🌟 “Children are not a distraction from more important work. They are the most important work.”
– C.S. Lewis

It’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of life — deadlines, chores, responsibilities. But at the end of the day, investing in our children is the work that truly matters. 💗

At Growing Minds Psychology, we support families in nurturing children’s emotional health, resilience, and confidence — because every child’s growth shapes the future. 🌱

✨ Tip Tuesday ✨
Boosting Working Memory in Kids 🧠💡

Working memory is like a mental sticky note—it helps kids hold information long enough to use it. Strengthening this skill can improve learning and daily tasks!

Try this simple strategy:
📝 “Repeat & Picture It” – After giving your child directions, ask them to repeat it back and then imagine themselves doing it.
👉 Example: “Hang up your backpack, then wash your hands.”
They say it out loud and picture the steps.

This helps kids stay focused, follow through, and build independence! 🌈

🌿 “Kids don’t need perfection. They need connection.”
– Dr. Jody Carrington

Children aren’t looking for perfect parents — they’re looking for present ones. Your warmth, attention, and effort matter more than getting it all right. 💗

At Growing Minds Psychology, we guide parents and caregivers in building stronger emotional bonds and resilient communication with their kids. Connection is the heart of healing.

Helping Kids with Transitions 🧠💜💗

Transitions—like stopping playtime to start homework—can be tough for kids. Try using a “5-Minute Countdown” to make changes smoother.
⏰ Give your child a heads-up that the activity will end soon.
👉 Remind them at 5, 3, and 1 minute left.
🌈 This helps kids feel prepared, reduces frustration, and builds flexibility over time!

At Growing Minds Psychology, we are mindful of how events like this can bring up big feelings for children and families. Take a moment today to check in with your loved ones, listen to their thoughts, and offer reassurance. ❤️

✨ Together, we remember. Together, we heal. ✨

🧠 “What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?”
– Erin Hanson

Taking risks, trying something new, or facing a challenge can feel scary — for kids and adults alike. But when we focus on possibility instead of fear, we empower children to take flight.

At Growing Minds Psychology, we help children build the confidence to try, fall, and soar — knowing they are supported every step of the way. 💫

Mindful Moments for Kids 🧠💗

Encourage your child to take one-minute mindful breaks throughout the day.
👉 Close their eyes.
👉 Take 3 slow, deep breaths.
👉 Notice one thing they can hear, see, and feel.

This simple practice helps kids reset, reduce stress, and improve focus. Over time, it can boost self-regulation and emotional well-being! 🌈

💡 Try building it into homework time, bedtime, or transitions between activities.

🌸 Growing Minds Psychology – Su***de Awareness Month 🌸

September is Su***de Awareness Month, a time to remind families that talking about mental health saves lives. 💜💗

✨ What Parents Should Know
• Su***de is the second leading cause of death for youth ages 10–24.
• Having open, non-judgmental conversations with your child can make a big difference.
• Warning signs may include sudden withdrawal, changes in mood, giving away possessions, or talking about feeling like a burden.

✨ How Parents Can Help
• Listen first – your child needs to feel heard before they feel helped.
• Check in often – even small “How are you really doing?” moments matter.
• Seek support early – therapy, parent coaching, and school collaboration can provide tools and safety.

✨ You Are Not Alone
If you or your child ever have concerns, please know support is available.
📞 Call or text 988 for the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline – available 24/7.

At Growing Minds Psychology, we are committed to nurturing minds and empowering futures. If you have concerns about your child’s mental health, reach out to us today. Together, we can make a difference.

✨ Executive Functioning Tip: Boosting Working Memory ✨

Working memory is like your child’s “mental sticky note”—it helps them hold onto information while using it. Strengthening this skill makes a big difference for learning and daily tasks!

🧠 Try these strategies at home:
1️⃣ Chunk it down – Break directions into 1–2 steps at a time.
2️⃣ Repeat & rehearse – Encourage your child to say instructions back to you.
3️⃣ Use visuals – Post checklists, schedules, or sticky notes to reduce memory load.
4️⃣ Make it multi-sensory – Pair words with movement, pictures, or songs.

💡 Remember: Kids build working memory through practice. Small supports now lead to big gains in independence and confidence! 🌟
