🧡 When we co-regulate with children, we’re not just calming the moment—we’re building their future. 🌱

✨ By guiding them through big emotions with patience and support, we help them develop the confidence and tools to self-regulate over time. 💪🧠

🤝 Regulation starts with us! Let’s teach, model, and nurture emotional growth together. 💖

January's Affirmation 😍

“It’s time to go.” said Bear.
“But where are we going?” asked Rabbit.
“Forward,” said Bear, “we can’t stay here anymore.”
“So much has happened here though. I don’t know that I can move on.” said Rabbit.
“You can stay if you want,” said Bear, “but life won’t wait with you.”
“It won’t?” asked Rabbit.
“No,” said Bear, “besides, up ahead there might be something wonderful.”
“You think so?” asked Rabbit.
“I think...” said Bear, “if you stay here, you’ll never know.”

Gatherings are meant to be joyful. And they also change everything for children and teens.

When homes fill with people, routines shift and emotions rise — especially for younger children. They need adults to lead them through the day, orient them to what’s happening, and stay close when things wobble. Without that leadership, kids often take matters into their own hands — not out of defiance, but because they’re overwhelmed and out of their regular structure and routine.

A little prevention goes a long way. Anticipating hot spots, staying flexible, and keeping adults in the mix helps everyone enjoy being together — even when plans change or emotions spill over.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about leading with relationship when the house is full.

Save or share with the adults you gather with.

Happy holidays!
