acknowledge your child’s feelings before offering solutions. Say, “I understand why that upset you. Let’s figure out what we can do next.”

▪️Stay Neutral and Calm:
🔹 Your tone is just as important as your words. Staying calm and neutral models emotional regulation and helps your child feel safe to express themselves.

At Breaking the Chalk,I guide families in using emotion coaching strategies that build emotional intelligence and strengthen communication. My therapy services offer personalized support to help children process their emotions in healthy, constructive ways. 🌱

Needing help doesn’t make you a bad parent — it makes you a human one.
Parenting doesn’t come with a manual, and it’s okay to feel lost sometimes.
Choosing therapy for your child isn’t a sign of failure. It’s a sign of courage.
It’s a step towards giving them (and yourself) the tools, space, and support you both deserve.
Asking for help is not weakness — it’s wisdom. 🤝💛

Understanding school feedback can be tricky, especially when labels like “disruptive” are used. However, these terms often mask deeper needs like feeling overwhelmed, bored, or unsupported. Here’s how to decode the feedback and advocate effectively for your child:

▪️ Look Beyond the Label:
🔹 A label like “disruptive” might indicate underlying feelings of frustration or disengagement. Understand what’s really happening by exploring what’s behind the behavior.

▪️ Collaborate, Don’t Compete:
🔹 Work with your child’s teacher to find strategies that support their needs. Collaboration helps build a team approach and fosters understanding between home and school.

▪️ Advocate Confidently:
🔹 You know your child best. Trust your voice and share insights that can help the teacher better understand your child’s strengths and areas for growth.

I help families navigate educational challenges by offering strategies to communicate effectively with teachers and support your child’s emotional and academic growth. My therapy services provide personalized guidance to strengthen your advocacy and ensure your child gets the support they deserve. 🌱

As a parent, it’s easy to feel like you’ve tried everything when challenging behaviors persist. If you’re feeling stuck, it may be time to pause and reconsider your approach. Here are three steps to guide you through:

▪️ Step Back and Reflect:

🔹Sometimes, it’s not about doing more; it’s about adjusting how you’re using the strategy. Take a moment to reflect on what’s been working and what hasn't.

▪️ You’re Not Alone:

🔹Many parents hit a wall, and that’s okay. Seeking support from others can provide fresh perspectives and new ideas to move forward.

▪️ Keep the Connection First:

🔹Behavior won’t change without a strong relationship. Focus on reinforcing the bond with your child, as connection is the foundation of any lasting change.

At Breaking the Chalk, I understand how frustrating it can be when you feel like you’ve exhausted every option. I work with families to find clarity and develop a path forward with empathy and expertise. 🌱

Your child’s meltdown isn’t personal — but how you respond can be powerful.”
Big emotions from little humans are hard. And yes, they’ll push your buttons.
But knowing what sets you off gives you a chance to choose calm over chaos.
Pause. Breathe. Squeeze your fists if you must.

Because in those stormy moments, your child needs to borrow your calm, not your frustration. 🌿🧘‍♀️

Supporting emotionally sensitive children requires patience, understanding, and empathy. These kids may feel deeply, and it’s important to provide the right tools and validation to help them navigate their emotions. Here are key ways to support them:

▪️Avoid Dismissing Feelings:

🔹Phrases like “you’re fine” can cause children to shut down. Instead, validate their feelings by saying, “I see you’re upset, and that’s okay.” This helps them feel heard and understood.

▪️Teach Calm-Down Tools:

🔹Guide them in practicing techniques like deep breathing, drawing, or hugging a soft object. These tools help children regulate their emotions and find comfort during stressful moments.

▪️Celebrate Sensitivity:

🔹Show them that being emotionally sensitive is a strength, not a flaw. Teach them that empathy is a valuable quality and help them embrace their emotions without shame.

I specialize in helping children develop emotional regulation skills. My online therapy services focus on building emotional resilience through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based strategies. By working with me, your child can learn effective tools for managing emotions and build confidence in their sensitivity. 🌱

In-Between Session Support: Because Parenting Doesn’t Pause

Parenting is a nonstop journey, and the challenges you face don’t disappear when a therapy session ends. I know the real growth happens in the day-to-day moments—the unexpected struggles, the victories, and everything in between. That’s why my support is designed to go beyond scheduled appointments, offering you continuous guidance tailored to your family’s unique needs.

Whether you need a quick message for reassurance during a difficult moment or a brief phone call to address new concerns, I am here to provide timely advice and encouragement. You won’t have to navigate those challenging times alone or wonder what the next best step is.

Between sessions, I also equip you with practical, personalized resources such as worksheets, activity ideas, and coping strategies that can be used immediately. These tools are created to reinforce the skills your child is learning in therapy and to empower you as a parent to confidently manage everyday situations.
My goal is to maintain your momentum and ensure that progress is sustained, even when setbacks occur. With ongoing support, you gain the knowledge, strategies, and emotional strength needed to face parenting challenges with patience, clarity, and hope.

Remember, parenting is not about perfection—it’s about connection, persistence, and having the right support when you need it most. I am committed to walking alongside you every step of the way.

Transitions can be difficult for children, but with the right support and preparation, you can help them navigate changes with more confidence. Here are three effective strategies to guide your child through transitions:

▪️Prepare in Advance:

🔹Discuss upcoming changes with your child using visuals, timelines, or even role-playing. This helps them feel more prepared and reduces anxiety around the unknown.

▪️Use Predictable Routines:

🔹Keep certain parts of their day consistent to create a sense of stability. Predictability can make transitions smoother by offering a reliable structure.

▪️Validate Their Worries:

🔹Transitions can feel overwhelming or scary, so it’s important to acknowledge your child’s concerns. Let them know it’s okay to feel uneasy, and that you’re there to support them.

I work with families to build effective strategies for navigating transitions. My online therapy services, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and family counseling, help children manage anxiety around changes and create routines that foster a sense of security. Let me guide your family through the transition process with empathy and expertise. 🌱
