If you’re already running on empty this holiday season, you’re not alone. Between wrapping, planning, and keeping everyone (including yourself) afloat, the list can feel endless. If you are running on reserves, know this: showing up, even when it’s messy, is enough.

Take a breath. You are doing more than you know.

The holidays can feel like a swirl of schedules, noise, and wrapping paper: but underneath it all, there’s space for stillness.

This short grounding meditation is for caregivers who want to pause, breathe, and remember what matters most: the laughter, the connection, and the simple joy of being together.

We invite you to take a few minutes to center yourself, so you can show up with warmth and calm for your family this season.

✨ Breathe in. Let go. Be here. We’re here with you.

The holidays can be full of excitement, but also unexpected upheaval, especially when routines shift or new environments test your child’s patience (and yours).

One of the most powerful ways to protect both your peace and your child’s is by setting clear, compassionate boundaries.

Boundaries aren’t about being strict or controlling — the opposite, actually. They’re about creating safety, consistency, and calm amidst the busyness, which allows us to let go of a sense of hypervigilance or rigidity. Decisions have already been made and we’ve created a predictable way to deal with them.

Whether it’s giving your child a choice during a stressful moment, saying no to extra commitments, or using simple, consistent phrases to guide routines, small boundary practices can make a big difference in wellbeing for your whole family.

This season, focus on protecting your energy so you can show up fully for your child. What’s one boundary you’re planning to set this holiday season to keep things calmer for everyone?

If you feel like you could use some extra support for setting boundaries, we invite you to consider our Healthy Boundaries series, self-paced workshops to support caregivers with healthy boundary setting in relationships of all kinds. See more in the link in our bio. 🔗

Just because we don’t say it, doesn’t mean they don’t feel it.

We communicate with our children well before they have words to talk back, and all of those shared non-verbal cues build up into their own kind of language over time.

One downside? Children become experts at picking up on our stress — and reflecting it right back, especially in moments when it’s least needed.

Before the chaos of holiday gatherings escalates, take a moment to notice your own internal experience. How is your posture? Is there tension? When was the last time you took a purposeful breath? Why not take one right now?

A deep breath, a grounding mantra, or even a brief pause can help you show up steadier and calmer. When we regulate ourselves first, we give our children a model for managing their own big feelings (and that, in turn, helps us manage ours).

Sounds like a holiday gift that we want to keep giving.

This holiday season, what’s one small practice you use to pause and regulate before engaging with your family?

Today is recognized by the UN as the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

As caregivers, you can help children grow up seeing disability with respect and pride:

💛 Mirror the language disabled people use to identify themselves. If you’re unsure, you can start with identity-first language. Many disabled people currently prefer identity-first language (such as “disabled person” or “autistic child”) since it acknowledges their disability as part of who they are individually and within greater disabled community and culture — but preferences vary so make sure to listen to how individuals talk about themselves and follow their lead.

💛 Make it clear that all disabled people are just as whole, human, and worthy as you or anyone else is — regardless of what anyone can or can’t perceive from the outside. There’s almost always more than meets the eye with disability.

💛 Disability, by definition, is disabling, but it’s the assumptions and barriers created by society that unnecessarily compound what is hard, challenging, and even sometimes impossible for disabled people. We need to talk about these man-made barriers, ways to dismantle them, and the support systems we want to build in their place.

💛 Advocate for accessibility and inclusion in schools, healthcare, and beyond. Listen to what disabled people say they need, when you’re able to, and use your resources to respond accordingly.

The words we choose matter, and so do the actions we take based on them. What we do or don’t say communicates to our children who we think deserves a place in this world, and what we do or don’t shows them in practice.

You have the power to shape how the next generation sees themselves. We hope when you do, it models an inclusive future both you and them can see yourselves as part of.

This Giving Tuesday, we’re inviting you to join us in creating a future where every child in Austin has access to mental health support when they need it; not after months of waiting, not blocked by cost, not left without care.

The need is real:

- 1 in 4 individuals experience a mental illness.
- Fewer than half of children showing signs of distress ever get treatment.
- Families in Austin face long waitlists, high costs, and limited resources.

Whole Child Whole City exists to change that. Your gift helps us expand access to play therapy, train more providers, and ensure that every family feels supported.

This Giving Tuesday, give the gift of mental health access by clicking the link in our bio.

Social connection is one of the most important parts of being human — but it doesn’t always come naturally.

