Spring Clean Up
Spring clean up is a term almost everyone associates with. When we say Spring clean, what comes to mind? Probably cleaning out your car, getting rid of the crusty salt stains on your mats. Perhaps de-cluttering your garage, tune-ups on your lawn mowers or even swapping sweaters for sandals in your closet. Spring is an energizing time for Michiganders, as we have hibernated for months and now have that burst of excitement for warmer temperatures and bright colors.

Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, ChatGPT, Candy Crush—the list of social media
platforms, games, and other interactive outlets at our fingertips feels endless. Most of us have
seen that notification letting us know we’ve averaged six (or more) hours of screen time per day
over the past week and had that moment of wait… really?

We hear these terms "stress", "anxiety", and "trauma" all the time, but what exactly is the difference? Are they different? The answer is complicated. Stress, anxiety, and trauma are all terms to describe distress, nervous system dysregulation, and symptoms that interfere with our optimal functioning.

The stress of seasonal affective disorder may start creeping in, but it’s important to remember these days can also bring comfort and a chance to make positive changes too.

As summer comes to an end and the early mornings begin again, it’s time to help children (and adults!) transition smoothly back into an environment of learning. Whether it’s your child’s first year at a new school, or they are returning to familiar classrooms, starting school again can bring a mixture of emotions and questions.

Parenting school-aged children over the summer can be a challenge for any parent. For nearly ten months out of the year, we have a routine and a strict schedule where we are typically very busy managing our own personal and professional lives. It is difficult to switch gears mid-June as all the busy-ness seems to come to a screeching halt.
