Tip of the Week

A question that can move mountains

When your child is feeling overwhelmed, procrastinating, or telling you they “can’t do it,” ask them this one simple question: What small step CAN you take? 

One small step forward creates momentum. Sitting idly does the opposite and only serves to let the work, anxiety, or stress mount. 

It’s like a ball at the precipice of a hill. One little nudge sets it rolling.
