Empowering Littles

Today we are diving into the importance of listening to our body and letting ourselves recharge!! We talk about the three things our body needs to be charged and we reallllyyyy highlight sleep!! I know when we are young we get home from a long day we don't want to take a nap because we want to actually play and have fun we don't want to give up our freedom! but we have to remember that i...

Today we are reminding our littles to check in with themselves and embrace their differences! To often we compare ourselves to others and try to be more like other people especially when we are younger. But we need to check back in with ourselves because truly we know what is best for ourselves! We know what feels good and what doesn't so instead of ignoring what  our little voice in our head...

What do you want to be when you grow up? this question seems so simple but truly is sooo loaded. When we ask this we are giving off the impression that you can really only be one thing and once you choose that thing is what you do forever; but really life is fulll of soooo many options that no one really even knows about because the opportunities are almost endless!!! So today we are bringing our...

I am not sure about you but I know that sometimes I just need somebody to remind me that I am AWESOME!! So today I decided I should remind you!! Its really easy to forget and honestly its really easy to just not believe because of what others say or because we are looking around and just feel less than those around us for no reason!! So today we are making the decision to remember how cool and awe...

This episode is a little bit different... I like to be an upbeat friend for the kids who strikes belief into them but unfortunately some kids are going through things we try to block out. Some kids have a different experience in early ages of life and they deserve support too!  Today we is a day where we talk directly to the kids that are being bullied. The support is allll directed at them today...

I am sooo excited about these three questions I shared today!! Sometimes I think we forget that if we do not understand why we are feeling a certain way nobody around us is going to get it either! These questions are meant to help our kids understand themselves so that we can understand them better and completely skip the step of misunderstanding where arguments usually start!!! I hope this tool i...

Today we are diving into how to make a hard decision when we are placed in an unknown tough situation. I open up to the littles about something that happened to me when I was little at recess. It left me with a really hard choice and I was not sure what to do. The point of this episode is to help the littles understand they are not alone if this has happened to them but also that they can take a d...

How often do you go up to the people you love and actually share with them what you love about them by telling them out loud?  Honestly it is probably not that often! We all think people just know how we feel and its not true! There are a few things this episode is going to do for our littles..... #1. teach them how to think about the things they love about others #2. Help them practice showing gr...

Today we are taking a step back together. We are doing a quieter episode learning how to reflect and take inventory of how we are feeling! My goal with this episode is to give the littles a tool that can help them through uncomfortable situations so they can understand how they are feeling and also take a step back to be able to explain their feelings rather than just react and take action on them...

Today we are diving into a superpower we may have not realized we have! This super power is the power to impact others without even knowing!! I want the littles to be able to grasp the concept that even though we may not feel like we are doing it, our daily choices encourage the people around us whether they are friends or strangers! Us just choosing to try something new or be different teaches ot...

Tune in to todays episode with your littles to help normalize the feeling of fear! Today I share a story of a time fear was really hard for me and I had to keep picking myself up and trying again no matter how scary it was! By doing this I proved to myself that I am stronger than the fear that is in my way and I really can do hard things!  I want our littles to know how brave they are and how stro...

Last week if you tuned in you knowed we talked about acting in ways just because we know it would make someone else like us or hangout with us or laugh at our jokes. We talked about how even though in the moment this feels fun because we feel like we "have" more friends.... but deep down these people do not like the true us and that feels really bad! Soo today we are expanding on it! We...

As humans we craveee connection! We want to be liked by our peers and we just really want to feel like we fit in! From ages 0 and up we want the ones around us to like us to love us we seek out that special attention to feel worthy. Soo today we are talking about this!

You ever hear your alarm or get woken up by something and think there is absolutely no way it is already time to get up! I feel this wayy alll the time and I know the littles do too. They hear our voice and think heckkk nooo I am not getting up! Sometimes they even resist, cry, cover their heads, etc.  This episode is for those exact moments! I am here with your kids walking them through a fun way...

Idk about you but when I was younger all the different holidays were touched on verryyyyy briefly and I did not really fully understand how people celebrate completely different holidays at the same time as I am celebrating a holiday... I dont think many kids do understand this because there is this weird stigma where we don't share and talk about different beliefs which I think need to chang...

Kids are learning sooo much as they get older. One of the biggest things they are navigating is how to understand their emotions and how to express them in a way that actually helps the situation. A lot of times this gets lost in the process because kids are choosing to express themselves through actions rather then words. Today we dive into a question that the kids can ask themselves in every sit...

Around the Holidays there is a LOTTT happening and I think it can be easy to always be thinking and in our own worlds missing what others are saying... I know I have been here but I also know I have been on the other side of it, where I am the person that is present and trying to share something super important but the person I am talking to seems like they do not even know I exist.  Today we are...

Sometimes we are not at our 100% energy level. Sometimes we need more rest then others and this is not only true for us adults but for the littles. I want the kids to know that sometimes they will have days where they are feeling more tired than others. They might be in gym class and some kids might have a ton of energy while they feel like they need a nap and that is totally okay!! We are all dif...
