It may seem counterintuitive but children need more freedom and less rules.

This doesn’t mean you are not involved. It does mean that you are more of a partner in your child’s growth.

Autonomy is a basic human need. It is necessary in order to develop self- regulation.

When we limit our child’s autonomy, we are limiting their ability to self-regulate.

Once you let go of some fear, you will see that a whole lot of trust will begin to emerge.

Reach out if you are in need of support for you or your child.

There is no one way to be in relationship with your child.

It comes down to a dance of attunement.

We get good at being attuned when we listen to our own intuition and not the distracting noise of society.

When fear and worry get in the way, we lose our intuitive connection to being a parent.

Most of us have a hard time trusting ourselves because we were not trusted as children.

We need to break the cycle.

If you are struggling connecting with your child/teen, we offer Parent Support sessions to help you gain more clarity. Reach out if you need support.

Belonging and fitting in are two totally different things. We are seeing such unhappiness in the world because we are training children to fit in from such a young age rather than focusing on the fact that they already belong.

From a young age, children are expected to perform in certain ways. Generalized standards require children to fit into boxes.

Children quickly learn to “fit in” and this easily gets confused with their sense of belonging.

You “fit” in when you do things a certain way. You “belong” no matter what.

This is emphasized in our work on the farm with children. They begin to understand the difference and learn to embody the idea that they already belong.

Through compassionate relationships with the animals, children grow comfortable with who they are and begin to understand the messages they are sending out. They learn about the power of nonverbal communication and what it really means to belong.

☀️We currently provide 1:1 services for children as well as support for their parents.

The teen years are filled with new desires and needs.

When those needs are NOT met, you will find challenges in your relationship with your teen.

Teenagers are teetering between exiting their childhood and entering the adult world.

What they need is more FREEDOM and less control.

Partner with your teen.

Listen to them and don't try to fix them.

Give them space to process their own life.

Take an interest in their interests.

Honor who they truly are and not who you want them to be.

Witness the beauty in them so they can see it in themselves.

The hardest part about being a parent is understanding your own emotions and triggers. These can get in the way when your teen is struggling. These emotions can taint how we view a situation and the expectations we have.

Our own childhood experience/trauma will automatically dictate how we respond.

The teen years can be difficult but they don't have to be.

There is a reason that many people are drawn to animals.

Research shows that interacting with animals can decrease cortisol levels and lower blood pressure. Simple put, being around animals can release stress and lessen anxiety.

Animals are nonverbal and therefore less threatening for many people so they can relax more when around them. Connection can come more easily for some.

For others, who might not be as comfortable, being around animals can be an effective way to work on developing more connected feelings in a safe and nonjudgmental way.

When we work with children at the farm, they have the opportunity to manage how they spend their time. It’s an opportunity to develop agency and autonomy through a variety of modalities.

The most powerful thing we can do as parents is to teach our kids to listen to their own voice while they are young and have the cushion of our safe support.

They need to understand that their own worth and value is not contingent on external validation.

We have to be able to trust ourselves if we are going to move through the world with confidence and integrity.

If we are always listening to the voice of others and looking for external validation, we lose connection with our inner voice and inner compass.

If you want to truly connect with your child, get curious about the things they love. Enter their world. Let them form their own value system. In the end, that is what is going to guide them.

If your child is sad, stressed, and/or anxious, we invite you to look at your own stress level, fears, and reactions and to open up to shifting where you might be placing your attention. Consider this: Our kids may be precisely where they need to be at any given moment. Meet and accept them where th...

Triskele Rivers is a safe therapeutic environment for children to explore and understand their complex emotions. It is a place where empowerment through choice is nurtured in regard to both the clients and the animals. Our philosophy is based on mutual respect for all involved. We work closely with parents to unravel what is causing unease in your child and the family, always looking at the many layers, dynamics, and patterns playing out to shift and expand awareness.

When we focus on the behaviors and not the person, it often leads to a fight for control and a break in connection. Learning to be flexible in the demands of your child is different than being permissive. Stop controlling and start listening to open up dialogue and a path toward a healthier relationship with your child or teen.

Nice to see this type of research and discussion taking place. Widening our perspective will support individuals in such a deeper way.

"Labels are something we internalize to define who we are and what we are capable of. All too often, labels limit us. And that’s why reconsidering how we label anxiety, depression or ADHD is important."

What if mental disorders like anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder aren’t mental disorders at all?
