Thrive Christian Counseling

We all want our kids to be happy — but they also need permission to feel EVERYTHING. Because happiness isn’t the only emotion that belongs.

When children learn to name their feelings — I’m sad, I’m angry, I feel scared — they learn that emotions aren’t threats, they’re messengers.
They don’t have to hide or shut down to stay loved.

So many of us were taught that silence was strength — that calm meant control. But real strength is being able to feel without fear. To stay present in discomfort and still choose connection.

That’s why teaching emotional language matters. It’s how we break the cycle of shutting down and start raising kids who can speak what hurts before it hardens.

Because every feeling they can name is one they can move through…

And that’s how they learn that they are stronger than the storm. ❤️

From the very beginning, God designed us for community. Scripture reminds us that "It is not good for man to be alone" (Genesis 2:18) and that we are called to "carry each other's burdens" (Galatians 6:2).

Life was never meant to be lived in isolation. True strength, healing, and joy are found when we walk together—in faith, in love, and in community.

It’s National Read a Book Day 📖 so we’re turning to one of our favorites, The Love Prescription.

Think about it. When was the last time you noticed the little things… the coffee waiting for you in the morning, the quick text to check in, the way they quietly handled something so you didn’t have to?

It’s easy to miss those gestures when negativity takes over, but choosing to notice the good is what helps love last.

So today, in honor of Read a Book Day, take a page from the Gottmans and ask yourself: what’s one small thing your partner has done lately that deserves a little extra appreciation? 💭❤️

Kindness sets off a chain reaction. It replicates itself. It goes viral. In a beautiful, miraculous way, it spreads by transforming those it touches so they become carriers and pass it along.
