Love this message…giving children the freedom to experiment and be curious is one of the best gifts we can give them. It’s their natural state to explore, test, and wonder.

Check out my new PBSKids article to learn 5 ways to help your child develop a healthy relationship with their emotions. Here’s a sneak peak: Create your own family motto.

Creating a family motto about emotions can anchor everyone and be a great reminder when times get tough.

When we commit, we feel more connected. When we know emotions are welcomed into our homes, we feel more at ease and less stressed when they do visit (and they will!).

There are many fun ways to show our children that emotions are okay, welcomed, and a healthy part of life. Here are five things you can do now to help your child develop a healthy and playful relationship with their emotions.

Ever felt or thought “I’m a bad parent!” “I can’t believe I just did that!” “What came over me?”

You’re not alone 😊 This is a natural part of being a parent, and there’s a reason why.

Grow your understanding of what’s happening in these parenting moments. Acknowledge and release the harsh self-judgments.

If we have more compassion and understanding for ourselves, then we can pay it forward to our children too ❤️

Happy Mother’s Day to you!

Acknowledging all the special and unique ways you show up for yourself and your family.

Noticing the beautiful messiness of motherhood.

Pausing to notice all the ways you’ve grown as a mother and as a person.

Wishing you a wonderful day 😊 ~Dr. Alana.

Thank you Miles for this thoughtful picture of you and me ❤️

Great quick read all about how to grow that "I did it" feeling within our children.

If you've been trained to do the opposite, you're not alone.
