I have been working hard these past few days and decided to take a break for connection today. We need to be intentional about nurturing our connections with our teens (or any relationship for that matter!) So today is all about having fun and spending quality time. We are going to a Wipeout style water park (remember the tv show.. it’s kinda like that 🤪). Hopefully I come back in one piece! What will you be doing to connect this weekend?

Ever find yourself reacting rather than responding to your teen? 🤔 Take a mindful minute today to breathe and reflect. Before you react, pause and ask yourself, “Is my response driven by love and understanding?” To keep it simple, reflect before you react ⭐️ Neuroscience shows that mindfulness can reduce stress and improve communication. Let’s start the week with a commitment to mindful parenting! Share your experiences or challenges below. How do you stay present with your kids?
