Caregivers need some help with the chaos even slower mornings can bring. And all year long, kids who are questioning their sexual or gender identity need an authentic support system. We've got tips and tools to help parents handle all three with grace. First, we posted a **parenting playbook on Instagram**. It features six research-backed ways for caregivers to build calm and connection with their child — starting right now. And our downloadable **summer flyer** offers five tips that parents can use to create a smooth summer. We've even got **an article to help families manage morning madness**. Our **June webinar **is perfect for Pride month. We're hosting an open conversation about queer youth and offering tangible support to caregivers who want to learn about how to be their child's ally and advocate. ![Girl with dog](https://images.ctfassets.net/c27ds9epot4n/2D3XJsnf9ZfWc4pHCuLii2/6620652dbdc0f1f6d9c886f6b0174645/AdobeStock_552666913.jpeg?w=2560&fm=webp&q=75) - [Instagram playbook](https://www.instagram.com/p/DZIrCr7lOq0/?img_index=1&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D) - [Summer tips](/download/1ktlonM8qAcWzpc4epynWt/BrightLife%20Kids_Summer%20Tips%20Flyer.pdf) - [Morning madness](https://www.brightlife.kids/blog/managing-morning-madness/) - [June webinar](https://hellobrightline.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_xB-E4aFHTFq3Yw2suet1nQ#/registration) ## An empty desk tells a story School absenteeism affects behavior, learning, and progress. Tied to every absence are worried parents, affected siblings, concerned teachers, and disrupted classroom environments — especially if attendance is affected for a sustained period of time.  There is a story behind every empty desk. Together, we can rewrite it for your students. ![Desk Illustration](https://images.ctfassets.net/c27ds9epot4n/7Jhkr8k7IUjVdtrQfFhK0l/551c5a9ad6b6b92a250c7f271d3df306/BLK_Chronic_Absenteeism_Part_A_Newsletter_Image.png?w=800&fm=webp&q=75) - [Download all assets (zip)](/download/5xK9efK5qkvVdWke4AfSNP/BLK_Absenteeism_Assets.zip) ## Download and share our absenteeism resources **Flyers** ![Chronic Absenteeism School flyer image](https://images.ctfassets.net/c27ds9epot4n/2dMSpp9eyGq9gJ0XzxQVjv/8ad4d3f79af19071f11a896bd0a91f35/702e912b-5b93-4545-b70d-bccf4b46428b.png?w=938&fm=webp&q=75) - [English/Spanish](/download/4TnQMZAV4uhInQI9KMZrvx/BLK%20Absenteeims%20Flyers.zip) **Bravery ladder** ![Chronic Absenteeism Bravery Ladder Image](https://images.ctfassets.net/c27ds9epot4n/1s2Gopd5HmoYZzGx5EVs8r/7574b9ee280e78835ac643ba950fe119/a358e3d0-aa35-400d-9292-0af58b892d79.png?w=944&fm=webp&q=75) - [English/Spanish](/download/3rzsArvpvqa0aClccGmLPe/BLK_Absenteeism_Bravery%20Ladder.pdf) ### Helping kids show up: A guide to reducing absenteeism **August webinar** Thu August 6th, 2026 12:00-12:45 PM PST ![Mom and son fixing backpack](https://images.ctfassets.net/c27ds9epot4n/6ggE8U2jJE52sTVjUn4XZB/37aaebc29c226d9be0ac0e3a5a82cbeb/08-a-newsletter.png?w=1920&fm=webp&q=75) - [Register](http://hellobrightline.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_dHi0DU_iTaenGUQQgPsbdQ#/registration) ### Back-to-School Blues **September webinar** Thu September 10, 2026 12:00-12:45 PM PST ![Mom comforting son with face in hands](https://images.ctfassets.net/c27ds9epot4n/4HMff185xcUf0ftdpGNtfB/ff9ba2ae838c2e75fe03be7ca506a545/AdobeStock_600965492.jpeg?w=2560&fm=webp&q=75) - [Register](https://hellobrightline.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_EyOglVmyT4mN4ChUf4cnqQ#/registration) ## Explore more of what BrightLife Kids has to offer Visit our resources page to find: - Bilingual posters and flyers - YouTube videos - Webinar recordings - Campaign assets ![Happy kids outside](https://images.ctfassets.net/c27ds9epot4n/5KuPR5uWtYOumrLJy4Bn72/228a0d810b2661b568a1ddfa6a0a588a/parent-coaching-kids-outdoors.jpg?w=1200&fm=webp&q=75) - [Back to more resources](/partners/resources/) ## A letter from the California State Superintendent The California Department of Education (CDE), in collaboration with the California Health and Human Services Agency and the Department of Health Care Services, recognizes BrightLife Kids as an essential partner for schools.
