Are you a parent navigating through a separation? Are you uncertain of what to do and how to best support your kids? I would highly recommend checking out Rooted, a program Family Centre in Lethbridge is running. They also have a Separation and Divorce Navigator (Jessica Rau) that can assist you through your journey too.

You dont have to navigate this alone.

Going through separation or divorce? You're not alone — and your parenting journey doesn't have to be a struggle.

Rooted: Parenting from Stability after Separation & Divorce is a parent education and support program designed to help you:
- Communicate better with your co-parent
- Manage big emotions during tough transitions
- Set healthy boundaries for stability
- Support your children through grief & loss

Includes a peer support group for kids 6+ to help them process change in a safe, age-appropriate way. Child care option as well. Let’s work together to build connection, not conflict — for you and your children. Thursdays October15 - December 17, 6-8pm.

With the start of school and the uncertainty that comes with it, there is often an uptick in kiddos experiencing anxiety.

The Mindshift app is packed full of great resources to help with learning about the anxiety, relaxation tools, and various other things to help calm the anxiety warrier inside.

I also have various resources on my website for parents and kids to check out.

Although some anxiety is normal, if your child or youth is expriencing a higher level of distress I highly encourage reaching out for support to a therapist.

Free evidence-based anxiety management tools using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Manage stress, panic, and worry with personalized strategies.

Friendship tip: This is a great analogy from Brene Brown to teach kids about people that blow out our candle and those that celebrate who we are. Remember kids are learning to be friends so if you witness your child being a candle blow outer use it as a teaching/learning moment. If you see them celebrating a friend also take a moment to encourage that as well.

Shout out to Institute of Child Psychology for the share. If you don't yet follow them, check them out for loads of great tips and resources for parents.
