It’s okay for our kiddos to be bored in the summer months! And here’s why…

Why Is It So Important to Be Bored? Boredom triggers mind-wandering, and mind-wandering leads to creativity.

We need cognitive flexibility to transition between tasks and follow daily routines. How can we help children develop these skills?

What Is Cognitive Flexibility and How do I Help my Child With It? Does your child become stuck thinking about topics in only one way? Do they struggle to ‘switch’ their approach and use a different problem-solving strategy? Is it more challenging for them to do something differently than how they normally do it? Are they rigid in their thinking?

On January 31st, join us at 7pm MST for our monthly online meetup on Zoom. This week, we have a special guest, Sadiya Shah, registered provisional psychologist of Fish Creek Psychology.

Sadiya specializes in trauma, ADHD, dissociation and BIPOC issues. This meetup will feature a short interview with Sadiya, followed by an open Q&A and trauma discussion.

Alarming study links screen time in early childhood to atypical sensory processing A new study has found that early and excessive screen time in children is significantly associated with sensory processing difficulties. The findings have been published in JAMA Pediatrics.

Quick reminder that the holiday season can be a lot of things: fun, magical, exciting…stressful, busy, exhausting.

Teens have a lot of work to get done in the next few weeks. Many have finals before winter break; others have finals after the break.

There’s a lot going on and it’s a lot to manage, so be gentle with them. Empathize. Support. Cheer them on.

Be there.