This is true at any age (adults included), but it’s especially true developmentally as children navigate social situations to find their place with their peers, at school, and in unfamiliar social settings.

Opportunities for experimentation and encouragement allow children the necessary space to develop their understanding of the power of communication, its impact, and how to use it in ways that create connection and belonging.

Our Social Communication Groups offer children the chance to practice communication skills, build confidence, and strengthen relationships in a warm, supportive, and neurodivergent-friendly environment. Each child can try out what they learn in a low consequence environment, growing tools that transfer to all kinds of situations beyond the classroom when they need them.

Facilitated by speech-language pathologists Mary Hadley and Ellie Vidaurri, our 16-week groups use role play, instruction, and feedback to help children learn to think about their thinking (metacognition), recognize social cues, and feel more comfortable connecting with the world around them.

For many caregivers, Thanksgiving feels rightly complicated. Gratitude is a practice worth passing on, but the story most of us were taught erases countless instances of violence against Native peoples.

This week, and especially tomorrow, consider how you might bring more transparency into your family’s traditions. That might mean talking with your children about history in age-appropriate ways, learning together about the Indigenous communities in your region, and weaving new forms of gratitude into your gathering that take the greater contexts into account.

Holding both gratitude and the truth behind this holiday isn’t easy — but it matters. The truths of the past will always be true even if we wish they weren’t, but we can raise children who want to see compassion and justice in different futures.

When we give our children a foundation for honesty, especially when it comes to difficult histories, we teach them the kind of people we want them to grow up to be, and in what kind of place.

Some weeks feel like a nonstop whirlwind of meals, homework, appointments, and the little surprises that come with caring for children. It’s easy to get caught up in doing everything “right” or trying to keep all the balls in the air.

It’s times like this when a simple mantra can be surprisingly useful.

Repeating a short, grounding phrase gives your mind something steady to hold onto. It’s simple enough to remember even when feeling are heightened, with the power to help you pause.

When the chaos starts to feel overwhelming, small reminders can center your attention on what truly matters and remind you that showing up, even imperfectly, is enough.

Mantras aren’t about fixing everything; they’re about giving yourself a gentle anchor so you can move through the week with more presence, calm, and patience.

Caregivers, we’d love to hear from you: what’s one phrase, thought, or little reminder you’ve been leaning on lately to stay grounded and connected with yourself or your child?

11/21/2025

The holidays can feel like a whirlwind of meals, decorations, and “all the things,” and for caregivers, that can be exhausting. Here’s a little reminder: you don’t need the perfect Elf on the Shelf setup, a Pinterest-worthy craft, or an elaborate holiday schedule to make meaningful memories.

Sometimes the strongest connections come from the smallest moments; a quick dance to a favorite holiday song, a five-minute gratitude circle at the table, jotting a note for a memory jar, or a short walk to notice the lights and sounds around you. These tiny rituals give you and your child a chance to pause, be present, and enjoy each other amidst the chaos.

This season, focus on presence over perfection. What’s one small, simple way you’re connecting with your child during the holidays?

11/19/2025

Ah, the holidays! 🎄 Equal parts joy and chaos…

Whether you’ve smiled through a meltdown at the dinner table while your child screamed over the “wrong” plate or you’ve watched someone knock over the gravy boat onto a white tablecloth after hours of cooking everything just so, chances are you know the feeling.

As caregivers, we’re expected to hold it all together, keep everyone fed and happy, and somehow remember to enjoy the moment too.

But here’s the truth: it’s okay if it’s messy. It’s okay if you’re messy. When they happen, those imperfect, chaotic moments are still part of the memories being made. Giving yourself grace, taking a breath, and finding little pockets of calm can make all the difference.

Dare we say — if looking at the next month of your calendar already has you wanting to cry into a holiday cookie (or seven), know that it’s also more than okay (maybe even necessary) to say no, do less, delegate, or all of the above. We’re in support of messy memory making, and we’re in support of memories that don’t stretch you to the brink either.

Caregivers, what’s one little thing you do (or don’t) to survive — and maybe even enjoy — the holiday chaos?

Honoring the Whole Child

At Ensemble Therapy, our mission is to honor the whole child.

We uphold this belief by committing to these three core values:

We create a foundational, safe space for every child where they feel accepted, supported, encouraged to take risks, and better prepared to face external factors that they cannot control.

We understand children; we speak their language, which allows us to act as calm, patient, and trustworthy translators between every child and their parents.
