Has your child ever told you they feel like everyone has a friend group except them? 💛

It’s hard to hear, especially when your first instinct is to fix it. Sometimes, the best place to start is simply listening, validating how they feel, and helping them focus on one meaningful connection at a time.

Not sure how to support your child through friendship struggles? IFC Parent Coaching can help.

Parenting is full of these moments. ✌️✊

Wanting to fix everything or get all the details comes from curiosity and love, but sometimes the most supportive thing we can do is pause, listen, and give our kids and teens a little space. 💛

Do you supervise therapists or clinical trainees? This training is for you. 💬

Join Ruth Mills, LCSW, and TEOC Training Institute for Experiential Supervision, a hands-on training focused on strengthening the way you guide and support clinicians.

Through live demonstrations, role-play, and group reflection, you’ll practice navigating supervisory relationships and explore how patterns between a therapist and client can also show up in supervision, a concept called “parallel process.”

Getting one-word answers from your teen? You’re not alone. 💛

Is your child in a bad mood after school and not really interested in talking? 💭

After a long school day, some kids need time to decompress before they’re ready to open up. Giving them space first, then reconnecting with a simple, specific question later can make conversation feel easier and less pressured. 💛

Su***de prevention can start with the little things. 💛

Checking in. Listening. Asking questions. Noticing changes. Creating a safe space to talk.

You don’t need all the right words. Being present matters.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988.

Talking about su***de can feel scary, especially when it comes to our children. But avoiding the conversation doesn’t make the risk disappear. 💛

Knowing what to look for, asking direct questions, and creating space for honest conversations can help parents and caregivers recognize when a child or teen may need additional support.

This Su***de Prevention Month, we’re sharing information every parent should know about youth su***de prevention, from recognizing warning signs to understanding how to respond when you’re concerned.

When your child clings to you in new or unfamiliar situations, it can be tempting to encourage them to jump right in. But sometimes, they need a little more time to feel safe first. 💛

Does your child need extra time to warm up around new people? Let us know below. 👇

If you’re unsure how to respond to behaviors like clinginess, anxiety, or big emotions, IFC’s Parent Coaching gives you practical strategies tailored to your child and family. **You don’t have to guess what to do next. Let’s figure it out together.**
