Who Is Your Child's Person?
Family, I have a question for you today, and I think it is going to bring some smiles. Who is your child's person? Maybe it is you. Maybe it is a grandmother who gets them. An uncle who plays their favorite game with them for hours. A teacher who noticed them. A cousin, a neighbor, a coach, a church auntie. Tell us about that person, and what they do that makes your child feel seen. Here is why I am asking. One of the most protective things in any child's life is having at least one adult who truly sees them. When we name those people, we remember how much protection is already surrounding our children. And if you are still looking for that person for your child, say that too. This community is a place to start building. Dr. KC

My daughter’s person is her aunt she usually tells her things she won’t tell me and seeks her advice. I think it’s because she is the fun joker person who makes light out of everything 🙄 I am probably my son’s person still 🤷🏾‍♀️

@Dr. Karine Clay PhD despite my reaction I am definitely so happy she has someone “safe” to express herself and confide in because trust me your choice of topic next week is not just something you hear about in the news it’s on my door step. As usual thanks for listening and providing clarity
Mood Check Monday: What Are You Carrying Into This Week?
Good morning, family. New week. Same you, and you are enough. Tell me: what are you carrying into this week? It might be something heavy, something hopeful, or both at the same time. Both are allowed here. One word, one sentence, or a whole paragraph. I am listening. Dr. KC

As I picked up my daughter from school yesterday she tells me that her “bestie” was not talking to her and didn’t even give her a hug goodbye. Poor child almost to a full blown emotional breakdown. I had to calm myself and calm her. I didn’t ignore her feelings at the time however I provided minimal concern to give her time to process and for me to get home. When I got home I sat with her and explained how people are different and don’t always need to talk followed by providing her with other options to occupy her mind and thought process while she got the doing something else to try distract her from what was happening she lacked the ability to train her thoughts and she is only 9yrs, I am almost 50 and don’t seem to get this part down. Saying all this to say parenting is challenging I don’t know if I’m doing this thing right if I am approaching it correctly or if my message is being articulated clearly. Another thing I am carrying this week is that very thin line between correcting my boy child for shouting and the manner of which he interacts with his sister due to sibling rivalry and teaching him how he should communicate and how to treat females. Urggggggggggg Parenting alone is challenging

Mood Check Monday: How Is Your Heart Today?
Good morning, family. Happy Monday. Before this week gets loud, I want to pause with you. How is your heart today? Not how is the school run going, not how is your child's week looking. How are you, as a person? You can answer in one word or one sentence. You can answer with a number from 1 to 10. You can simply say I am here. All of it counts. I will be reading and responding.

Mood Check Monday
Good morning, BRIDGE family. Last Monday of September. Before we get into anything else this week, I want to check in with you first, not your child, not the school, not the to-do list. You. How are you doing, really, as a person carrying all of this? We spent this month sitting with the idea that behavior is communication, yours included. So tell me, one word, one emoji, or a whole paragraph if you need it: where are you right now? However much you have in you today is enough. Dr. KC

It is Ask Dr. KC Day. Drop your question below about your child, about school, about your own capacity to hold it all, and I will respond personally to as many as I can today. Nothing is too small. If it is on your mind, it belongs here. Dr. KC
