Letter from the Trenches

Parents,
This episode brings you and your kids some amazing wisdom on self care - straight from kids in grade 4 who know what they're talkin' about. As parents, I know how much you do for your kids to help predict what they need, intervene when they aren't safe, try to manage sibling conflict or peer arguments, feed them well, take them to appointments, on and on and on goes the list of things you do to take care of them.

Transferring that knowledge, awareness and sense of "I'm worthy of taking care of me" to your kids is going to be a huge part of growing them up to be adults who understand they are valuable, deserve wellness and care, and that they have options about how to effectively provide that for themselves. Learn together what kids have found to be helpful for them when they get upset, feel stuck, become overwhelmed or just want to stay on top of being their best selves.

And by the way, listening to kids' ideas never ceases to amaze me - blows my mind every time. Have a listen!
