💧Crying isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s one of healthiest and most natural ways to process big emotions.

Kids (and adults) cry when we’re feeling:
😢 Overwhelmed, frustrated, or stressed
😢 Sad, disappointed, or scared
😢 Excited, relieved, or happy

Crying is cathartic and helps us to:
✨ Release tension from our bodies
✨ Process our emotions safely
✨ Communicate when words are hard
✨ Regulate our mood and restore calm

As adults, the best ways to respond to our kids are by:
✅ Staying calm and present
✅ Offering comfort, not judgment
✅ Letting them know that it’s okay to feel what they feel

Instead of saying “stop crying” or “don’t be upset,” try these phrases:
💬 “It’s okay to cry. I’m here with you.”
💬 “You’re safe. I’ll sit with you until you feel better.”

Crying is a part of emotional growth. Every tear is a healthy step toward learning how to manage feelings and build resilience.

December can feel like a lot with unpredictable weather, busy schedules, holiday planning, expectations, excitement, and a whole mix of emotions. When we feel stressed or overwhelmed, sometimes our nervous systems require a few steps to fully relax…

Take it from my bunny Clover: you can start tense, slow down, and fully melt into calm. 😂💛

The upcoming holidays can be magical but also overwhelming for kids and parents alike!🕎🎄

You don’t need to say “yes” to everything during the holidays. Setting boundaries around gifts, screens, bedtimes, events, and even relatives is not mean. It’s protective of you and your family.

Small, consistent boundaries provide your kids with a sense of predictability, safety, and calm during the holidays. Boundaries also help decrease anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and build healthy relationships. Remember that your kids don’t need the holidays to be perfect; they just need you. 💛

✨ Hello, December! ✨

The final month of the year has arrived, and here are a few of my favorite things: I’m soaking in all the festive holiday music, twinkling lights, cozy decorations, and scrumptious hot chocolate. I’m also hoping for some snow days (if you work in a school, you’d understand!) and looking forward to spending extra time with my family during the holidays. ❄️☕💛

In my practice, this season is all about slowing down, discovering moments of joy, and celebrating the growth that I’ve the opportunity to observe in the kids, adults, and families I work with every day.

Here’s to a bright, warm, and connected December!

🍂 Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁

Today, I’m feeling especially grateful for the amazing community that supports my work.

To my clients and their parents: thank you so much for your trust, openness, and willingness to partner with me. Collaborating with you and watching your children thrive is truly one of the greatest gifts of my career.

To my community network: the psychologists, therapists, SLPs, OTs, executive function coaches, educators, tutors, pediatricians, psychiatrists, and dentists who either provided me with the expertise to get started, collaborated with me, connected with me in-person or virtually, referred to me, and/or supported me, I am so thankful for each of you, and your support means so much. Here are a few people I’m especially grateful for: .hilary .pediatrics

And to my friends and family: your encouragement, patience, and love have enabled me to do this work wholeheartedly.

Wishing everyone a restful, warm, and connected Thanksgiving. 🧡

During a nature walk this week, I encountered this calm and clean lake with clear reflections of the trees and clouds. Seeing the reflections reminded me that kids learn how to practice gratitude by observing and mirroring the adults around them.

💡 Tips for parents:
🙏Share what you’re grateful for with your child/adolescent, whether it’s big or small.
🙏Tell them about challenges that you’ve faced and what you learned from them.
🙏Make gratitude practice a part of everyday life, not just during Thanksgiving.

By modeling gratitude, you are teaching your kids to notice and appreciate the good things and moments in their own lives, which builds their emotional awareness and resilience.

✨Try it today and see what they notice.

Teens aren’t just being teens when they stay up later at night; their bodies are actually wired that way. 🌙✨
During adolescence, their circadian rhythm naturally shifts, making it harder for them to fall asleep early and wake up refreshed, which isn't so great for school. While we can’t change biology, we can support healthier sleep habits.

Here are some teen-friendly strategies to help reset and regulate sleep:

🛏️ Start with a relaxing bedtime routine. Calm activities help the brain wind down.
☕ Limit caffeine and keep dinners light. Heavy meals and late-day caffeine can delay sleep even more.
🏃 Get daytime exercise. Movement boosts sleep quality.
⏰ Stick to a consistent sleep schedule (even on weekends!) Stability strengthens the sleep-wake cycle.
☀️ Maximize daytime light + minimize evening light. Bright morning light helps keep the body wake up, and dimmer evening lights signal that it’s time to rest.

These small, consistent changes can lead to big improvements in mood, focus, and energy for your teen’s brain. 💛

Here’s a gentle reminder for anyone feeling stressed or overwhelmed:

You can control:
✅Your actions
✅Your boundaries
✅How you respond
✅How you care for your mind and body
✅What you choose to focus on

You cannot control:
❎How others behave
❎How others feel
❎How others respond
❎Unexpected events
❎What others think

When we shift our focus toward the things that we can actually control, life begins to feel a little lighter. We spend less energy attempting to manage everything around us, and more energy taking care of ourselves, making choices we feel proud of, and creating the kind of days we want to live.

🧠 Feeling stressed or overwhelmed lately?

Try the “5-4-3-2-1” grounding exercise:

Name
👀5 things you can see
✋4 things you can touch
👂3 things you can hear
👃2 things you can smell
👅1 thing you can taste

This grounding exercise brings your attention to the present moment, helping your brain shift away from your worries and calm your nervous system. Many of my clients find this exercise incredibly helpful. 🌟
