Film by Jason Reid Tell My Story Jason Reid

🆓 FREE EVENT
📆September 29th
⏰6:30-8:00pm
📍ISD Administration Building
🎥2 screenings. 1 evening. 2 dedicated spaces

Join ParentWiser and Parenting Upstream for a special evening featuring SHIFT: Do What Moves You, a hope-centered documentary from Tell My Story that explores youth mental well-being, resilience, and the power of taking action during difficult times.

Through real stories from 13 young people—including athletes, artists, performers, and other youth—SHIFT encourages students to move from problem to possibility, build a sense of agency, and discover what can help them navigate challenging moments.

Two screenings. One evening. Two dedicated spaces.
✨Middle & High School Parents/Caregivers: Screening + guided post-film discussion focused on understanding, supporting, and connecting with today’s youth.
✨High School Students: Screening + youth-centered discussion focused on hope, self-awareness, empowerment, and practical ways to navigate difficult times.

Each screening will be followed by guided dialogue led by Parenting Upstream and a clinical mental health professional, creating a supportive space for questions, connection, and meaningful conversation.

Tell My Story believes that stories change people—and when young people feel seen, heard, and supported, real change becomes possible.

✨Thank you Davis Wright Tremaine LLP for reaching out and giving me the wonderful opportunity to help relaunch your Parents Network Employee Resource Group by being today’s presenter.

✨As an Am Law 100 firm with offices from Alaska to New York and California to D.C., DWT is a wonderful example of an organization recognizing the importance of supporting employees not only as professionals, but as parents and caregivers, too.

✨It was such a privilege to connect with parents and caregivers across the firm and share practical, research-informed tools and strategies to support children’s emotional growth, build connection, and navigate big emotions at home.

✨A huge thank you to Lauren, Valerie, and the entire team for creating this space and for prioritizing employee and family wellbeing. I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of this important conversation and hope we can continue the partnership in the future!

Feeling grateful for opportunities that allow me to bring my work with parents, children, and emotional well-being into new spaces💛

This Thursday, I’ll be leading a virtual workshop for the Parents Network Employee Resource Group at an AmLaw100 law firm, with attorneys and business professionals joining from across the country.

We’ll be talking about practical, research-informed ways parents can connect with their children and support emotional regulation, skills that matter at every age.

I’m excited to share what I love to teach with an entirely new audience and grateful that the work I’m so passionate about continues to open doors into new communities✨

A huge thank you to Davis Wright Tremaine LLP for prioritizing employee well-being and creating space for conversations that support working parents both professionally and personally. I’m so excited for this opportunity! ✨

The backpacks🎒are packed.
The supplies 🖍️ ✏️ are purchased.
The calendars 🗓️ are filling up.

➡️➡️But what about all the feelings that come with heading back to school?

For many children, the start of a new school year brings excitement, anticipation, worry, uncertainty, sadness about summer ending, and even fear- all at the same time. Those big emotions don’t always come out as words. Sometimes they look like irritability, clinginess, withdrawal, tears, or frustration.

As parents, we don’t have to fix every feeling, we simply need to create space for them.

✨ Here are a few simple ways to support your child:
✅Check-in with specific feeling questions instead of asking, “How was your day?” Try: “Who were you kind to today?”
🌈Use the FeelLinks Emotion Dolls to help children identify what feelings they’re experiencing- and what others are feeling, too.
📝Encourage journaling when talking feels difficult. Sometimes writing or drawing is the safest way to let emotions out.
📕Read Feel Trip together to remind children that every emotion has a purpose and every feeling is welcome.

When children learn to recognize, name, & express their emotions, they build confidence, resilience, & stronger relationships.

This school year, let’s prepare our children emotionally- not only academically.

🎒 Because behind every backpack is a child carrying a whole lot of feelings 💛

✨Tips Tuesday✨

➡️Sometimes the best conversations don’t start with the right answers… they start with the right questions❓

Instead of asking your child, “How was your day?” (and hearing “Fine.” 😅), try asking questions that invite conversation and help build emotional awareness.

💛 Try asking:
• What made you smile today?
• Who did you eat lunch with today?
• Was there a time you felt proud of yourself?
• Did anything feel frustrating or disappointing?
• Who showed you kindness today?
• What game/project did you enjoy most?

The more specific the question, the easier it is for children to answer! And…identify, understand, and express their emotions.

📝 And if they don’t feel like talking? That’s okay, too.

Some kids process best through conversation, while others need quiet space to reflect. The FeelLinks Journal gives children a creative, judgment-free place to doodle, write, draw, or simply brain dump everything that’s swirling around in their minds. Sometimes they’re too tired to talk. Sometimes they don’t have the words yet. Journaling offers another healthy way to process emotions—and often opens the door to meaningful conversations later.

Remember, connection doesn’t always begin with talking. Sometimes it begins with creating 💗

Some places become part of the story of our lives.

For me, Seattle Center is one of them. I grew up spending countless days at the Fun Forest, riding the Gravitron, playing games and hanging out with family and friends. I attended the Bite of Seattle and countless other community events- and just recently, I was there for the PEPS luncheon- surrounded by families, laughter, and community.

💔That’s why yesterday’s tragedy feels especially close to home.

Our hearts are with the victims, their families, the witnesses, first responders, and everyone whose sense of safety has been shaken-

At FeelLinks, we know that in moments like these, we feel so much emotion- feeling scared, sad, angry, confused, or overwhelmed. There is no “right” way to respond to heartbreak.

What matters is that we make space for those feelings, support one another, and remind our children that they don’t have to carry difficult emotions alone.

May we choose compassion, connection over isolation, and kindness wherever we can.

Seattle, my home, i am holding you close ❤️
