Are we hard-wired to grieve a certain way? Find out how what role your nervous system plays in grief and how to understand this complex emotion better.

Children don't need to be protected from uncomfortable feelings, instead to befriend and listen to what their nervous systems are trying to tell them. ❤️

Parents, teachers, and other caregivers have an important role in teaching children self-regulation.

Life's Rainbow-Sheila Banani

Beginnings are lacquer red
fired hard in the kiln
of hot hope;

Middles, copper yellow
in sunshine,
sometimes oxidize green
with tears; but

Endings are always indigo
before we step
on the other shore.
