Be Well Kids is … wellness testing for kids…. It’s collaboration… it’s holistic because no one person has the answers… it’s seeking the definitions of wellness in children… On April 5th, 2025 we ran! We ran collectively for children, for nature, and for community. And great community it was. The people I met felt synchronous. The businesses I worked with had an aligned purpose. @green.yyc @musicinnatureyyc @thevault.training @higherlevelhoops @watervalleyforestnursery We are definitely running this program again. Thank you deeply to all our sponsors and volunteers, and especially to our little committed runners. All net proceeds went to Green Calgary’s program called Nature Nurturers. A program to bring the outdoors to schools. Let’s keep the ball rolling!! There is always a light in the dark spaces. Let’s shine that light even brighter. Message me if you are interested in Wellness Testing for your school, home, child.

This -20/-30 stretch is tough. Movement and the outdoors are essential!! So what are some options for calming our wiry children (and ourselves)? Vestibular stimulation can help.

Bouncing or rocking. Swings, trampolines, rocking chairs, lifting, pushing, and pulling. Some people place swings in their living room, have balls to bounce on or have an indoor trampoline The outdoors is our ultimate space but in February in Canada this is harder.

Balanced and Barefoot is a book using occupational therapy tools for children in the outdoors. Vestibular stimulation is a tool they use to promote balance, spatial awareness, reading, athleticism, etc.

I’m thrilled to introduce a new administrator, Jess, who brings with her a wealth of experience - 15 years as an early childhood educator! Jess is paving the way with a unique approach to grounded parenting, offering a fresh perspective that we’re excited to share with our community.

In addition to her educational background, she’s also certified in yoga, qigong, and mindfulness meditation, and has been a wonderful friend and guide on my own personal journey. I can't wait for her to share some of the incredible tools she has taught me. Jess is calm, authentic, and deeply committed to bringing wellness to both parents and children.

I’m so grateful to have her on board with Be Well Kids

It was a pleasure interviewing on this podcast. Margaret (Miss Tweety)!

Hooray for season two of Miss Tweetie’s Parents! I took a break as I needed to figure out where and how I could fit this project into my busier working schedule. There is no doubt in my mind I want to continue this because it feels like a reciprocal bucket filling experience for me as well as my guests. Please consider joining me for an interview. It’s not live. You can stammer and stutter and even say things that you decide not to include. Plus, you walk away with your own personal intuitive song. For many, it serves as a mini therapy session you can pull up whenever you need it. 🙂 #yycparents #parenting #parentingishard

Teaching remorse and forgiveness is tricky with our little ones (and big ones)! Here are some ideas to incorporate into your world.

Remorse and Forgiveness: Setting your child up for a lifetime of success Seeing your child cause tears in another is a difficult moment. Often a caregiver’s immediate reflex is to quickly command “Say you’re sorry!” However, there is far more opportunity to teach children to ‘clean up’ their emotional impact on others when navigated appropriately.
