Is your child or teen struggling with:

DISTRACTED MINDS - Do they have trouble focusing their attention or responding thoughtfully because too many different things are swirling around them, and perhaps inside them?
DISTRESSED EMOTIONS - Are they experiencing chronic feelings of anxiety, worry, anger, irritability, or shame that are made worse by intrusive thoughts and negative self-talk?
DISRUPTIVE BEHAVIORS - Do they tend to argue or avoid, such that daily routines are fraught with trigger points, outbursts, and meltdowns? Are they more reactive than reflective?

Do you, as a Parent or Teacher, struggle with:

Your own distracting thoughts and anxious feelings?
Daily interactions with your kids that are more frustrating than fun?
Self-doubt about what's wrong and what do do about it?
Chronic overwhelm and exhaustion ("too much to do, too little time")?

If you're feeling like your children's stress levels are increasing and their mental health is at risk, you're not alone. Studies show significant post-pandemic increases in childhood anxiety, depression, suicide risk, and behavior problems. And yet...

There is hope.

There are simple, effective ways to support kids and strengthen their mental health.

One of the most important factors contributing to a child's mental health is the core life skill known as self-regulation. That is, the ability to focus one's mind, to calm one's emotions, and to inhibit one's impulses enough that you can respond thoughtfully, rather than react emotionally, to the demands of life.

How do children develop self-regulation?

Children develop self regulation through attuned relationships with self-regulating adults.

This core process is known as co-regulation.

Simply put, kids calibrate their nervous system on ours. The more calm, cool, and collected we are, the more we can be present to see, soothe, and strengthen our children's developing nervous systems. And boy do they need that more than ever.

While it may be simple, it isn't always easy.

That's where the Mindful Solutions Approach [TM] to raising and teaching kids comes in.

The Mindful Solutions Approach [TM] is founded on three core practices that contribute to emotional resilience and well-being:

AWARENESS - Seeing clearly what is.
ACCEPTANCE - Making peace with what is.
ALIGNED ACTION - Responding wisely to what is.

By practicing these three foundational principles in this introductory program, you can begin to teach self-regulation to your children while providing self-care for yourself.

You can establish healthy, co-regulating relationships with your children and students. And you can transform the vicious cycle of toxic stress into the virtuous cycle of mindful caregiving.
