Why does the "most wonderful time of the year" sometimes lead to the biggest meltdowns? 🤯
For kids with ADHD, the holidays are a perfect storm of dopamine spikes (presents! sugar!) and executive function demands (waiting your turn, sitting still, regulating big emotions).
Try the "Bookend" Strategy:
🔹 Start the day with a high-movement activity to burn energy.
🔹 End the activity with a calm, predictable wind-down ritual.
By "bookending" the chaos with regulation, you give their brain a safety anchor. ⚓️
Does your child need more strategies for executive function? Our coaches are ready to help. Link in bio to learn more.

Happy Thanksgiving! We’re gearing up for a big year ahead of us and forever grateful for the support from our Illumii families and community!

The holidays are magical, but they are also loud—visually, auditorily, and emotionally. ✨
For our kids, the shift in routine can feel less like a break and more like chaos. Here is how to turn down the "volume" this season:
1️⃣ Preview the Plans: Anxiety often looks like defiance. Walk your child through the day’s schedule before you leave the house.
2️⃣ Designate a Quiet Zone: Whether you are at Grandma’s or hosting, create a "low-stimulation corner" where your child (or you!) can retreat for 10 minutes.
3️⃣ Prioritize Connection over Perfection: It’s okay if the outfit isn’t perfect or the meal isn’t finished. The best memory they will have is a regulated, happy parent.
Need support navigating family dynamics this season? We are here to help light the path. 💡

Well... Got a surprise today... Coffee Park Airstream is in the running for one of the 10 Best Drive Thru Coffee joints in the Nation!?!
A panel of industry experts and USA TODAY editors selected 20 nominees and we're one of them! Wow!

Not necessarily expecting to beat out the multi-national corps on the list, but for the next 4 weeks, will y'all help us try? Vote once a day. Link below.
Discipline was never supposed to be about blaming, shaming, coercing, or punishing our kids...
What it's really about is teaching them the morals, values, and integrity that will lead them during their childhood and throughout their adulthood
As peaceful parents, our goal is for our actions to inspire our children to learn from us, not from fear of punishment, but because they want to follow in our footsteps
To be the most powerful teachers and leaders of our homes, our teachings must come from a foundational relationship of trust and safety ❤️

Triad-Based ILLUMII Introduces Educational & Parenting Support for Modern Families
Parenting may not come with an instruction manual, but ILLUMII – a holistic educational and parenting support resource in Winston-Salem – is making it easier for Triad-area families to navigate the childhood journey, from cradle to college.
Just as integrated healthcare is revolutionizing collaboration and communication among medical providers, ILLUMII (ill-OO-mee) is changing the game for students and families by combining many common services needed to support the journey through childhood and adolescence.
With educational testing, tutoring, counseling, college prep, parent coaching and more under one roof, ILLUMII’s team of experts works together to help children, teens and parents in a coordinated, caring and personalized way.
ILLUMII founder Kristin Redington Bennett, Ph.D., said this type of coordinated support is something families need more than ever, considering:
20% of children will experience some sort of clinical-level anxiety by adolescence;
As many as 15-20% of the U.S. population as a whole have some of the symptoms of dyslexia and 9% of U.S. children have been diagnosed with ADHD; and
Guidance counselors and school psychologists in North Carolina are overworked and under-resourced, often serving four to five times more students than the national recommendation.
“Many families have trusted advisers for health and finances. Now they can turn to ILLUMII for expertise about the educational and parenting journey,” said Bennett.
Bennett brings decades of professional expertise to her new role – having pioneered, taught and administered educational programs at Wake Forest University, UNC Greensboro and Summit School. Navigating life’s ups and downs with her family’s four children inspired her to establish ILLUMII as a one-stop shop, versus the typical option of seeing a counselor here, a tutor there, and a college prep adviser elsewhere.
“Our ultimate goal is to form long-term relationships with the families we serve, and to stand in their corner with expert insights and advice when they need it most,” she said.
ILLUMII offers a full range of services in a convenient and welcoming space in Reynolda Village:
Educational evaluation & diagnostic testing – As a Nationally Certified Educational Diagnostician, Bennett provides a variety of educational diagnostic tests to help determine the unique learning profile of each child including strengths and vulnerabilities like learning disabilities, ADHD, and giftedness. She is uniquely aware of the challenges students and parents face as they navigate classroom expectations, and the reports she creates flow seamlessly into IEP and 504 plans used in schools.
Counseling & therapy – In-house counselor Martha B. Metzler, LPCA, specializes in working with students and families to address concerns regarding depression, anxiety, behavior management, OCD, and a host of other struggles that often crop up in children and teens, as well as the family dynamics that often accompany them.
Parent learning – ILLUMII’s Mindful Connections parenting program offers in-person and online options. Popular courses such as Intentional Parenting, Parenting the Child You Have, and Parenting Your Teen offer parents tangible tools and strategies that are tailored to their unique relationships with their children.
Tutoring & coaching – Unlike many large tutoring companies, tutoring at ILLUMII is unique to each student, complete with an individualized plan and placement with a tutor who will be a good fit. ILLUMII also provides coaching for students who need executive functioning/ADHD support.
College planning & test prep – For students approaching the end of high school, ILLUMII’s professionals offer test preparation for the SAT and ACT, along with support throughout the college application process. While traditional college counseling services target wealthy families and tend to steer students toward elite institutions, ILLUMII’s program is designed to make families aware of the range of options available to them, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
General educational consultation – The interdisciplinary team of experts at ILLUMII is ready to guide the bright futures of children and teens by consulting on a wide range of educational matters.
Parent Keely Bridges said: “We were so impressed with the report Dr. Bennett prepared for one of our daughters. While it confirmed information we already knew, it also uncovered new information. It was thorough, thoughtful and supportive and will help us provide a detailed understanding of her learning profile to help us partner better with her school. I encourage any parent looking for answers about their children to partner with ILLUMII.”
“With a convenient, welcoming space and a plethora of options for support, we love helping students and families create and achieve big goals,” said Bennett.
