Some children go from calm to overwhelmed very quickly — and when that happens, many parents are left wondering what to do in the moment.

Our next Parent Workshop will focus on Sensory Regulation & Self-Soothing Strategies for parents and caregivers of K–2 students who need extra support with emotional regulation.

You’ll learn practical ways to help a child calm their body, reduce stress, and regain focus using simple techniques like grounding, deep pressure, and bilateral tapping.

Thursday, May 14
6:00–7:00 PM
Wyoming County Healthcare Center
Register: bit.ly/2025Emotions

This workshop is free. If your child struggles with big feelings, this session is for you.

It is the quiet labor of being known by small hands.
The midnight water cups.
The whispered “watch this.”

Reading bedtime stories with tired eyes and a full heart.
Attending story times, crafting and cuddles.
Living a thousand small moments that seem ordinary until one day they become memory.

Between pages and beyond, mothers are the storytellers of a child’s world.

We see you, and we are so glad you are here!

Wishing you a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend 🌸
