It’s heartbreaking to see your child feel left out—whether it’s on the playground, at school, or in a friend group. 💔

As parents and caregivers, we often want to fix it right away, but sometimes what kids need most is to feel seen, heard, and supported in those tough moments. This blog, written by AFC clinician, Adisyn Jamail, explores how you can use children’s books as a gentle and powerful tool to open up conversations about social exclusion. These stories offer a chance for kids to see their feelings reflected back to them and for parents to build emotional connection through shared reading and thoughtful dialogue.

If your child has ever come home feeling like they don’t quite fit in, or you’re not sure how to respond when they talk about being left out, this blog is for you. It’s a compassionate resource filled with insight on helping your child feel safe in their emotions while guiding them toward resilience and belonging.

Wondering how you can empower your child to be more independent? 🌟

In our latest blog by AFC clinician, Geetha Pokala, we explore how small, intentional parenting shifts can foster independence, resilience, and confidence. From encouraging your child to problem-solve on their own, to offering age-appropriate responsibilities, and allowing natural consequences to do the teaching, these strategies support long-term growth over short-term fixes. Instead of fixing every misstep for them, you’re helping them believe, “I can handle this.”

Check out the full blog to learn how to raise capable kids who feel confident navigating life’s challenges.
