It’s a beautiful morning to get those direct sun rays in!

Just 10 minutes a day of direct sunlight first thing in the morning is SO good for you - here are just a few of the many benefits:

☀️ increases active vitamin D
☀️ regulates circadian rhythm = better sleep
☀️ improves learning ability and memory
☀️ enhances serotonin levels (aka the happy neurotransmitter)
☀️ increases endorphin levels (aka the feel good chemicals)
☀️ improves immune system function

Don't let your thoughts get in the way of living a better life. This includes how we teach our kids to think and has an effect on the trajectory of their life. It's important to remind yourself that not all of your thoughts are true and it's possible to retrain your brain to think more helpful thoughts. Here's to quality over quantity!

We are always so happy to hear that our patients and their families are happy! We love diving in to treat root causes of illness rather than aiming to treat the resulting symptoms.

More examples of phrases you can use with kids to encourage a growth mindset.

The first one requires patience and understanding - deep breathing can be helpful for parents in these moments 😅

The second is easier to manage - even if we may be disappointed with our child’s actions (or their imperfections) we absolutely LOVE them, and telling them that creates a safe space. This safety net allows for them to feel confident and loved when exploring their world, and can help them truly believe mistakes are okay and are opportunities to learn from.
