ARE YOU READY?
Freezing temperatures are expected across our area. Now is the time to prepare and protect what matters most by remembering the 4 P’s:

👨‍👩‍👧 PEOPLE
• Make a plan to stay warm and safe
• Use space heaters safely — keep them at least 3 feet from anything flammable
• Never use ovens or stoves to heat your home
• Use generators outdoors only to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning

🐾 PETS
• Bring pets indoors and ensure they have a warm, safe place

🚰 PIPES
• Insulate exposed pipes and let faucets drip
• Know how to shut off your water in case a pipe bursts

🌱 PLANTS
• Cover or bring plants indoors to protect them from freezing

⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDERS
• Always assume downed power lines are energized — stay at least 35 feet away and report them immediately
• Smell gas (rotten egg odor)? Leave the area on foot right away and call 911 and CenterPoint Energy once you are safe

🧰 Stay informed. Stay prepared.
Inventory your winter emergency kit and take steps to weatherize your home to keep the cold out. Devices Charged, batteries, and flashlights.

💙 The Office of Constable Alan Rosen, Harris County Precinct 1 is here for you. Stay safe and stay warm.

When screen battles feel never-ending
You’re not imagining it — transitions are harder for a child’s brain than we often realise. Especially for neurodivergent young people, coming away from a screen isn’t a behaviour choice. It’s a nervous system shift.

When the dopamine drop hits
Screens create focus, comfort and predictable reward — so stopping suddenly can feel like falling off a cliff. Understanding the brain chemistry behind the struggle helps us respond with support, not frustration.

When it’s not defiance at all
So many meltdowns are simply a child overwhelmed by the jump from one state to another. Their brain isn’t misbehaving — it’s protecting them from overload.

When we can make transitions kinder
A few small changes — connection first, visual cues, sensory bridges, predictable rituals — can transform the experience for everyone at home or in the classroom.

When calm replaces conflict
The goal isn’t to remove screens. It’s to remove the stress around the transition. When we honour the brain, the battles ease.

When you want deeper support
If screens, meltdowns or dysregulation are daily challenges, my behaviour and emotional regulation toolkits walk you through scripts, routines and practical brain-based strategies. Link in comments below ⬇️ or via Linktree Shop in Bio.
