🌟👪Parenting Tip: Help After School Time Be Productive🌟

🍎🚌After the final school bell rings, the hours that follow can be a time of both promise and uncertainty for children and adolescents. With the structured demands of the school day behind them, young people face a period of freedom that can either become a landscape for growth or a void filled with boredom. Establishing a consistent after-school routine⏰ is a powerful way to guide this crucial time, transforming it into an opportunity for personal development, academic support, and emotional balance.

Examples to include could be:
- Chill Time
- Play Outdoors
- Homework
- Dinner
- Electronics
- Operation Bedtime
- Bath

Rather than have arguments about when to do homework, when it’s ok to be on electronics and other activities, use this concept to help you and your family make afterschool time a stress-free time. 🧘😎

A new year of college is just around the corner! 🙌📚Whether you are starting as a freshman or are a returning student, sometimes there is a feeling of immense pressure - academic demands, social expectations, and the journey of self-identity. These pressures can create anxiety which may turn into unhealthy relationships with food. Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that can affect anyone, regardless of background or circumstances.

🌻I wish people knew about my anxiety (from a child's perspective). It's not just feeling nervous or overwhelmed, but a constant battle within my mind. Every little triumph can trigger a massive wave of confidence. It's having the strength to overcome the physical symptoms too, like a steady heart, calm palms, and a sense of peace that is never-ending. I wish people understood that it's not just something I can 'overcome', but a remarkable victory that I achieve every single day 💪.

Let's create an open dialogue and a safe space for those who struggle with anxiety. ❤️See full article: https://dkconline.com/interesting-articles

🌈🐘**Are you familiar with the pink elephant paradox? The theory is the more we avoid thinking about something, the more intrusive thoughts occupy our mind. If you have ever heard "Don't think about a pink elephant", it usually starts to consume our thoughts. For mental health, this idea can uncover so much about our struggles. We often suppress our feelings or avoid facing difficult thoughts.

Embrace your feelings, confront the pink elephants, and take the steps necessary to have a healthier mindset. 🌟💪

🎉Exciting News! 🎉

We are thrilled to welcome Holli Hutson, LMSW to our practice! 🌟She is a certified divorce and co-parenting coach, helping families move through conflicts towards resolution. She helps clients navigate anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, parenting, communication challenges, and relationship struggles.

Holli believes that therapy should offer more than a space to cope-it should help people grow into fuller, more authentic versions of themselves. Life brings challenges at every stage, whether you’re a child learning to manage big feelings, a teen navigating identity and belonging, or an adult confronting shifts in relationships, career, or purpose. For couples, these challenges often show up as disconnection, miscommunication, or patterns that feel hard to break. Holli is passionate about helping partners reconnect, strengthen their relationship, and navigate difficult transitions together.
