Hi lovely humans!

I am curious...

Are you interested in a monthly group?

• parents have time to talk, share their experiences, offer support to other parents

Here are some resources for building awareness of emotions!

As always - take what works for you and leave the rest!

We know it isn't possible to debrief every time big emotions come

up for our kids. Importantly, you need to be relaxed and in a state to be present. And , if you are standing in line at the grocery store, it likely isn't the environment that will support debriefing emotions! You know your child best and therefore, you know when is a good time to facilitate some reflection and awareness building.

As soon as possible, after your child has returned to a relaxed state, using a few questions or prompts, or activities can help them work through the emotions they just experienced, and is helpful for kids of all ages for a few reasons:

Here are links and files we talked about in the workshop for mindfulness.

If you have any great resources, please share!
