Transitions can be hard! Separation anxiety, demand avoidance, generalized anxiety - all of these challenges and so many more can show up around transitions! Managing transitions can be an important growth opportunity for our kids - and us as parents/caregivers!
There needs to be a balance of firmness with flexibility in what works for our child. Transitions do require firm limits, but the magic is in finding the balance between:
1. Not being too rigid within those limits
2. OR too flexible in that we give our kids too much control.

Our kids need to go out into the world in order to grow into their full potential! They need the community, challenges, opportunities, and novelty that separating from home brings. We can't control what happens to them out there. But we can control what happens to them with us. We can create a safe place for them to come back home too.

When we can see our role in transitions and let go of parts that are out of our control - what our kids need all of a sudden becomes much more clear.

We made coping skill shields and talked about what feelings are hard today. During this, all of the kids were able to identify feelings that were more difficult and how that showed up in their body. Common ones were mad, worried, lonely and bored. At the end of the day, the kids were all proud of the shields and left with a feeling of empowerment. Sometimes just creating space to talk about these emotions through play can increase a child's confidence in dealing with them. If this sounds like it would be right for your child then you don't want to miss the rest of the groups available this summer! Check out the flyer for more

Research has shown that children rate family time more positively than adults. The research also indicated that kids focus less on the family conflict and more on the family memories so keep in mind the stories they will tell will be the happy ones.

We want you to know that if family time comes with chaos, conflict, and stress you are not alone and your kids will always view it more positive than you think!

This week we kicked off the start of our pilot program for parenting intense kids. We have poured so much love, time, and research into this program for you. Parents of intense kids need to have a community of people who get it, who don’t judge you, and who can relate to what you’re going through. We created that space with this in mind. We want you to be seen, to be held, and to be equipped with new information to incorporate for your family. We trust that you know your child the best and we work together to talk through a plan of action.

Check out our newest summer group offering! This is for the little ones and caregivers. This was inspired by Bethany’s son who is a sensory sensitive little guy.

Learning how to fill up a child’s sensory cup is one key to improved regulation, sleep, tantrums and improving attention. There is so many different sensory activities and this group teaches you about the seven categories of sensory needs as well as gives you practical activities to take with you.

Every day we have parents we see who live this truth. This one is dedicated to all of you out there who are working tirelessly for your children. You are the true heroes. Those of you who just feel like you're failing everyday, but you get up and you keep fighting. We have so much admiration for you.

If this letter speaks to you, then our Parenting Intense Kids Program is perfect for you. We designed this with you in mind and we start with compassion. We start with being a place where YOU are actually seen for all your efforts. We want YOU to feel seen, cared for, understanding and accepted for all that you do. Most of all, we want you to be HELPED.

At the end of our program, you will be more knowledgeable about 6 core areas in parenting (communication, sleep, nutrition, transitions, and sensory needs). This will help you assess how to tweak these areas to get your family back to a place that feels manageable. We are launching this summer and can't wait to get all the information out to you
