CACTS Counseling

08/14/2025

A new school year can bring lots of emotions — excitement, worry, and change. Teach your child to talk kindly to themselves with this simple affirmation.

Save this and say it together before bed, on the way to school, or after a tough moment.

Self-awareness helps children:
💬 Understand their feelings
🧩 Make better choices
🤝 Build stronger friendships
🌟 Grow confidence from the inside out

This month, try asking your child:
🔹 “What made you feel proud today?”
🔹 “What was a hard moment, and how did you handle it?”
🔹 “What are you really good at?”

These simple conversations build a powerful foundation for emotional growth. 💪🌈
Let’s celebrate small moments of reflection all month long! 💭💗

Summer isn’t a race—slow down. Kids need unstructured time to rest, recharge, and just be. That’s where the magic (and the mental health) happens.
