We all want what’s best for our kids, but when does too much of a good thing become a bad thing? In our efforts to keep young people engaged, we sometimes let the schedule get overcrowded – and that can lead to stress. We may not always see it coming, but it’s pretty obvious once it arrives.

Join our tardigrades, nature’s most resilient creature, to learn a few secrets about how to get back on our feet when things don’t go our way.
Episode 9 – Marv or Myth? Talking About Mental Health
Is it real, or is it a myth?

Episode 10 – Build A Bear
Everything takes practice!
And that includes learning how to be assertive – how to speak up. It may come easier for some than it does for others, but it’s a very important life skill that we can all develop. Episode 10 will help to show you how.
Episode 11 – Negative Social Media, Riding The Pine
Have you ever tried something new? Of course you have! Everything you have ever done was brand new to you at some time, right? Maybe it went well, maybe it didn’t, but getting up off the bench and giving it a try is a great first step to take.
What about trying social media? Well, it can be a great way to connect with new friends and old friends, but it shouldn’t replace playing and learning. These are the things that Coach Hampton and her team are about to find out – and they would like you to join them!
Episode 12 – It’s Written In The Stars
We each deal with the death of a loved one – and the changes – differently, but it’s important to know what is on the path ahead for nearly all of us who grieve.
Our three friends, Quinn, Cameron, and Olivia, are dealing with their own grief, but they soon discover they have more in common with one another than they knew.
Episode 13 – Divorce, Under The Microscope
What happens to a family when parents divorce? The answer to that question is probably different for every single family, but one thing is certain – life changes.
Change can bring opportunity, but it can also bring fear, sadness, even anger. As painful as those feelings can be, it’s important to talk through them and to understand what you and your family are experiencing.
It’s also important to speak up. Everyone in a family matters, and everyone should have their feelings heard. Use the Cartoonversation™ Card to get those voices going, and be sure to speak your mind and your heart.
Enjoy the cartoon. Enjoy the kids.
