Have you ever asked your child how school was and get hardly any response or detail? We want to know how their day was, or what they did at school, or how they are feeling. But when kids feel bombarded with questions right away, they’re more likely to get overwhelmed, and frustrated.

There are many ways that you can nurture your child AND it’s also important to nurture yourself too! As a caregiver, it is important to be nurtured to not only feel good about yourself as you care for your little one’s needs everyday but to also give you the energy needed to show up and be present.

It’s not always easy to remember in the moment – but it’s so important to look beyond the behavior we see if we want to help kids learn better strategies and emotional regulation.
