Resilience is built in the little things families do every day. Keeping steady routines, practicing gratitude, and problem-solving together all teach kids they’re capable of handling challenges.

When families build resilience together, kids learn they’re not alone in their stress — they have the tools and support they need to bounce back.

In this week’s blog, we break down simple habits that build resilience in kids and share a printable Family Resilience Challenge to help you get started.

Stress isn’t going away anytime soon — for kids or parents. But resilience helps families handle stress in healthier, more confident ways.

Resilience doesn’t mean “toughing it out.” It’s about small, everyday habits that give kids a sense of security and the skills to bounce back when life feels hard. From routines to gratitude practices to problem-solving together, families can make resilience part of daily life.

In this week’s blog, we share strategies for building resilience in kids — plus a free Family Resilience Challenge you can try at home.

Life throws challenges at all of us, and kids are no exception. School pressures, friendship struggles, and big changes at home can all bring stress. While we can't remove every challenge, we can give kids the tools to handle them with confidence. That's where resilience comes in.Building resilience...

Kids can’t avoid stress altogether, but they can learn how to calm their minds and bodies when it shows up. From deep breathing to grounding exercises, simple calming strategies help kids feel safe and in control when emotions get big.

The key is practicing these tools when your child is already calm, so they’re ready to use them when stress or anxiety strikes.

In this week’s blog, we share calming strategies for kids, tips for practicing them at home, and ideas to help your child figure out which tools work best for them.

Stress shows up fast — right before a test, when a routine changes, or even during bedtime. For kids, those anxious feelings can feel overwhelming if they don’t have tools to manage them.

That’s why calming strategies matter. When kids learn simple techniques like deep breathing, movement breaks, or grounding exercises, they start to feel more in control instead of stuck in their stress.

In this week’s blog, we break down calming strategies for kids that actually work — and share tips for how to teach them in a way that feels natural.

Stress doesn't wait for a convenient time to show up. Kids can feel anxious right before a test, during a transition, or even when they're trying to fall asleep. While routines and structure help prevent some stress, children also need tools they can use right in the moment.That's where calming stra...

Predictability is powerful for kids. When they know what’s coming next, they feel calmer, more secure, and better able to handle challenges. Without routines, even small transitions — like getting ready for school or heading to bed — can feel overwhelming.

This week’s blog breaks down how routines help kids manage anxiety, what happens when routines are missing, and how you can build daily rhythms that actually work for your family. We’ve even included a free Daily Routine Builder you can print and use with your child right away.

Kids thrive when life feels predictable. Without routines, the day can feel chaotic and stressful — and that uncertainty often fuels anxiety.

The good news is, routines don’t have to be complicated or strict. Even simple patterns like a consistent morning checklist, a snack after school, or a nightly bedtime ritual can make kids feel safe and in control.

In this week’s blog, we explore how routines reduce stress, why they matter so much for kids’ anxiety, and how you can build them without adding pressure to your day. Plus, we’re sharing a free Daily Routine Builder printable to help your family get started.

Life can feel unpredictable for kids. They don't always know what's coming next, and that uncertainty can quickly lead to stress or anxiety. The good news? One of the simplest ways to help is also one of the most effective: routines.Establishing routines for kids' anxiety doesn't mean making life bo...

Stress doesn’t always look the same in kids as it does in adults. They usually won’t come out and say, “I feel stressed.” Instead, it shows up in ways that can easily be misunderstood — stomachaches before school, sudden mood swings, meltdowns, or pulling away from things they normally enjoy.

These behaviors aren’t “bad” or random. They’re signals that your child is dealing with something big inside, and they need support. When parents know what to look for, it’s easier to respond with empathy and give kids tools to cope.

In this week’s blog, we take a closer look at the most common signs of stress in kids, why they happen, and what you can do to help your child feel more grounded and secure.

Kids experience stress too — even if they don’t have the words to explain it. Sometimes it shows up in their bodies, like stomachaches, headaches, or trouble sleeping. Other times it shows up in behavior, like meltdowns, irritability, or avoiding activities they used to enjoy.

As parents, it can feel confusing to figure out if what we’re seeing is “just a phase” or something more. The truth is, both can be true — but stress is often a big part of the picture. When we learn to recognize the signs, we can step in with support that helps kids feel calmer and more secure.

In this week’s blog, we explore how stress shows up in children, the most common causes, and simple steps you can take to help your child feel understood.

When most of us think about stress, we picture long workdays, bills, or deadlines. But stress isn't just an adult problem — kids experience it too, often more intensely than we realize. The tricky part? Children don't usually have the language to say, "I'm stressed." Instead, they show it through ...

Building Momentum to Accelerate Your Child's Progress Further Than They Ever Thought Possible

We had another awesome week filled with creativity, movement, and teamwork! From baking mug blueberry muffins (yum!) to hitting home runs in wiffle ball — with campers stepping up as coaches and showing each other how to hold the bat like pros — our group kept the energy high.

We got our bodies moving with yoga and stretching, tapped into our inner artists with splatter-painted trees, and even spent time teaching each other our favorite games — a great way to build confidence and connection!

We’re so proud of the fun, friendship, and growth happening each day. Can’t wait to see what Week 3 brings!
