The YMCA received a grant and is offering 8 lessons to children ages 4-14 who are on the autism spectrum! Check out the flyer! ♥️

My twins are on the YMCA swim team and as a parent, I have seen tremendous improvements in swim, proprioceptive input, and confidence in their swim abilities.

When was the last time you took a moment to pause?!?

We tend to hold stress and tension in our bodies without even noticing.

Relax and bring awareness as you breathe.

If you don't pick a day to relax...your body will pick it for you...

Many of us learned at a young age to repress our emotions. We may have heard similar statements such as "Stop crying!" or "You have nothing to be upset about!"

It comes to no surprise then when children begin to start hiding or suppressing their feelings. They may even feel wrong for experiencing an emotion or think that their feelings are not valid.

When we start the pattern of repressing our emotions, our mental health can be negatively impacted manifesting feelings of anxiety, depression, and increased stress (along with increase in cortisol levels).

This is why regulation of emotions is so important. All emotions: the big ones, the scary ones, and the (what we may feel) are the bad ones. Children need to be validated so that they can become better equipped to handle big emotions, which can impact actions and behaviors.

Sit with your kiddo in their emotion. Name the emotion. Help with calming your kiddo by modeling and practicing deep breaths or talking about the emotion.

After the initial reaction passes, then we as parents can sit with and discuss what triggered the emotion. We can listen, show empathy, and then allow space to calmly discuss their choices.

The first step is allowing kiddos to have ALL their emotions. Then, we can teach them regulation.

Isn't it ironic how we talk about the need and importance for self-care, but the voices in our head tell us we don't have time for that.... or worse it makes us lazy!

⚠️ Here's the reminder ⚠️

Slow down...
Take the break..
YOU are your most important priority!

The most empowered woman is a relaxed woman because...

She is safe...
She is regulated.

After all, isn't it better to slow down...than break down?!?

One of my 2023 goals was to make sourdough bread! Happy to say "Dr. Benton" (we are huge ER fans 😂) is still ALIVE!

This year we....

We lived life slower...
Had numerous family conversations while making a loaf..
Shared with family and friends...
Our hearts and bellies were full...
And I would definitely say it helped us spread JOY!!
