Told them to pack their own bag for the pool.
They brought 4 stuffed animals and one sock.
No swimsuit. No towel. Just vibes. 🧸🧦💦

I let them stay up late for a movie…
The “just this once” kind of late.
The popcorn-in-pajamas, one-more-snuggle, no-bedtime-rules kind of night. 🍿🛋️✨

We picked something we’ve all seen a dozen times.
Laughed at the same parts. Quoted the lines.
And somewhere between the giggles and the snack refills… we all just knocked out on the couch. A pile of tangled limbs, blankets, and dreams.

Honestly? It was one of my favorite memories ever.

Sometimes the best parenting moments aren’t planned or Pinterest-worthy—they’re messy, sleepy, and imperfectly perfect.

💛 Parenting Support at Child Therapy Boston 💛
We know how hard it can be to support a child who is struggling—and how isolating it can feel when traditional advice doesn’t seem to apply to your reality.

At Child Therapy Boston, we work with families every day who are navigating anxiety, dysregulation, ADHD, mood disorders, school challenges, and complex peer dynamics. And we understand the unique emotional weight that comes with parenting through it all.

You don’t have to do this alone. ✨

Whether you’re looking for:
✔️ Parent coaching (solo or with a partner)
✔️ Individual therapy for yourself
✔️ Workshops or presentations for parent groups (schools, SEPAC, PTOs & more)

—our team is here to support you, not just your child.

We know how deeply you care.
We understand the challenges.
And we have real-world strategies that can help.

📩 Reach out to see if we might be a good fit—we’re happy to chat anytime.

🌿 Wise Words Wednesday 🌿
Life isn’t always consistent—and that’s okay.
Some days feel chaotic, others feel calm.
Some weeks we’re on top of everything. Other times, we’re just getting through.

And one of the most powerful things we can do for our kids?
Let them see that. Hear that. Learn from it.

Instead of pretending we’ve got it all together, let’s model real life—the highs and the lows.

✨ Try saying things like:
🗣️ “I’m not in the mood today, and that’s okay.”
🗣️ “Yesterday I wasn’t feeling it, but today it sounds fun.”
🗣️ “I feel rushed this week. I think I need to slow down next week.”
🗣️ “I had a tough day. I’m going to take a break and reset.”
🗣️ “I was stressed this morning, but I’m feeling better now.”
🗣️ “I’m proud of myself for showing up, even if it wasn’t perfect.”

When we give ourselves permission to be human, we give our kids permission too.
Let them know that life comes in waves—and both the calm and the chaos are worth acknowledging, exploring, and even celebrating.

💛 You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be real.

Tween/Teen Tuesday 

Somewhere between the eye rolls, headphones glued on, and dramatic "OMG, seriously?" moments… there are quiet little wins that remind you:
They’re growing up. 💚

Like when all the cups in the house mysteriously vanished — but today, they not only brought them down, they cleaned their room without being asked. 💙

Or when I braced myself for the usual "What’s for dinner?"… and instead got, “You know what would be good for dinner?” — and we actually made it together. 💜💜

This stage is weird, wonderful, and wildly unpredictable. They’re not quite kids, not quite adults — just morphing, figuring it out, and surprising us along the way.

So here’s to celebrating those golden little moments that shine through the chaos. 💛💛💛
Because they matter. And they mean more than we realize.

Found a frog in the cooler. No one knows how long it was there or how it got there. All I know is that apparently, I am terrified of frogs when they sneak up on me and frogs like coolers....he seemed very happy until I had to get him out.

🌿 Wise Words Wednesday 🌿
Kids and teens may not always seem like they’re listening—but they’re always watching.
That’s why modeling healthy habits and naming them out loud matters more than we think.

Let them hear you say:

🗣️ “It’s summer, so I’m sleeping in a bit—but I’m still getting my steps in today because it helps me feel good.”
🗣️ “Staying up late is fun sometimes, but I always feel off the next day. I need a few early bedtimes this week.”
🗣️ “I love being flexible in the summer, but I also need a few things to stay the same—like my morning coffee and a little quiet time.”
🗣️ “I don’t always feel like going outside, but I know I always feel better when I do.”
🗣️ “I’m trying to take care of myself, not be perfect. That’s what matters.”

We don’t need long lectures—we just need to live out loud a little more.
Let them see us choose rest, balance, and care.
Let them know why.

Because the habits we model become the voice in their heads someday. 💛

😎 Tween/Teen Tuesday 😎
Current summer vibe:
Them — sleep until 1pm
Me — wondering if I’m now raising a very chill, sarcastic owl 🦉

If your tween or teen has become fully nocturnal this summer… you’re not alone.

The late nights, marathon sleep-ins, and flipped schedules can be wildly frustrating—especially when you’re still operating on adult time (aka, morning coffee and 6:45 alarms). ☕⏰

But here’s the good news:
This is actually a super common and developmentally normal shift. Teens need more sleep—and their internal clocks naturally shift later. Summer just amplifies it. So while it may drive us a little bananas, the best we can do is set a few gentle boundaries (and maybe buy blackout curtains).

💬 Try saying:
🗣️ “I know you love staying up late. I just want to make sure you're still getting what your brain and body need.”
🗣️ “You can sleep in, but let’s keep one small routine in the mix—like eating breakfast before 2 p.m.”
🗣️ “It’s your summer too. Let’s find a rhythm that works for both of us.”

Hang in there, parents—this season is weird, wonderful, and probably happening after noon. 💛
