Communication: It’s Not Just Talking
We all communicate in different ways- the spoken word isn’t the only way to communicate and just because you are talking, doesn’t mean that you are getting your message across.
One Thing Kanye is Right About: “Listen to the Kids Bro!”
Kids know things. Like a lot.
On The Other Side of COVID-19
I don’t know about you but I accept the challenge. I accept the challenge of learning how to sustain in unbelievable circumstances, the challenge of growth, and the challenge of just plain old life. There is no manual to this thing, but I know in times like these we wish there were. But look at the history.
Change Your Life- Find Comfort in Discomfort
Your child’s discomfort is okay and necessary! Tell them so as well. Set the expectation that it will pass as soon as they get used to xyz and when they leave the nest they will be more ready to take on the world. The best place to learn these lessons are in the comfort of a loving home.
Trauma and the Use of TF-CBT
It is important to send the message that there are others out there like you and they have thrived. The good thing is that the child doesn’t have to get personal or share details because the focus is simply on psycho education. Usually it’s best to incorporate some type of game or otherwise it feels like endless homework, I mean after all these are children.

Is it Saturday, Again?
The beginning of my day starts out fine, I know what day it is, I look at my planner, see what I have set for the day (meetings, webinars, exercise, my zoom meetings, my kids zoom meetings and their homework, etc.). But once I have accomplished the tasks for the day, because there was not movement from one space (work) to a new space (home)- I begin to completely lose track of time and space. If everything is done by 1 p.m. for example- then we can go on a hike or a bike ride. That isn’t how it used to be, we used to be at work or the kids were at school until at least 3 p.m., not in our home doing these things.
Boundaries in Relationships During COVID-19
It was much easier when we could leave the house to go to work or school, to drive to the place we exercise, to take a night for ourselves away from our household by meeting up with friends out somewhere. Now that we are confined to one place and our social outlet is getting on Zoom with friends, how do we still carve out that space that we need for ourselves in order to reset.
