When my child acts out, I know that it’s because she lacks some skills needed for the situation. When I can patiently model those skills for her over time, it helps her learn to tolerate frustration, problem-solve, and become more flexible.

- We invite you to embrace the #holidayseason as a time for nurturing the bonds that matter most - the relationship between #parent and #child. Amidst the hustle and bustle, take time to nurture the #love and connection within your own #family. nurturings.org
- Make a #goal to create a small moment each morning to greet your child in a way that lets him know that you take delight in him. This is the touchstone that guides him through the day. #parentingtips #goodmorning
- Studies show that children's and adolescents’ bodies and minds are the most regulated when they’re at #play. Ensuring my child gets solid chunks of uninterrupted #playtime throughout the day helps everything run a little smoother in my family. #parenting
- The #holiday season can come with a busy mind full of planning and expectations about what things “should” look like. This year, I can give myself the #gift of taking each moment as it comes and looking for the beauty in whatever is happening. #parenting
