PATIENCE IS A SUPERPOWER Author: Stephanie den Hollander (Semotok) Phenomenally You Life Coaching www.phenomenallyyou.ca As we embark on a new school year, it is helpful for parents to consider effective strategies and ways of being intentional about supporting children.

A recent study done by Washington University School of Medicine found that kids with more supportive, nurturing, and patient parents literally had more brain growth. They were also less likely to be depressed, better able to cope with stress, were better learners, and had fewer problems in school.

Alright, so we know that being a more patient parent is important. That doesn’t mean it is easy, but it is possible.

If patience is a Superpower you want to recharge as a parent, here are a few life-changing strategies that can help in challenging situations.

1. Ask yourself “why?”

Most kids are acting up for a reason. Behaviour isn’t always just a problem that needs to be corrected, but is a need that isn’t being met.

2. Perspective They are kids. Their brains are still developing.

Usually, many factors are contributing to the situation.

3. Nourish yourself Reflect on how you have been balancing your time to nurture your well-being lately. It might be time for a reset to help you to better align your needs. This will help you to approach discipline in a more calm, constructive, and creative way.

4. Timing Probably not the best time to deal with your child’s behaviour if you’re having a bad day already. Give yourself time to refocus, breathe, and to be present in the moment with your child. Ensure they are ready too.

Communicate your needs and make a solid plan to follow up together appropriate to the situation.

5. Getting help You are not alone. Whether you just need to vent to a trusted friend or family member, or start working with a professional Coach or Counsellor. You and your children can get the support and guidance you deserve to be empowered to make meaningful changes in your life. A professional can also help you tailor your approach and deepen your understanding in order to meet the unique needs of your child, and to support you to prioritize your well-being and live your best life.

Zucchini Fritters Ingredients 4 cups shredded zucchini 2/3 cup all-purpose flour 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 1/3 cup sliced scallions 2 Tablespoons olive oil Sour cream, for serving (optional) Instructions Place the shredded zucchini in a colander set over a bowl and sprinkle the zucchini lightly with salt.

Little Funk Library Does your Back-to-school prep consist of rebuilding routines, lots of emotions and concerns of your children’s academic readiness? For many of us we fall somewhere in the blurred lines of the latter. Summer was fun, unstructured perhaps and gone way too fast! So here we find ourselves trying to get back in the groove of back to school - however that may look for your family. Here are some tips on how reading can help with some of the more common concerns our kids/youth may face.

-Take a book or magazine on the bus (great distraction) -Bedtime readings are great especially if you ‘family group read’ with multiple children, but for some this doesn’t work so I suggest trying to set aside 15 mins to read in a special location like a nest (pillow fort) or nook. Take the time, you won’t regret it.

-Encourage your child’s reading interests (yes.. this may include listening to story plots you just don’t understand at the greatest times of distraction haha) -Stories about changing seasons, school days and new friends are great for helping kids ease back into the school year -Books about diversity are great for all ages and all people!

-Lunch box notes are a quick and easy way to get kids reading and help reduce anxiety.

-Silent Reading partners - many individuals no matter the age face anxiety when reading out loud so why not practice reading to your favorite stuffy, in the mirror, to a pet or video/voice record yourself (be silly and change your appearance or voice).

-Visit a local public Library or Take a drive and visit different Little Free Libraries and swap out books. This is a great way to get kids talking about how they are feeling or what they are interested in... car talks are the best! You can get the Little Free Library App to access the map.

Wishing everyone a great first day of school!
