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 is helpful!! Come connect over on Instagram @Talia_Anderson__ to find tips on how to implement this 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 deep breath if or when it does because they are aware of how to go about handling the situation. I am...

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 gratitude #3. help them focus on positives rather than negatives. I hope this episode is helpful and I ...

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!! I would LOVE to hear what you think! Come find me @Talia_Anderson__ on Instagram so we can connec...

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 others that they can do the same which is SO POWERFUL!! I hope this episode empowers everyone to be a ...

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 are asking ourselves what is the one thing we would do if we knew everyone else would join us, everyone else w...

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 change!! Today we are diving into EMBRACING everyone's holidays and beliefs even if they are different than ou...

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 situation where they notice themselves getting angry! This question if applied will help them figure ou...

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...

Today we are diving into how it can feel to not be heard and how we can try different strategies to get someone's ...

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 different and we need different things on different days and I want the kids to understand that! We as ...

We talk a LOT about power and today we are making sure the littles understand how our words have power. I clarify what different perspectives are with a fun example about a dog to paint a visual and then I tie it into how even our words can be heard differently than we mean them. It is important to grasp an understand on how our power can have a positive impact and a negative one. I think todays conversation will clarify a lot for the littles and maybe bring up some lightbulbs for them that shou...

Looking back at what affected me as a kid and what insecurities I had to work through as a teen and an adult I understand the power of words that come from the ones around us ESPECIALLY at a young age. Today we are talking about the power of our words and how they can affect kids negatively or positively. As adults we need to be aware of what we are saying and how we are saying it because we never know what it could truly affect in our little's lives. This episode is really different than all my...
