Realistic Expectations For Your Young Child
I work closely with parents of kids as young as 4, and I often have parents ask me if their expectations are too high. Should I expect my 5 year old to help with chores? Should my four year old know not to do that? Each child is different, and you will end up shaping your expectations around your children as they grow and develop. But below are a few unrealistic expectations for children that I've seen or heard in my practice:

Warm Light Guided Meditation Series: Stress Relief and Whole Body Relaxation
Meditation has many, many benefits.
And a big one that we focus on here at Compassionate Counseling St. Louis is stress reduction.
When meditation is used as a relaxation tool, we want to focus on our physical clues that our body is relaxed.
This warm light guided meditation is great for anxious kids and overwhelmed adults.
And like many meditations, it can apply to anyone who is really noticing a lot of stress being held in their body.
