It can feel overwhelming to figure out what to say and do to raise our kids with all they need.
The good news is that the thing they need the most is not for us to get it all right, but for us to present enough.
Do your best to show up and communicate care with your body and face and your kids will feel loved.
Discover valuable tips for staying calm and helping your children regulate their emotions in this must-watch video, where you'll learn how to teach them about their feelings and embrace your own body state.
