Weekend activity idea!!
Print and cut out this puzzle and have your kids write in or draw their responses. Now they have a puzzle all about themselves, their favorite things, and it even helps them begin to explore their emotions (more resources on emotional regulation coming soon!).

Have fun and stay safe!

One thing we’ve heard a lot of this past week is that nearly 6 weeks of quarantine has created a teeny bit of arguing in households! It’s absolutely natural for conflict to arise when living in close quarters with little outside contact.
To help, we’ve put together one of our favorite basics of conflict resolution for you...how to make a proper apology! Apologizing properly helps make everyone feel calmer and more optimistic.
Print this poster and incorporate it into your next family discussion if tempers keep flaring.

Stay well, everyone... and let us know how else we can help!

A few days ago we posted a graphic we made giving some suggestions for activities kids can choose from if they’re feeling mad or frustrated or having a rough day.
We’ve gotten some messages noting that so many of the coping skills would work for adults too, and we’ve been asked for a parent version. So, by request, here you go! 😀

Keep messaging us if there’s something specific you’re looking for help with. You can also check out all our other free resources at:

What you’re having to do right now is not easy, parents! First, we acknowledge how difficult this is. Second, we remind you it’s tough for the kids too! Next time everyone is feeling frustrated or angry, print this out to help your kids choose something they can do to calm down and try again.

We have lots more free resources on our website and check out our “Tips from the Team” videos over at our sister page for Psychological Wellness Center.

Did you know we are running weekly support groups for all ages including one for women? Next week we’ll run our first FREE parent support hour.
