We all want our littles (now bigs!) to feel empowered, safe and good in their transition to Kindergarten. If you little is just getting ready to start or had a rough transition in the past few weeks, here is a care package idea that is magical, whimsical and they are certain to love and feel loved by!

You don’t have to be desperate to ask for help. You can be mildly aware of that internal voice - the one that says, “I’m on the brink here… I’m in the realm of not ok” - and that is enough, mama.

Your nervous system governs your stress response—think fight, flight, freeze. A reset doesn’t mean you flip a switch and become zen. It’s more like slowly loosening a rubber band that’s been stretched too tightly for too long. You’re offering your body micro-moments of safety, presence, and relief.
