25.01.2022 Love this timely reminder in the lead up to the holiday season... try giving yourself and your family the 'Gift of Less' this Christmas! . . . "Serviettes" by the wonderful Amanda Donnet from Spilt Milk Psychology

25.01.2022 Love this concept for juggling the many balls of Life! Recognising which balls are plastic and which ones are glass... Giving yourself guilt-free permission to drop a few plastic ones if you need, to focus on catching the glass ones... And knowing that your focus may change, depending on circumstance/ personal values/ time... and that is okay too.... So take a moment to pause and reflect - what are YOUR glass balls?

23.01.2022 Man or woman, boy or girl, or anything in between... Feel deeply, express honestly. That is courage. That is human. . . #feelthefeels #express #breakthestigma #courage #growth #raisinghumans #mentalhealth #psychology

19.01.2022 Knowing how best to support your child can hit a whole other level of confusing in the teenage years... This simple phrase is a great starting point, and can be surprisingly effective!

18.01.2022 Some great tips for helping little ones prepare for and cope with separation.

18.01.2022 Language Is Important!!! We've had some recent conversations with families of trans and gender fluid young people, around ways of providing support - including use of preferred pronouns. Getting used to using new pronouns for someone you know can absolutely some practice! Remember though, it's not about being perfect, but rather about making the genuine effort. ... If you're wondering how best to navigate any pronoun slip-ups, here are some great tips....

15.01.2022 Opening up and sharing your struggles can be such a brave and vulnerable thing to do... it's SO important to remember this truth if the person you opened up to doesn't respond as you needed in that moment. Don't allow someone else's failing stop you from seeking the support you need. . . .... . Image credit: im_powering See more

15.01.2022 Assertive communication (communicating your needs in a clear way while still respecting others) is something that many struggle with - even in to adulthood. It's never too early (or too late) to learn though! Check out these clear simple examples from Big Life Journal about how to find that important middle ground through 'Assertive Owl Communication'.

14.01.2022 It's important to let our kids know that our mental health and how we feel about ourselves can fluctuate from day to day. If you're feeling blue one day or for... several days, it does not mean you are failing; it might just mean you're going through a rough patch. Of course, it's always important to talk about these things. Warm smiles See more

13.01.2022 One of the most common issues that we hear about in multi-child families is sibling conflict! Although in some ways the sibling arena is a natural learning and testing ground for the development of social and emotion regulation skills, there are some things you can do as a parent to support this process. The Gottmans' Emotion Coaching method is a 5 step approach to help your kids to understand, communicate and problem-solve together. Great skills that will benefit them through their years ahead!

10.01.2022 *** Important notice for parents of young people on social media ***

10.01.2022 This is something we talk about a lot in therapy - the difference between *responding* vs *reacting* to an emotion or event. It is a shift that takes endless repetition and practice, but rewards us with that wonderful thing called CHOICE... and lucky us, no matter how often we mess up, life provides endless opportunities to practice! . . ....

08.01.2022 You know that sinking, sickening feeling you get when you know you really messed up? When you got frustrated and overwhelmed and lost your temper and said somet...hing hateful or shouted so loud your throat hurt or just acted like a great big jerk and you feel like the worst person EVER? We all have those moments, even as parents. They’re ugly, for sure, but they can also open the door to amazing reconnection with our children if we’re willing to be real with them. Think about it. Our children are new here. They mess up aaaallll the time. And they get that same sinking, sickening feeling we do when they know they messed up. Only, they don’t have the life experience to understand that they can still be okay when they don’t feel okay, to know that they’re still loved when they’re acting unlovable, to see that being human is just a lifelong process of learning how to be human and that that’s okay. So when we have our occasional adult meltdowns and that sinking, sickening feeling threatens to put us in a shame-filled adult time-out, let’s try to turn it into a ‘time in’ instead: a time in reconnection through apologies; a time in honest conversation as you talk to your tiny humans about normal human emotions; a time in relationship growth as you share about your own struggles and needs in age appropriate ways; a time in softening and stretching and becoming our most velveteen-real selves that our children can truly relate to and hold onto in their most vulnerable human moments. You’ll be surprised at how understanding your children can be and how honesty is not a bridge too far, but a bridge to healing.

07.01.2022 "The Feelings Hotel" by Emma Quick It's never too early to start learning to relate to feelings in a healthy way... remembering that emotions always have messages and there's no such thing as a bad emotion - just uncomfortable ones! #feelthefeels #acceptance #makingroom #letitgo #narrative #wellbeing #mentalhealth

07.01.2022 Some great news to share with our Red Robin Psychology community!

07.01.2022 Check out this great article by the The Gottman Institute about how to set limits for kids in a firm and loving way... What *we're* loving are the clear and practical examples of what this looks like in the messiness of day-to-day life! #GottmanInstitute #PeacefulParenting #FirmAndKind #limits #learning #DisciplineNotPunishment

07.01.2022 It's not the absence of ruptures that is important in your relationship with your child (or anyone)... but rather the presence of REPAIR. . What words do you use to initiate 'repair' moments?

06.01.2022 Some of the most important (and challenging) work we can do in our life's journey... to pay attention, notice, and CHOOSE who we want to be and how we want to show up in this moment. To choose the path of growth, of courage, of vulnerability and authenticity. The beauty of it is, that the Present Moment is always there, offering us that choice and opportunity. #hereandnow #awareness #mindfulness #courage #authenticity #vulnerability #choicepoint #breakthecycle #mentalhealth...
