As the evening before Thanksgiving settles in, take a moment to pause and reflect. Are you cherishing the connections within your family, or thinking about ways to deepen them? Are you noticing what your child needs from you to feel understood and behave differently? Maybe you're finding space to explore your own reactions, understanding why certain moments trigger you.
These reflections are something to be thankful for. They represent growth, connection, and the creation of a safe, loving environment. As you prepare for tomorrow’s gathering, remember: gratitude isn’t just about what’s on the table—it’s about these small yet profound steps toward the relationships you’re building.

The Power of Staying Open and Curious
Parenting can feel like walking a tightrope, can’t it? One moment, we’re proud to watch our kids grow and learn. The next, we’re knee-deep in frustration over tantrums, messy rooms, or resistance to homework. It’s in those tough moments that a gentle reminder can shift everything:
“Stay open and curious, keeping in mind your child is doing the best they can, just like you.”
Think about that for a moment. Kids aren’t little adults—they’re navigating big emotions, figuring out boundaries, and learning how the world works. And us? We’re doing the same in our own way, navigating this wild parenting journey without a manual.
We open the door to connection when we approach our child’s behavior with curiosity instead of judgment. Instead of asking, “Why are they acting like this?” try shifting to, “What’s really happening here?” Often, their behavior is the surface-level expression of something more profound—a need for understanding, safety, or reassurance.
And while you’re extending that compassion to your child, don’t forget to offer some to yourself. You’re doing the best you can, too.
Let’s make space for curiosity, grace, the messy, beautiful learning process, and growing together. 💛

🦃✨ Navigating Thanksgiving with Less Stress & More Joy ✨🦃
Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude—but let’s be real, it can also come with stress (for you and your kiddos). Managing time off from school, family gatherings, and high expectations can be a lot! Here are 5 tips to help your family find balance over the break:
1️⃣ Set Realistic Expectations
Not every moment has to be picture-perfect. Focus on small, meaningful moments rather than aiming for perfection.
2️⃣ Create a Flexible Routine
Kids thrive on predictability. Even during the holiday, stick to familiar wake-up, meal, and bedtime rhythms to help them stay regulated.
3️⃣ Prep Together
Get your kids involved in age-appropriate tasks like decorating, setting the table, or making simple dishes. Feeling included can prevent boredom and misbehavior.
4️⃣ Plan Quiet Time
Amid the excitement, carve out moments for downtime—reading a book, coloring, or simply taking deep breaths. It’s good for kids and adults!
5️⃣ Use Simple Phrases to Navigate Big Emotions
Try calming language like:
"I see you’re upset. Let’s take a breath together."
"It’s okay to feel this way; how can we fix it together?"
💡 Remember: Holidays are about connection, not perfection. Give yourself grace and focus on what really matters: making memories together.

✨ Parenting Tip for a Calmer Evening ✨
Evenings can be tough, especially after a long day when everyone is running low on patience and energy. Here's a simple tip to help shift the energy in your home tonight:
"Connection Before Correction"
When your child is struggling—whether it's with homework, bedtime routines, or big emotions—pause and connect with them first. A hug, a kind word, or even sitting down at their level can work wonders.
💡 This small act shows your child they are seen and valued, which often reduces resistance and helps them feel safe enough to cooperate.
Remember, it's not about perfect parenting—it's about intentional moments that foster trust and understanding. You’ve got this! 💖

If you have had a long, challenging day with your kiddo by 8 pm, the need for a reset is real. 😅 Here’s what I’ve found helpful in winding down, especially for us ADHD parents:
✨ Give Yourself Grace – Today was tough, but remember, every day is a chance to learn and grow. Release any guilt or stress from the day. You’re doing the best you can.
🌿 Take 5 Minutes for Deep Breathing—Find a quiet space (even if it’s the bathroom!) and take a few deep breaths. This simple act can help calm your nervous system and reset your focus.
🎶 Choose a Relaxing Activity—Whether it’s listening to soothing music, a podcast, or sipping a warm tea, find a small comfort that will bring you back to center.
📋 Jot Down a Thought or Two – Reflect on something positive or a small win from the day. Was there a small moment where you and your child connected? Acknowledge it.
Remember, tomorrow’s a new day. Parenting is a journey; you’re navigating it with resilience and love. 💛 You’ve got this!
