As you consider your own needs during this time of year, remember that some children are not looking forward to the disruption in routine. Some children feel safer at school and in a steady schedule that may not be available to them at home or with their caregiver. Welcome an abundance of patience and grace as the children/students you care for navigate the anticipation, excitement (and perhaps worry and anxiety) about the holidays.

Focusing on what matters most can be difficult to determine when we get caught up in cycles of reactivity and all the 'noise' that circles us in community and media. Developing time to cultivate peace for yourself (in whatever form that looks like), can help you keep a sense of balance and prioritize your needs and the needs of those you care about the most with greater intention and clarity.

I love these free downloadable posters that focus on strategies to self-regulate and co-regulate (caregiver and child can do them together!).

It can be difficult to let go of the swirl of overwhelm and all the world throws our way in a given day. Days that don't find us in our best state of mind are reminders to take it one moment... one breath at a time.

Children don't always understand our timeline, our level of patience (or impatience), our emotional state. These are skills of awareness they're still working on developing. This can lead to moments of dysregulation that surprise us or catch us off guard and not always in our best frame of mind.

When we can acknowledge behavior is a form of communication, we can respond with compassion and curiosity. I believe this quote and sentiment are equally valid for the adults in our lives as well. Finding connection can feel vulnerable and uncertain. An abundance of grace for ourselves, our children and those around us each day can lead to a greater understanding of our shared human experience.

When we can let go of judgement we can see potential. Considering how our judgments may be holding ourselves back (in addition to potential for harm to those around us), can provide tremendous insight into creating a stronger sense of authentic support for yourself and those around you. It helps shift both you and others into a 'what is possible' mindset rather than feeling stuck or held back.

It can be easy to get stuck in patterns or habits of doing or experiences that don’t align with the best version of ourselves. Taking a moment to choose calm, a deep breath and a reminder that much of what we may worry about is beyond our control can be helpful to restoring a sense of peace in our thoughts.

Finding harmony and cultivating peace - my latest newsletter is out.

Finding Harmony in Nature I've been finding the greatest sense of peace in nature these days. The peaty smell of decaying leaves, the lingering smoke from a chimney, the crisp morning air and the golden hue of the sunlight are some of my favorite things to linger on during this time of year. I frequ...
