Attachment Parenting

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.  #parentingtips

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

As the holidays get closer, I notice that my body heats up and tightens - I need ways to cool down and let go of the stress. Those body cues of ‘too much’ are my signal to get outside and take deep breaths.  #stressrelief #parenting #selfcare

Every year at #Thanksgiving I like to use at least one special family recipe. My kids and I get a chance to talk more about their #family and where they come from. It’s especially sweet to get some photos of us #cooking together, which I know they’ll like having down the road.

Research shows that "our history of relational health—connectedness to family, community, and culture—is more predictive of our mental health than our history of adversity” - Bruce Perry #parenting #family #community #culture

When my child comes to me to talk, I don't need to have any answers. My presence and listening are the best medicine. #parenting #timetogether #listening

My physical body has limits! The fall has been a bustling time, but I can give both myself and my child permission to rest and renew our spirits. #parenting #timetogether

Hearing the family stories repeatedly anchors a sense of who we are and gives us feelings of hope and belonging. #parenting #familyhistory #storytime

Small moments mean connections do not have to be complicated to be powerful. #connections #parenting #timetogether

Invite your child into your self-care today in some small way. #parenting #parentingsupport #family #timetogether

When I allow for a little time for my child to unwind after school and activities, she knows she has a place to just “be” without any expectation.   #parenting #afterschool #unwind #downtime

Good stuff happens in the kitchen - before, during, and after the meal. #parenting #timetogether #family

If your child could choose how you would spend the day together, what would they choose? #parenting #timetogether
