Fun and laughter were had while helping with activities at the ”Glowing Through It” youth and teen event at the Bayou Vista Civic Center last night with fellow counselor and social work friends. The kids brought the energy! We brought play to discuss important topics.

💙 We broke the lie (negative thoughts) we tell ourselves.
🩷 We spoke truth to ourselves. “I am enough. I can do hard things.”
❤️ We talked about red flag behaviors and unhealthy friendships.
💚 We talked about green flag behaviors and healthy friendships.
💜 We connected with our support system.

Special thank you to the organizers of this event It Takes A Village: SMP and Growing Minds Therapy!

💛 What truth are you speaking to yourself going into this week?

I was feeling a little yucky from looking at the computer screen for too long. So I went outside for a few minutes. I closed my eyes, took some deep breaths, and noticed my senses. The grass on my feet, the sounds of birds, the warmth of the sun, the feeling of the wind blowing through my hair. How do you like to reset after a long day?

What happens after a child makes a mistake matters.

And telling the truth can feel scary— especially when a child thinks it will get them into trouble.

But when mistakes are routinely met with steadiness instead of shame, children learn: “I can be honest here. It’s safe, even when I make a mistake.”

The next lesson they can learn is accountability and the need to repair what we break, if it can be repaired. And even if it can’t - to try.

Over time, this builds trust and respect in your child, for other people and for themselves.

If this is something you’re growing into, you’re in the right place.

When a child is overwhelmed, their thinking brain can go offline. Big feelings take over, and it can be hard for them to calm their body.

One simple strategy that can help in these moments is crunching on an ice cube.

The intense cold sensation activates the body’s sensory system and can help interrupt the stress response. It gives the brain a strong, safe sensation to focus on, which can help shift attention away from racing thoughts or overwhelming feelings.

Cold stimulation can also activate the vagus nerve, which helps the body move out of fight-or-flight and back towards a calmer state.

For some children, especially those who respond well to sensory input, this quick sensory reset can help their body slow down enough to begin regulating again.

It won’t work for every child, but for some young people it can be a surprisingly effective way to ground themselves in the moment.

If you’d like more practical strategies for supporting children through big feelings, the Managing Big Feelings Toolkit is available — link in comments below ⬇️ or via Linktree Shop in Bio.
