My son is like me in that he needs to process emot

My son is like me in that he needs to process emotions himself before talking about them - especially when frustrated and angry.

My parents would always try to talk to me about what I was feeling instead of asking me about it.

For my son (and some students who I work with), I tell him that I’d like to talk when he’s ready and know that he needs some time to himself. He can come to me when he’s ready and I also check in - sometimes via text, sometimes verbally, sometimes just sitting in the same room with him silently so he can “feel” my support without the pressure to talk.

I think letting tweens know that it’s ok if you’re not ready to talk about this right now, or if you want to talk to someone else, is OK.

Thank you @teenhealthdoc for these ideas!

Of course you can share these words verbally. But so many of you have shared that it's hard to talk.

Some ideas
-text or family group chats with supportive words
-humor using memes/ videos
-post it notes, letters, emails
-my parents STILL send me the best cheesiest "inspirational" or "hard times" greeting cards
-decorate their bedroom door
-little surprises
-care package of small tokens of their favorite things
-talking about others, peers, celebrities

When I finally learned that I had #adhd, so many t

When I finally learned that I had #adhd, so many things fell into place. Why I am who I am - I’m not the freak I thought I was but rather my brain works differently. This image is a excellent example of what’s going on internally for me.

When I was a teen in the early 90s, my parents took me to a counselor because I wasn’t myself.

She told them I was wonderful, but my brain worked different than theirs did, and I was trying to fit in with the rest of the family. And that it was tough.

And that was that. There was not change in my family to try to better understand how I ticked - same ole same ole.

Fast forward almost 20 years where I was told this on my terms, and now I’m learning how to trust my brain and learn even more coping skills to help me feel settled and seen.

Teens shouldn’t have to wait until adulthood to learn about their #neurodiversity , which is why I pass on what worked for me to then to help teen feel good in their own skin, instead of masking to fit in with others.

Growth Mindset. This is such an important #SEL too

Growth Mindset. This is such an important #SEL tool that we need to cultivate in our teens.

Learning how to reframe our limiting thoughts and beliefs to statements that empower abs promote forward movement is a great way to start the school year.

These exercises - reframing the thought - can be used in regards to academics, athletics, arts, or any other “performance”-type goals or other achievements our teens have their hearts set on.

I love these examples shared by @teenhealthdoc

Try it with your kids abs students. Catch yourself in a limiting beliefs and see if you can start moving forward again as well. Modeling is one of the best teaching tools!

What are your kids eating between games at tournam

What are your kids eating between games at tournaments?

When your daughter has multiple games in a day, she needs more than orange slices and sports drinks. These are great for quick energy needs, but she needs more.

We have 2 hours between games today and then two games tomorrow. My daughter is refueling with a ham and cheese sandwich which is a great source of protein, complex carbs, & fat. Nut butter sandwiches are another great option.

She gets some quick carbs for glycogen stores, but also lasting energy for that next game.

We paired that with some fruit, a small sports drink, lots of water and rest.

Move beyond the bars, cracker, and fruit snacks and think about refueling her sport needs.

I lay a foundation with nutrition and mindset tools that integrate with your training plan but can also add on modalities such as massage and corrective exercise to help with the physical symptoms.
