Sleep is so important for children and teens, they need 10-12hours, this doesn’t decrease until their brains fully form at 22-24yrs old. I know it’s hard sometimes but start thinking about getting back to the bedtime for school nights now as they’ll need a bit of time to adjust after the long summer break. Any issues just get in touch, it’s probably the number one issue I help both children, adults and teens with 😊

Far too many teens are perpetually sleep-deprived. In fact, the CDC’s latest national data found that only 23% of high school students are getting 8 hours of sleep on an average school night, meaning 3 out of 4 aren't.

And sleep isn’t just about avoiding a cranky teen in the morning (although that IS a bonus); sleep plays a huge role in their attention, mood, ability to learn, emotional regulation, and overall health.

So, maybe it’s time we do slow things down a little. Maybe what our kids need far more than another activity or another hour of productivity is permission to catch as many glorious Zzzz's as they can.

Everyones experience will be different, and, what I've often come to witness and experience is that as we do our own work, the lenses in which we view the people around us change. Especially the lens we view our parents through.

Sometimes we begin to see just how much pain our parent's have been carrying their whole life. Sometimes we begin to recognize that the hurt we carried from them was all they knew. This doesn't excuse it, and it doesn't mean we will forgive it, rather, sometimes it highlights something for us.

Sometimes it redirects our desire to change or fix our parents or repair the past with them to now focusing on breaking the cycle ourselves. Sometimes it shifts how we see our experience and allows for some space to tend to our own pain without needing something to be resolved with our caregivers first.

Sometimes it shows us what we need to see in order to decide that the pattern ends with us, that we now longer need to stay in the cycle that our parents might always stay in. Sometimes it shows us what we so deeply want to change for our own future generations.

It's quite the phenomenon to begin seeing your parents as something more than just "mom/dad". And like I said, this doesn't mean any of the pain they might have brought onto us becomes valid or is something we even forgive - maybe it is for some, and maybe it isn't for others. Rather, it sometimes can give us a sense of freedom to choose if we want to continue the cycle that our parents did.

When we begin to heal, we see our parents wounding, and sometimes with that comes so many other pieces that are important for our journey of breaking the cycle.

We are learning that being related to someone does not automatically give them unlimited access to our lives. Love does not require tolerating repeated disrespect. Forgiveness does not mean removing every boundary. And choosing distance does not always mean hatred.

Sometimes it means healing.

Breaking generational patterns can feel uncomfortable because the person who finally says “enough” is often labelled difficult, selfish, disrespectful, or rebellious.

But healthy families are not built by pretending everything is fine.

They are built through honesty, accountability, emotional safety, communication, and mutual respect.

You can honour where you come from without repeating everything that came before you.

You can appreciate your family while refusing to normalize behaviours that damaged generations before yours.

The cycle changes when someone becomes brave enough to choose differently.

Maybe that person is you.

Not to destroy the family—but to make sure the next generation does not inherit the same wounds disguised as tradition.

Good luck to all the students I’ve been working with for their results. It’s been great to see how 2-3 sessions can help build confidence in young people not just for school stresses/anxieties but for life long situations 🙌
