Sometimes we get frustrated with our children and might end up in a power struggle. When that happens, it's okay to walk out of the room to cool down or to "take your sail out of their wind." It helps you get your mind back in gear and to focus. Just remember to apologize and this sentence can help when you are apologizing to your children.

Lower expectations.
Show them love no matter what.

When a baby cries, they are trying to communicate with you, even if they are "fake" cries. Make sure to figure out what each cry means and don't ignore them. Picking up a child when they are crying helps them learn to either self sooth or associate you with being calm.

This time of year, when it feels like the sun sets right after lunch 😳, can feel extra stressful for everyone.
Grounding techniques help us focus on the present - we deal with what’s in front of us, in our zone of control, right this second. It’s a way to shift our energy to regulate our nervous systems.
There are different ways to ground yourself:
✅ visualization
✅ movement
✅ thinking about your surroundings and your supports
It takes practice to get into the habit of using grounding techniques. I recommend practicing every morning and every night…when stress does spike, you’ll know just what to do.

Are you having trouble connecting with your teen? Check out Dr. Hina's top tips @teenhealthdoc on how to find ways to connect with your teen during one of their most pivotal time periods. These work all year round, not just during summer! Connecting with your teen helps them also learn how to regulate their emotions and stress, and learn to communicate through modeled behaviors. Some of her other tips include: ⭐ Find ways to be silly, laugh with or surprise them. Big kids are not too old for little surprises. ⭐ Ask them when they would like to talk AND if it's ok to check in about the topic at hand before digging in. ⭐ Reflect on a strength you have noticed in them back to them. ⭐ Reach out but make sure you are not preaching.

Children getting hurt is normal, especially in their toddler years. They learn that sometimes you need to pick yourself back up after you fall. Just remember that play helps with their social and mental growth and that it's okay to try new things at the playground. As long as they are safe and watched by a responsible adult, they will be able to grow into amazing human beings. Remember: every day, a little play! video by @totsontarget #parentingeducation #activeparenting #parentingtips #play #everydayalittleplay #playeveryday #reslilientchildren #raisingresilientkids #totsontarget #elkofrc
Everyone could use an extra helping hand once in a while. Family Resource Center is available to help with many things, including two programs that assist those in need of help paying for child care! One program is for moderately low income families who have children being cared for in licensed facilities like the Boys & Girls Club or day care in Elko County. The other program specifically helps grandparents raising their grandchildren in northern Nevada; the age requirement is 55 or older, but there are no income limitations. If you are interested in either of these programs or know someone who could use some extra support, please call us or refer them. Our phone number is (775) 753-7352, or email [email protected] for more information or to apply. If neither of these programs sound like they would work for your situation, please still reach out as there may be other resources or options to help your family get through whatever you are dealing with.

With divorce rates increasing every year, this is the time to reflect and show awareness to the amount of children that are put in situations they most likely aren't ready for. One of the ways to help decrease the number of children with divorcing parents who may be put in challenging situations is to join a Cooperative Parenting and Divorce class. Learn new techniques to communicate with your co-parent in a constructive manner and methods of compromising that keep your children away from problems and conflicts.

For many moms, breastfeeding poses some challenges! Some of these challenges can be sore nipples, low milk supply, nursing strike, engorgement, and other oppositions. Some ways to overcome these challenges is to check baby’s position and latch, offer both breasts at feeding, breastfeed every time baby is hungry, encourage milk flow with a warm compress, and keep your routine. If anyone has any questions, please give our WIC office a call at 775-753-7352, or visit this link for more information - https://wicbreastfeeding.fns.usda.gov #elkowic #nevadawic #breastfeeding #wicwednesday #elkofrc #liquidgold #healthyfamilies #support

Our final Mother’s Day Giveaway winner! That’s it for this fun drawing, stay tuned for a Father’s Day Giveaway coming soon! Happy Mother’s Day this weekend to all the special mothers out there that make this world so great!
NEVER make eye contact 👀😹 “Why won’t my baby nap any longer than 20 minutes??” and “How can I get my baby to sleep longer during the day?” are questions that I get all the time in my DM’s. Are you ready for a truth bomb….💣 Short naps are not usually caused by ONE thing, but a couple things. Babies that aren’t able to fall asleep alone are usually unable to connect sleep cycles on their own, thus leading to short naps that last under 40 minutes. Coupled up with a regression, or illness, or changing nap places – or incorrect schedule – and you’ve got a serial cat napper! Is there something you’ve tried with your baby to help them nap better and it just seems to be not working? Do you think your baby is sleeping enough during the day or not enough? The WIC staff at Family Resource Center can help with questions like this, as well as the health and nutrition needs of your growing family! 775-753-7352 Cute baby video via @lindseygurk; post content by @sleepandthecity #sleep #infantsleep #babysleep #nap #naptips #momlife #dadlife #parentlife #parenting #sleeptime
