Through school-based programs and professional training, we work to ensure that children are respected, nurtured, and protected.
In addition, our programs promote healthy social and emotional development in all children and families. Our Strategy is to train individuals to deliver our solutions to children and youth of greater Houston and measurably influence their awareness, beliefs and attitudes. This promotes healthy decision-making skills which are proven to prevent risky behaviors and abuse.
👨👩👧👦 Kids Find Safety in Boundaries ✅
In this clip from our Podcast episode with Kelly Broaddus, Kelly reminds us that setting boundaries is not about being strict, it’s about helping children feel safe and secure. Our children may not always like our boundaries, but they need them! And while we can absolutely enjoy life, laugh, and have fun with our kids, our first job is to be their parent.

🛡️ Prevention Starts with the Skills We Teach Today 💪
On today's clip from Building Pathways to Healthy Minds, we are revisiting our Executive Director, Amanda Siroosian. She discussed how children learn through ChildBuilders’ prevention programs to recognize unsafe situations, respond to those situations assertively, and seek help from trusted adults. These skills help children feel safer, build resilience, and contribute to safer communities where they can thrive! 💜

🌻 "You are not alone."
⏪ Every Friday this summer, ChildBuilders is sharing memorable moments from Season 2 of our podcast, Building Pathways to Healthy Minds. On today's clip, psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner Stephanie Smith shares a powerful reminder for anyone carrying the weight of trauma. When we're struggling, it's easy to believe that no one understands what we're going through. But connection, support, and community are often where healing begins.

👶 "Don't make a happy baby happier" 😊
One of the best pieces of parenting advice Tamra Wilkerson received was simple but powerful: if your child is content, safe, and happy, there's no need to constantly entertain, distract, or improve the moment. As parents, it's easy to feel pressure to do more, fix more, and create the "perfect" experience. But sometimes the greatest gift we can give our children is the space to simply "be." Let them explore, observe, and enjoy the world at their own pace!
⭐︎ A good reminder for all of us: not every moment needs to be optimized. Sometimes, happiness is already enough.

😎 ChildBuilders is wishing you a safe and resilient summer! 🌻🍉
Summer brings sunshine, fun, and plenty of new adventures. As routines change and children spend more time at camps, sleepovers, and online, it's important to remember that prevention is an ongoing responsibility. Just as we adapt to the heat by staying hydrated, taking breaks, and caring for ourselves, children build resilience by learning healthy ways to cope with challenges and setbacks. 🌞

🌟 Celebrate a Dad Today 🧢
Today, ChildBuilders is honoring the fathers, grandfathers, and father-figures who make a lasting difference in the lives of children. A caring, supportive adult can help a child build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of belonging. Whether it's through listening, encouraging, teaching, or simply being present, fathers play an important role in helping children thrive.
Thank you for showing up with patience, compassion, and love. Your impact reaches far beyond today. 🙏
