This Thanksgiving, gratitude practices can be powerful tools for your child's emotional wellbeing - when done right.

Instead of forcing "what are you thankful for," try:

🧡 Notice small moments together: "I loved when we laughed at that joke"
🧡 Model gratitude naturally in everyday conversation
🧡 Let them express gratitude in their own way - drawing, writing, or just talking
🧡 Accept that some days are harder than others

Every child deserves to understand their unique strengths and feel supported through all emotions - not just the "happy" ones.

Our team provides accessible, strength-based support for families navigating their children's mental health journey.

Parenting can feel isolating—especially when you're worried about your child's mental health.

After 35+ years of combined experience, we know: Community changes everything.

That's why we created our Resilient Family Reset workshop series—affordable parent education that gives you practical tools.

You don't have to figure this out alone

The holidays can bring both joy and stress for children. Here are some ways to support your child's mental health this Thanksgiving:

✨ Prepare them for changes in routine - talk about what to expect
✨ Create quiet spaces for breaks from family gatherings
✨ Validate their feelings - it's okay if they're not feeling festive
✨ Keep some familiar routines even during holiday chaos
✨ Watch for signs of overwhelm and offer support

You don't have to figure this out alone. Our team at Herrera Psychology is here to support Sarasota families through the holiday season and beyond.

The holidays are coming.

And if your family doesn't have a shared compass—a clear sense of what matters most—the season can quickly spiral into:

😰 Overscheduling and exhaustion
😰 Conflicts over traditions and expectations
😰 Guilt about not doing "enough"
😰 Kids melting down from overstimulation
😰 Parents feeling disconnected and resentful

What if, instead, you entered the holidays with clarity, intention, and emotional steadiness?

That's what our Family Core Values Workshop is designed to help you create. 💙

This pre-recorded workshop guides you through:
✅ Defining what truly matters to YOUR family
✅ Creating a shared family compass
✅ Building emotional steadiness before the chaos begins
✅ Making decisions that align with your values (not everyone else's expectations)

This workshop is part of a 4-part pre-recorded series. The other three topics cover Parenting in the Digital Age, Learning About Your Family's Genius (Dynamic Families), and Calm & Clear: Parenting an Anxious Child with Compassion & Accountability

4 Workshop Bundle for $199

Define what matters most BEFORE the holidays begin.

As parents, we watch for the big signs. But sometimes teens show us they're struggling in quieter ways:

• Sleeping way more (or way less) than usual
• Withdrawing from activities they used to love
• Increased irritability over small things

If something feels off, trust that feeling. You know your child best.

What signs have you noticed in your teen that made you pause?

When your child is anxious, the words you choose matter. Here are 2 phrases that actually help:

1. "I'm right here with you" - Provides immediate safety and presence
2. "Let's take some deep breaths together" - Models coping

Every child is differently wired with their own unique purpose. What works for one may need adjusting for another.

Our Resilient Family Reset workshops give parents strategies.

This Thanksgiving, consider creating traditions that truly support your child's wellbeing:

🦃 Start a "feelings check-in" before big gatherings
🦃 Build in downtime between activities
🦃 Create a family gratitude jar where everyone contributes when they feel like it
🦃 Establish a "no questions asked" quiet zone
🦃 Make it okay to skip activities that feel overwhelming

When we work together to remove barriers and honor each child's unique needs, we create space for genuine connection and joy.

Every child deserves to understand their unique strengths - especially during the busy holiday season.

Our Sarasota team is here with heart-centered care for your family.

Today is World Kindness Day—a beautiful reminder that small acts of compassion can create ripples of change in our communities. 💙

At Herrera Psychology, kindness is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it's a child learning to express their emotions, a parent seeking support, or a family navigating challenges together—kindness creates the safe space where healing and growth happen.

Here are some simple ways to practice kindness today:
✨ Check in on a friend or neighbor
✨ Offer words of encouragement to your child
✨ Be patient with yourself—you're doing your best
✨ Reach out for support if you need it (that's kindness to yourself!)

Remember: Seeking help shows incredible strength, not weakness. You don't have to figure this out alone. 💛

If your family could use some heart-centered support, we're here. Call us at (813) 395-9049.

When your child is struggling, you don't have to figure it out alone. 💙

At Herrera Psychology, we specialize in heart-centered mental health support for children and teens—offering therapy, comprehensive evaluations, autism testing, gifted testing, wellness check-ups, and parent workshops.

Every child is differently wired with their own unique purpose. When stress leads to uncharacteristic behaviors or chronic concerns, it's often a sign they need additional support to build self-esteem, manage emotions, and develop healthy coping skills.

We're proud FES Scholarship Providers, and all our services are available remotely through HIPAA-compliant, encrypted software—making quality mental health care accessible to families throughout the greater Sarasota area.

After-school availability for all services!

Stress isn't just an adult experience—our children and teens feel it too. 💙

When kids are stressed, you might notice:
• Changes in sleep or appetite
• Increased irritability or mood swings
• Withdrawal from friends or activities
• Physical complaints (headaches, stomachaches)
• Difficulty concentrating at school

The good news? There are practical ways to help:

✨ Create predictable routines that provide stability
✨ Teach simple breathing exercises (even 5 deep breaths can help!)
✨ Make time for physical activity and play
✨ Keep communication open without pressure
✨ Model healthy stress management yourself

Remember: Every child is differently wired with their own unique purpose. What works for one may not work for another—and that's okay.

If your child's stress feels overwhelming or persistent, you don't have to figure this out alone. Our heart-centered team specializes in helping children and teens build resilience and develop healthy coping skills.
