Grief looks different for every child and teen. As caregivers and adults, our role isn’t to take away their pain — it’s to help them feel safe as they move through it.

💬 Listen with presence. Create space for emotions without rushing to fix them.
💛 Be honest and age-appropriate. Simple, clear explanations help kids make sense of what’s happened.
🏠 Maintain routines. Predictability can provide a sense of safety during uncertain times.
🎨 Encourage expression. Art, play, and storytelling allow children to process emotions in their own way.
🌱 Model healthy coping. Showing your own emotions with care teaches that grief is natural and manageable.

Grieving is not about “getting over” loss — it’s about finding ways to hold it and heal.
If you notice prolonged sadness, withdrawal, or changes in behavior, professional support can make a difference. 💛

Great Reminders!

Yes!

Are you willing to pause? What a great reminder that we are allowed to pause and regulate before responding! Let’s model the behaviors we want to see from our kids.

Teaching kids emotional regulation starts with modeling it ourselves.

⁠Instead of reacting in the heat of the moment, try saying:

🗣️ “I’m too angry to have a helpful conversation right now, so I’m going to take some time to calm down, and then we’ll talk in a bit.”

It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being present, honest, and willing to pause.💫

Moments like this are actually valuable teaching moments—because it’s how kids learn to manage their own big feelings, too.❤️

Mental health tip: Slow down. Notice the little things.
☕The warm mug in your hands.
🌬A deep breath.
🗒A kind message.
🍂The way the light hits the leaves.
These tiny moments are the heartbeat of a calmer mind.
You don’t always need a big change to feel better. Sometimes, it’s just being present enough to appreciate what’s already here.

World Mental Health Day | October 10
Today is a reminder that mental health matters just as much as physical health. 💚�Let’s break the stigma, start conversations, and support one another — because no one should face their struggles alone.
Take a moment to check in with yourself and those around you. Small acts of kindness, listening, and understanding can make a big difference.

“Pressure is inevitable. How we respond to it is optional.”
Dr. Spencer Wood’s “Turning Pressure Into Possibility” reminds us that the greatest wins often come from cultivating mental grit—not just physical strength.
Weakness is not falling down. It’s failing to rise. Every misstep is a chance to learn, reset, and grow stronger.
Let’s train our minds as fiercely as we train our bodies.
🔸 Flush the past.
🔸 Fix the lesson.
🔸 Forget the judgment.
Because pressure isn’t a wall—it’s a doorway.

Our booth was all about fun and stress relief — we loved helping kids, parents, and everyone in between make their own stress balls. These little creations are more than just toys — they’re a great way to release emotions and manage big feelings!

We’re so grateful we got to be part of this incredible, fun-filled day with our community!
