UNO Reverse! Some patterns get passed down without realizing it UNTIL someone chooses to do it differently. Parenting doesn’t have to be a repeat of what you experienced. When you start responding with intention instead of reacting from survival, you begin breaking generational cycles. It’s not easy work, but it’s powerful💛

Meltdowns are not bad behavior. They are not your child trying to get their way or being manipulative. Meltdowns happen when a child feels overwhelmed and doesn’t know how to handle all the big feelings inside. Their brain and body are having a hard time, and they need help to feel SAFE again. What they need most in that moment is YOU. Your calm, your comfort, your support. Not punishment or lectures. Just being there with love can make a big difference. Meltdowns are not something to fix. They are something to understand. 💛
Stimming: short for self-stimulatory behavior, is a natural and important part of how many people, especially neurodivergent individuals, regulate emotions, process sensory input, and feel good in their bodies! Vocal or auditory stims are a type of stim that involve sounds, words, or phrases repeated out loud. It might be a hum, a squeak, a catchphrase, or even a specific tone of voice. They’re often not random, there’s comfort, joy, or regulation built into them, even if they don’t “make sense” to others. 💡 From a behavior analytic lens, stimming can be automatically reinforced, meaning the behavior continues because it feels good or serves a personal sensory or emotional need. It’s a form of self-expression and regulation that doesn’t need to be stopped just because it’s different. Instead of suppressing harmless stims, let’s normalize them, understand their function, and support individuals in expressing themselves freely and safely. 💛 Do you ever catch yourself singing the same song over and over again? Or replaying that one part of a video or sound that just hits right? That’s not so different from vocal stimming, it’s something many of us do! Let us know your current go-to sound or phrase that always seems to sneak into your day. Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose or treat any condition. Everyone’s experiences with stimming are unique, and what’s helpful for one person may not be for another. As someone who values neurodiversity and inclusive practices, we believe in respecting all forms of self-expression. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood because of how you stim, we see you and you deserve support, not shame.

When professionals from different disciplines work together, we get a fuller picture of your child’s strengths and needs. ABA professionals focus on behavior, communication, routines, and building independence. But we’re not meant to do it alone. Occupational therapists support sensory and motor needs, while speech-language pathologists focus on language, communication, and even feeding. Each of us brings a unique lens and when we collaborate, your child benefits from more well-rounded, cohesive care. 😊 Collaboration doesn’t mean everyone does the same thing, it means we respect each other’s expertise, share insights, and build plans that truly support the whole child. When we team up, we don’t strive for perfection but instead partnership. And with you, the caregiver, at the center, we can create meaningful progress in ways that honor your child’s individuality and your family’s goals. #happybeehavior
This moment made me smile so hard. 🥹 My 3-year-old daughter chanting “Mama, tú puedes” as I ran and my heart melted. It was a perfect example of positive reinforcement. Not because it was “positive” in a feel-good way, but because she added something (vers praise), and it increased the likelihood that I’d keep running. This is also ABA. Not just autism therapy. Not just clinic settings. It’s the science of behavior and it’s happening all around us. She’s learning it because I model it. I cheer her on, I reinforce her efforts, and now… she’s doing it to me. 🥹 Reinforcement is personal. Not everyone is motivated by praise. It only works if it increases behavior. That’s why connection, relationship, and knowing your person is everything. 🤩 Use what matters to THEM and you might just see them using it right back on you. 💛

Hey mamas, here’s your reminder that: 
You’re still a good mom if you didn’t breastfeed or produce enough milk. You’re still a good mom if you need breaks & a little me time. 
You’re still a good mom if you feel overwhelmed sometimes.
 With that being said.. sip your coffee & know you’re doin betta than you think🫶🏼 What do you feel mom guilt about?!
Co-regulation is the way we support our kids when they’re still learning to manage their emotions. When they’re upset or frustrated, we’re there to help them calm down, understand their feelings, and navigate through tough moments.
Co-regulation is the way we support our kids when they’re still learning to manage their emotions. When they’re upset or frustrated, we’re there to help them calm down, understand their feelings, and navigate through tough moments. It’s all about showing up with empathy, being present, and guiding them with patience and consistency. The more we model healthy emotional responses and offer reassurance, the better equipped they’ll be to start managing those feelings on their own. As our kids grow, they begin to develop self-regulation. This is when they start to take charge of their own emotions, finding ways to calm down and handle stress without relying on us every time. It doesn’t happen overnight, but over time, with practice and support, they start to internalize those skills. Our job is to encourage their progress, celebrate the small wins, and keep modeling healthy coping strategies. Both co-regulation and self-regulation work together in helping our kids build emotional resilience. 💛
No one really prepares you for how fast it all kicks in (literally day ONE). The second they’re born, you’re completely changed. Running on no sleep & exhausted. But you can’t stop staring at their little chest go up and down just to making sure they’re breathing (for the 10000th time) Ok & yeah maybe record their little snores because ummmmm hello? Adorable I know this worry will be forever but would I do it all over again? F yeah #newmom #newborn

Quality time can look different for every child. Some feel most connected when you’re playing together or sharing a laugh. Others feel filled up just by sitting near you while doing their own thing. What matters is that they feel your presence
Quality time can look different for every child. Some feel most connected when you’re playing together or sharing a laugh. Others feel filled up just by sitting near you while doing their own thing. What matters is that they feel your presence and attention. If your child is reinforced by connection, those moments with you can be powerful. They can ease transitions, reduce challenging behaviors, and strengthen your relationship. You know your child best, and finding what feels natural and meaningful to both of you is what makes quality time truly valuable. 🥺
